... I feel like this is what I am constantly doing with the blog. I keep coming up with ideas for ways to keep the blog up to date, but I continually fail. I can give a list of reasons for why I have not updated this blog in about 5 months, but I am not going to. Instead, I am going to give myself some grace, and finally admit: I am not a good blogger. I want to be, but I'm not. Maybe someday, but not right now. In the meantime, I will give a quick 5 months in review. Here goes:
 |
| Leah got cuter. |
 |
| Bekah got older (11 months). |
 |
| Leah got to go to her first ODU basketball game. |
 |
| We had Howell Thanksgiving in Tennessee. |
 |
| Bekah found out she was going to be a big sister (and wasn't happy about it). |
 |
| The girls met Santa. |
 |
| We had our first Christmas in our new home (and Bekah's first Christmas ever!). |
 |
| Bekah liked all her new toys... |
 |
| ... Leah's toys, too |
 |
| Leah was able to keep some presents to herself. |
 |
| We went to South Carolina for Burgin Christmas (the grandkids in age order). |
 |
| The two youngest got to open Baby Jesus (a family tradition). |
 |
| Leah got a special present: Baby Kate, her cabbage patch doll. |
 |
| Bekah turned 1 year old! |
 |
| She had a special birthday party... |
 |
| ... loved her new baby doll... |
 |
| ... her tea set... |
 |
| ... her farm... |
 |
| ... and her pink cupcake. |
 |
| It snowed... |
 |
| ... And snowed. |
 |
| With all the snow, we had to bring the slide into the house |
 |
| Stephen made a snow angel. |
 |
| We had lots of fires in our fireplace. |
 |
| It snowed some more. |
 |
| We had to start baby proofing. |
 |
| Baby proofing failed. |
 |

 |
| Bekah touched a waterfall. |
 |
| Stephen tried to fall off of a waterfall. |
 |
| Bekah met her new best friend - Daniel Tiger. |
 |
| Mommy snuggled her Leah girl. |
 |
| Bekah learned how to climb up and slide down all by herself (while no one was looking). |
 |
| Bekah also learned how to drive. |
 |
| I reached the mid-point of my pregnancy (20 weeks). |
 |
| We got to see Baby #3. |
 |
| It finally got warm enough to go outside and play. |
 |
| The girls found some audible Easter eggs... |
 |
| ... and enjoyed a wagon ride at the beach. |
 |
| Spring has finally bloomed... |
 |
| ... and we are enjoying all the pretty trees... |
 |
| ... and beautiful flowers. |
