It's been awhile...

Of course, as always, I had the best of intentions for keeping up with my December Daily for 2012, I even set up the album using a Project Life format and discussed how the simplicity of that system would keep me on track.  I wasn't completely wrong (and want to think about trying the same system for this year) and I am further along on the album than this blog would suggested, but there were a few changes for our family that I didn't quite anticipate happening so quickly.  So THAT, instead of lack of effort is what caused me to fall behind.  

I have been wanting to move from our condo since my oldest daughter's first birthday to provide her with a bit more outdoor space like I had while I was growing up.  Although we really did love our community and our home, we really wanted to have a bit more space.  And in all honesty commuting an hour one way, with two children in tow was not always a pleasant experience!  Luckily, in December we received an offer on our place and found the perfect home to move to as well.  Everything seemed to move so quickly and yet very slowly at the same time.  We moved in February, just in time for Avery's first birthday party (I'll have to blog about that later), but truly we are still settling in and unpacking.  We are really enjoying the new house, especially on nights when the four of us can run and be silly in our backyard...something I have been dreaming of for some time!  So, now that summer is here and we have a bit more time to dedicate to settling in, I hope to do better at continuing to chronicle our adventures as a family of 4 and take note of what seems like the constant growth of our two amazing girls!

Last Christmas in our old home!
