Looking back at 2012

It BLOWS my mind that another year has come and gone. I’ve been looking back at our 2012 on my blog and my poor heart just about broke seeing HOW BIG my babies got this year. I cannot believe it.

This year has been filled with highs and lows, as the years typically are. I’d say we had more highs than lows this year and looking through the pictures reassured me of one thing: we are SOOO VERY blessed.

Here’s a look back at our year! Some are special memories. Some are just favorites photos!

January

February

In February, Reed was baptized. It was a special day for him and for our family! February was also a difficult month, as my grandpa passed away. Not only was it sad losing him, but it was sad for me to lose my first grandparent. I’m blessed to have my grandparents in my life and it was definitely a hard experience.

March

April

Zach celebrated his 29th birthday!!!

May

June

In June, Ava started gymnastics. She REALLY enjoys going to class each week and has learned so much in her short time taking it. She started out at one gym, and we’ve since switched and she continues to do well!

July

In July, Ava took a week long dance class to see how she would like it. She enjoyed it as well and takes classes at a small studio that we really love!

2012 was a year full of joy, trials, and learning. I’m really excited to see what awaits us in 2013. While I’d like it to all be happy, I welcome whatever comes our way as that’s the story of our lives. Hope you’ll come along for the ride!
