This is one of my favorite posts to do all year! I love looking back at what all we've done and how much Eli has grown.
Here are some of our highlights from the past year:
In January, we stayed around the house and recovered from holiday travels, but Eli did get some loving from all the grandparents when they came to see us.
In February, Wesley ran another half, setting a new PR.
We also explored a few other trails in south Alabama.
In March, I ran the Color Me Rad 5k with friends, which was tons of fun!
We also vacationed in south Florida with Ginny, Pops, and Aunt Katie for Spring Break! It was so much fun. I'm ready to go back.
In April, we celebrated Easter.
We also went to Auburn for A-Day and rolled the trees at Toomers one last time. Who knew we'd be back at the corner rolling as much as we were this football season! : )
In May, I apparently didn't blog very much, but the highlight of May for us is always the start of summer!
In June, we spent a week at Disney and took Nana and Puddin' along for the ride.
We also finally conquered potty training!
In July, we visited with Uncle Brian and Aunt Mollie.
We also went back to the beach.
We also made our annual trip to Texas and celebrated Maddie turning 2! While we were out there we visited the new George W. Bush presidential library.
(This picture makes me want to grow my hair out...also, look how skinny I used to be! *sigh*)
In August, I started my 7th year teaching, Wesley started his 5th year of teaching/coaching, and Eli started k-3!
My little man also turned 3 years old (where is the time going?!) and we celebrated with a water slide birthday party!
We also announced to all of our friends (our families already knew) that Eli would be a big brother in 2014!
In September, a new day started for Auburn football, and our weekends were quickly filled with trips to Jordan-Hare and cheering on our Tigers!
We also found out that we are having another precious boy, Landon Michael Taff!
In October, we went to the pumpkin patch with Eli's gf and bff, Abigail.
Nana also took Eli on his very first field trip - to a different "puntin patch" (as Eli called it).
Puddin' and I also flew to Texas for a quick (30 hours) trip. I got to meet my nephew, Aidan, for the first time!
Eli also dressed up like a firefighter for Halloween.
In November, we flew to New York for Uncle Brian's wedding.
We also went to the Peanut Festival!
Wesley unfortunately got the flu and we missed getting to see our families for Thanksgiving. We had our own little Thanksgiving at home, party of three.
Wesley was feeling somewhat better to try to make it to the Iron Bowl, and even though he relapsed a little, he said it was definitely worth seeing Auburn beat Bama!
In December, Eli participated in his first Christmas program at school. We're so proud of him. He learned several songs with motions, and was also a wiseman!
We also created some new Christmas traditions (like reindeer food) and also soaked up some great, quality time with family!
The Lord has been very good to us in 2013. We're anxious for what's to come in 2014 (especially meeting Landon!).
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
