2013

Being that it's February, it's probably too late for a review of 2013.  But I'm doing it anyway.

Let's see... it felt like a year of celebrations.  Celebrating Grandma Sam and Grandpa Scott's wedding, celebrating my my Grandma's 90th birthday, celebrating my parent's 40th anniversary.  Yes, a lot of celebrating.

And while in 2012 it seemed as though I never could quite catch up (with a new baby to adjust to and all), 2013 felt much more relaxed.  It was as though being a mother of three finally "fit" me.  Yes that part was good.

Then there's homeschooling which was of course all new to us in the fall.  That has felt like an adventure right from the beginning.  Yes there were (and still are) some bumps and hurdles but for the most part, I would say that homeschooling is just plain fun.  Serious fun.  Something I grow to love more and more each day.  I think Grace and Jackson feel the same because they are begging to continue with it next year.  Which I suppose we probably will.  It does feel like a really good fit for our family.

The were challenges too... in fact the beginning of 2013 got off to a pretty rocky start with all of the sickness and never ending snow.  That was depressing.  There were other bumps too but I think the fact that the year ended on such a happy note makes anything else hard to dwell on.

So that's about it for the short and sweet version of my year.
