New Year Fun 2013

Well, here we are New Year's Eve 2013.  I'm joining in, over on  Diary of a Stay at Home Mom with the fun of seeing what this last year brought.

January

Happy New Year everyone!



February

(My first post for February was a Happy Homemaker Monday, so I went to the second post.)

As I sit here typing this at the kitchen table, the kids are in the living room watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates and playing something with babies and bad guys.




March

I've been sick with pneumonia so hopefully this week gets better.  It's not starting off on a high note...



April

(My first post for April was a Happy Homemaker Monday, so I went to the second post.)

I sure hope that everyone else had an amazing Easter weekend. 



May

I missed last week due to technical difficulties, but I'm back this week!  Hope every one had a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day.



June

I know I have been MIA for a while. I'm sorry, my laptop has died and I've been left with just my iPad.



July

YAY!!!! I finally got my laptop back from the shop!!!!!  Hopefully I'll be back to normal blogging in a week.



August

I know that I said I would be back with a post to finish my vacation, but honestly I've been sidetracked.



September

Today was Sydney's first day of preschool.  She's growing up so fast!



October

It's fall!!!  Fall is here!!!



November

This morning it was warm and beautiful.  Took Ben to the Dr. at 11:45 and it was 65 degrees.  We came out an hour later and it was 15 degrees cooler.  We grabbed ice cream, came home ate lunch and I went outside to get the Halloween decorations down and it was sleeting on me.



December

So much has been going on here with the holiday season and Ben having surgery.



I can't wait to see what the year 2014 will bring.  I mean besides our new addition to the family.

You know the best part is that I can remember every.single.photo that you posted and the posts. Can't believe how much your kids have grown, especially the littlest...goodness.

Wishing you a blessed New Year and all of the best, you certainly deserve it.

Love and hugs,

Potato Soup

During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it.
