2012 in Review

It seems like this year happened in the blink of an eye! I can't believe how much our lives have changed in one year. We went from a family of 3 to a family of 5 for heaven's sake!! Here is a brief look back at what happened through the year for us.

January: I played a lot of agility with Hobbs, and we spent the month duct taping Kaylee into her night time diapers.
February: We announced that we were once again expecting a September baby.
March: Robert and I worked hard getting our front yard ready for planting grass. I suffered through a rough first trimester of pregnancy.
April: Hobbs and I played in a couple amazing agility trials, I reached the half way point in the pregnancy, and we were shocked at our 20 week ultrasound to find out we were having TWIN GIRLS!!
May: We adjusted to the idea of suddenly becoming a family of 5
June: I moved into the 3rd trimester of the pregnancy and went with my family to Washington to visit my sister and her family.
July: Kaylee turned 3!!
August: We celebrated what would have been Cadence's first birthday, went camping with me being 35 weeks pregnant!! The middle part of the month is a blur because it was BY FAR the most difficult part of the pregnancy, and probably the most uncomfortable I have ever been in my entire life. On the 28th we welcomed our new little girls into the world and into our family.
September: We adjusted to life with three, Kaylee started preschool, and Robert started an out of town job in Colorado leaving me home to take care of the kids on my own.
October: The month was crazy with Robert being gone most of the time, and my mom coming to help most weeks. We all dressed up for Halloween and Kaylee loved trick or treating
November: We blessed the babies, I received a bear in remembrance of Cadence, and I struggled with some mommy guilt after being on my own for practically two months straight.
December: Robert continued to work out of town and I stopped having my mom come as often so that I could learn to do things totally on my own. We had a crazy Christmas with family visiting, and welcomed the end of the year by going to bed early.

It was a crazy year, but I have to say that I loved almost every single part of it! I can not wait to see what 2013 will bring!
