I wanted to take a moment to reflect on this past year.
Katie survived her first year with her 3 siblings who took quite an interest in her...and are still thrilled to compete over who can make her smile or laugh first. These pictures are from January:
In February, the kids practiced holding Katie...
Here's how Katie felt about it:
March brought with it a big old snowstorm...
As well as Times of Togetherness...
Loads of Laughter (and teething!)...
And the first picnic of the year!
April brought times of family togetherness:
Birthday wishes for an uncle:
Easter:
And Valiant Super Heroes...
April showers bring May mud puddles...
Sprinklers...
New tastes...bananas for Kaitlyn, popsicles for the older kids:
And beautiful eyes!:)
June meant fun in the pool!
Science projects & experiments...
Cute girls...
Big Accomplishments at 3 & 1/2 years of age...
And growing up...
July brought more birthdays...(Josh turned 2!)
And cute baby feet!
August was a trip to South Dakota. We stayed at a cool hotel (thanks Mark & Mary!) that had a big pirate ship wading pool for the kids:
August was also hands-free corn on the cob...
Exploring nature between rain showers...
And (gasp!) a VACATION up north!
September held the remainder of our Labor Day weekend vacation...
Fun photo-ops:
And Megan's mud bath:
October was a visit to the apple orchard...
Pumpkins galore...
And halloween...
November was a new little walker in the house...
As well as a 4th birthday for Megan!
And finally, December brought beautiful scenery, from frost...
To snow...
As well as Miss Kaitlyn's first birthday!
Holiday baking...
Packages delivered...those empty boxes are always a hit!
New traditions...camping out under the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve (yes, this is our Charlie Brown tree, but it served its purpose!)
And the obvious, celebrating Christ's birth & opening/enjoying new presents...
2007 was great! Now we're done reflecting, so go eat your waffle....and have a great 2008!
