January...
...was a big month! We welcomed Bryce Frederick to the family on January 6.
In February...
...we celebrated Brennan turning 3!
...and shared Valentine's Day snuggles.
In March...
...Lala came to visit and met Bryce for the first time.
...and we enjoyed celebrating Easter.
In April...
...the boys, Val and I went to visit a friend in Georgia!
...we also had a visit from Papaw and he got to meet Bryce.
...and began getting good use out of our zoo membership.
In May...
...we took a day trip up to Boston.
...celebrated my first Mother's Day as a momma of two!
...and enjoyed the warmer weather by spending more time outside.
June was the month when...
...Brennan finished his first year of preschool.
...we took a little trip up to Vermont!
...and celebrated Father's Day!
In July...
...we let Brennan use a sparkler on the 4th of July.
...finally got a family picture taken as a family of 4.
...and Brennan started using the climbing wall in the basement.
In August...
...we enjoyed several picnics in downtown Mystic.
...and had a fun day in Newport, RI.
September...
....started with Brennan's first day of 3-year-old preschool.
...and ended with a fun family vacation to Daytona Beach (even though these two pics were technically taken in October) where my parents got to meet Bryce.
October brought some of my favorite pictures of the year...
...we enjoyed pumpkins and fall foliage.
...the boys had their first tubby together and got some cute matching pjs!
...and I was able to capture two of my favorite pictures of the entire year!
November was spent giving thanks for...
...another visit from Papaw.
...Brennan's 2nd place finish at the AWANA Grand Prix!
...praising God no one was hurt when I hit a deer with my car.
December...
...was all about seeing the magic of Christmas through the eyes of a three year old.
...and celebrating our Savior's birth.
I hope you had as much fun looking back at these pictures as I did. What fantastic memories. I am looking forward to the new year. We will kick it off with a first birthday celebration and a trip to Disney. I don't know what else is in store for 2014, but I'm thankful God has it all planned out for us.
For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. -Jeremiah 29:11
