My First Christmas!

I’m so cute!  Just irresistible!  Oh, and I’m crawling now even though I can’t sit up independently yet.   I have 3 teeth, and the third one is off to one side up top.  I love to play and am super-duper ticklish.  But, don’t try to take me out of my mom’s arms, I really really really don’t like that…unless I get to play blocks on the floor with my Dad and Sister.  That’s fun.  I like to destroy sister’s towers!

More adventures in 2012!

Visit the Victorian Festival.  Half-way through my second pregnancy.  We’re going to have a boy!

February - 

Fun at home.  Hubby is released as Elder’s Quorum President.  Pregnancy hurts, more than last time.  Hmmm….

March -

And hurts and hurts and hurts.  Why doesn’t anyone believe me?  We also get news that Hubby’s job is in jeopardy due to budget cuts.

April - 

Finally blog about pregnancy woes.  Easter!!!  No news about whether we’ll keep our job or not.

May - 

My best friend surprises me by coming to my rescue.  A week later, I’m a mom of 2!!!  Miss E turns 4 the day I return from the hospital.  Still no news on the job front.

June - 

Adjusting to being a mom of 2, still no news on whether we’ll keep or job or loose it.  I become a baby wearer and cloth diaper-er.   The pain subsides, yay!

July-

Great Grandma comes to visit.  Little Man is blessed. I turn 29 – for real.  Miss E breaks her collar bone.   Still no job news, and we’re super sick of waiting.

August-

Life goes on.  My youngest sister announces she’s engaged.  Still waiting for job info…bah.

September - 

Miss E gets her hair cut and starts preschool.  Little man gets bigger and bigger and bigger.  No job news, yet.

October-

Halloween!  Still no job news.   I’m called as Primary President in our ward.

November-

Dr. Seuss Baby Shower for my sister.   So excited about how it turned out.  Thanksgiving.  Thought we were finally going to find out about our job, but still waiting.

December-

Christmas is coming…but first…a bridal shower,

a new brother-in-law,

a new neice,

and news that we’re not going to lose our job or get a huge pay cut!!!!

What a year…
