Catching up
I thought maybe a list of highlighted events over the last 6 months would be interesting and a great way to link the pages together once I write a post of each event... here's to hoping I accomplish that.
In no certain order here are 25+ highlights...
We had our annual Family photo taken, as well as our individual photos (we only take those every other year).
My cousin Julie and my cousin Mindi each welcomed a baby girl into their families.
Enjoyed seeing and hugging my great nephew.
While in Ohio attended a fantastic 50th birthday party for a friend.
Met some new people here in Texas, that I now call friends.
My teenagers did an internship and learned all about Sugar Land Family Church.
We celebrated 7 of our 11 birthdays.
Learned to make pumpkin rolls.
Welcomed not 1 but 2 dogs into our family.
Spent a week in Galveston at my friends beach house.
Had multiple visitors from Ohio.
Went on a cruise with my friend of 27 years.
Realized we have fruit baring grape vines, dew berry tree, and a fig tree in our yard.
Successfully made homemade fig jam.
Put one of our houses on the market to sell, it our first time selling a house.
Kids experienced riding in boat for the first time.
Squeezed almost 2 months of quality time with my uncle into that 6 month blogging gap.
Crocheted a beautiful colorful, baby blanket for my cousin Julie's baby.
The Palladium offered 6 weeks of free movies for kids on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Was invited to an AWESOME water park, Splashway.
Gave our trampoline a make over.
I sewed my first couple bow ties, and learned how to tie them.
Kids had a couple shaving cream adventures and squishy baff encounters.
Enjoyed a wonderful Anniversary surprise.
Discovered Giada and Ina cooking shows. I have created delicious meals they featured.
Leo got a big boy bed.
Jon, Jacob, and my cousin Christopher left here for an all guys weekend (aka torture session).
Achieved a small weight loss goal.
Shared in creating some homemade gifts, with my friend Erica.
My friend drew me, my very first caricature.
And just this week, I made my very first Homecoming Mum!!!
That just touches on some of the awesome experiences of our large family adventures over the last 6 months.
Which of the above would you be interested in hearing more details?
