2013....a good year!

2013 was a good year for my little growing family. Owen turned 6 and wy turned 3. It was mostly full of good health and happiness however some sadness too. The loss of my grandfather and our very dear friends five year old son. We continue to pray for our good friends for strength and peace and a new normal without their precious son, carter.

We traveled a lot this year and enjoyed every minute of it, except for when kris took out the fresh water spiket at the traverse city state park.

We enjoyed two beautiful weddings....my sisters in May and my sister in law in September. Each wedding was just perfect and I'm so happy to have two new brother in laws in the family.

I continued to work from home part time all of this year and spent so much time with the boys. I've been feeling great and have not experienced any new or crazy drug interactions since my last allergic reaction in March. I'm cruising along quite comfortably on my steroids and another medication.

We have kept very busy this past year with Owen's school and have had lots of play dates. I can't wait for wy to start school next year and make some friends all his own.

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in November and had a double mastectomy and is currently undergoing reconstruction. She continues to be my hero and I look up to her and thank God for blessing her with life. I have so much to learn from her. And kudos to my dad for being an amazing caregiver to her. I admire him so much for all that he is doing for her.

Props to my awesome in laws who love our boys so much and take them whenever they can. It's always nice to just be alone whether I'm by myself or with kris.

Kris will be taking over a new program at work next summer. I'm so proud of all that he has done to provide for our family. And I'm so happy that he truly loves what he does.

We wish you and yours a very happy new year!! We recently accepted an offer on our house so pending the appraisal and inspection, 2014 might be a very exciting year for us!!

Here are a few recent pics of me and my boys taking on kris' moms bday just a few days after Christmas.
