2013

...
2013. You were my melting pot of emotion. Excitements came wrapped up in the purchase of our first new home, new car, first family beach vacation, Gabe and Molly's first start of elementary school together. Yet, in the parts in-between.... you were sad and empty with the loss of both of my grandmothers in just 5 small months. You had a lot of loss this year, 2013. For that alone, I reach with open arms to all the promise of 2014...even if I feel overwhelmed and uncertain.

2013...

You started us off with laughter, great breakfast and a fierce love of mustaches.
January

Small things became a WHOLE hand old...
February

Sibling love was found candidly in the sunshine... it warmed the winter away.
March

Birthdays were suddenly "2" times as fancy...
April

In friendships we found strength
May

and the calm was welcomed with open arms...

June

I guess God knew we would need the calm...

July

With holes in our hearts...and some in a mouth, life carried on... and we grew.
 August

 Together.
August

 Laughter and love made our new house feel like home.
 September

2013. You made us adventurous.
October

You made us explorers.
November

You made us thankful for greatness.
 December

So we forge in to this unknown of 2014... hopeful.

 Happy New Year.
