Year in Review: 2016

It's been awhile since I've done a full look at our last year - in fact - it was the first year we started the blog.  Can you believe it?  That post was in 2012!  A lot has happened since then and 2016 has sure been a whirlwind.  I'm not much of a crier but I won't lie...I teared up quite a bit when I set my photo filter to 2016 and started sifting through every picture I've taken since January (and I take a lot of pictures).

So here it goes - 2016 in a nutshell.

• On New Year's Day I started painting the trim and doors in what is now Lily's bedroom.

• I left BDO to start what I thought would be a long lived career in teaching.

• Coco had a baby!

• We did Disney!

• This little one turned FOUR.  Ugh.  Time slow down.

• We took our first boat ride in March.

• Mike celebrated 9 years in remission.

• Lily finally moved into her new room the first week in April.  Yikes.

• Baby Jane arrived!

• I participated in my first ever graduation ceremony (and last).

• We did some pretty decent exterior projects.

• We lived up the summer on the water as best we could with a boat that only ran when it felt like it.

• Lily had her first dance recital.

• Lily and I had the time of our lives for two summer months.

• My brother got married.

• My bestie got married.

• We talked about having another baby and the next second I was pregnant.  Ready or not.

• We celebrated 7 years of marriage.

• We went to our first Sparty game.  Yup that's lemonade in my cup.  

• We did Hawaii!

• We took our last boat ride in November.

• My bestie turned 30.

• It snowed.  A lot.  Then it all melted.

And that my friends - is our 2016 in short.  Happy New Year!
