Welcome 2013

So today starts a new day, new month and a new year.  2012 brought us new challenges, new friends, and a lot of growing up.

Mason has developed well throughout the year.  He began crawling and doing that very fast.  He really has developed his personality and seems to be hungry all of the time and smiles a lot.  He can give you a high five and I believe even can say mama in these last few days.  In 2013, we expect him to walk in the coming weeks, making him the smallest walking kid in the area.  He is still rather small compared to others his age, but we will take him large or small.

Jay turned four this past year and surprises us everyday with what he says.  He seems fairly smart and ready to start school this coming August.  I can't believe we will have a kindergartner.  He is excited and tells everyone he will be going to Bain School next year.  We will see come August how excited he will be when the time comes.  He continues to love superheroes, and has a new found love of Ninja Turtles.  It's crazy how all of the old toys from when Garrett and I were younger are now coming back around and Garrett can explain what all of them are.

As for Garrett and I, we continue to work at the same places that we have worked since we have been married.  Garrett is an architect and I'm a math teacher.  This month Garrett will be ordained as a Deacon on January 13th at our church.  This past year I ran in my first 5k, running a total of 3 in call.  My hope is to continue that do more this year.  Other than that, we do not know what 2013 will bring, but we do know there will be excitement, surprises, heartbreak, and fun with whatever is to come.

Happy New Year!!
