Whew! I just finished typing this and can’t believe how crazy our lives are. Then again, I wouldn’t want it any other way. I love our crazy life and I look forward to seeing just how crazy it gets when we add a girl to the mix in May!
JANUARY

I called in sick to work one day just because it was a beautiful day and we went on a big adventure with Aunt Metta
