Year in review

Alright, this last year was a big one for us, for here is a quick review:

Last January was miserable. Between the two kids we were at the doctors at least every other week, for about 3 months. Awful

February we celebrated our 5th anniversary! Kids were still sick, especially Lila.

March Heavenly Father answered my prayers, as I was really struggling with two kids.

April was great. Lucas was sleeping better and Lila's ear infections were not as often. And she had tubes put in at the end of the month - what a difference! Under that screaming was actually a very happy girl! We were lovin' life.

Matt turned 27 in May, Lila turned the big O-N-E! And again Heavenly Father was teaching me a valuable lesson, one I will never forget.

In June we made our big move after four years in student housing. And I celebrated my 24th birthday. My siblings and (most of our) spouses participated in the "Dirty Dash". It was a blast!

July was fun. Lila finally learned to walk, only took her 14 months to do so. :) The kids really enjoyed their new place.

August- after 6 years, I decided it was time to go back to school. I have been wanting to for a long time, in fact I have enrolled several times, but something always came up and I felt Heavenly Father wanted me to wait. But, I finally did it. First semester was interesting, rough doing school stuff with kids and a dying computer, but it was good. I am glad I am back in. MAtt started his second to last semester. WOOHOO!! He still enjoyed school, but was ready to get out in the realy world.

In September, after growing concerns of Lila's weight and new information of relatives who have celiac disease, we decided to have her tested. Tests came back great - she is healthy, though suffers from "Failure to Thrive". But at this point she is steadily growing, still not on the charts, but is growing. Lucas started Preschool, and hasn't stopped talking about it since.

We had a bast Trick or Treating in October. Lucas and Lila are definitly fans of getting candy from anyone and everyone they meet.

November was Lucas' 4th birthday! He is SO old. I feel SO old! Thanksgiving was a great time for us.

December was great, is was stressful with finals, and kids and the holidays. But worth it all. Pictures are coming soon of our Christmas! :) And I am borrowing a computer which means I have easier access to the blog, and homework. I am thrilled!

I hope everyone had a great year too. And we look forward this year, as it will be a big one for our family. Matt will be graduating in May, which means a move, possibly out of state, which also means a job! Yippee!!
