I hardly ever post pictures or write about my everyday life so I thought I would make up for it today!
Enjoy a walk through our year in pictures.
We did a ton of work on the house this year!
The insulation monster tried to eat me!
Eric being the handyman. We had to take up all these boards in the attic to put down more insulation so we would be warmer this winter. It is working so far! It was worth the clogged up lungs and furry bodies.
I have painted almost every room in the house! Pardon my backside!
Eric's parents helped us a lot. Here, Doug is examining his work in our closet. It turned out great!
Which color do I choose? I picked one of these colors for one of our bedrooms.
Some great friends came to visit! Here I'm trying to ice skate with Jen and Lily.
It snowed & snowed!
I tried some gardening... from this to ....
THIS!!! I had no idea these things could get so big!!! And they got even bigger!!! I grew all kinds of peppers, broccoli, brussels sprouts, peas, green beans, lettuce, squash & zucchini. I planted a lot of herbs in pots as well. It was so much fun!
Also, I visited with friends in Beaufort, South Carolina.
I love live oaks!!! Beaufort is teeming with them!
Then, my sister got married!! :) It was a gorgeous wedding! Welcome to the family, Joey! :)
In November, we went to Arizona to visit a friend who has a ministry for refugees. We helped with an English camp that weekend. It was great fun! Thanks, Cherie!!!
We enjoyed the beauty of our area and discovered some great parks.
A great Christmas picture!
Sick at Christmas. :( We got this recliner and its match at a garage sale for $10 total! We need to do a bit of work on them as you can tell and they don't match our walls but they are comfy. Cricket especially likes them!
And... it snowed some more! We had a very, very white Christmas and in fact, it's snowing right now! :)
So this ends the photo tour. There are so many more pictures that I had to leave out! I will try to post more throughout the year instead of putting them all up on one day. There are two big things we couldn't really take pictures of that we want to celebrate!
1) We finally found a church that we are excited to join!
2) We've finished all the paperwork for adoption and are now just waiting for a phone call that says, "We have a baby for you!" So you could say we are "expecting" or that we are "paper pregnant." We are very excited!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and we wish you all a very Happy New Year!
