Well 2012 is now over and I'm sure I've said this before but I can't believe how quickly it all went. I'm hoping that 2013 doesn't go by so quickly but I have a feeling it will. 2012 had some ups and downs. Kait finished her Pharmacy degree and graduated in May and Kelly got married in October. We were happy to have Nate finally join the family (Maddie has been crushing on him since the beginning). In November we lost Jym's grandpa. He lived a good life but his passing was a sad occasion. I am thankful for all the memories I have of him as well as the memories of him and Maddie. We also lost Marco this year and I'm hoping that Marco and Grampa are keeping each other company and keeping an eye out for us.
2013 should have some good stuff in store for us though. Maddie will take her first trip to Disney next week and we will be joined by Geeps, Papa, Uncle Zack, Uncle Trav and Gramma. We're looking forward to having a good time and enjoying a little bit of nice weather after the cold we've been in over the last month or so.
Maddie will also start taking a parent child gymnastics class starting this month although she'll have to miss a class due to going to Disney. I figure it will give her the opportunity to meet new kids as well as run around and get some energy out while it's still pretty cold out. I'm hoping to take her swimming once a week as well to keep her comfortable in the water before summer gets here.
As I mentioned in my last post one of my resolutions was to do a project a week with Maddie. We did one the week before Christmas and she seemed to really enjoy it. Plus we bought a plastic drawer set today that holds all her art materials and she seemed very excited to see everything that went in there. Plus she loves to use her easel and once we get paint for it I'm sure there will be lots of painting.
Other than our trip to Disney we have a trip to NH for Easter, our normal trip to New England for 4th of July week (preceded by quick trip to Philly for Jym and Maddie's first trip on Amtrak), and then hopefully a fall trip to Providence with the Ferrier clan and then our end of the year trip to New England for Christmas.
I am hoping to blog a bit more about our experiences and actually post pictures here once in a while. We'll see what happens over the next few weeks. Till the next time!
