January--I went to North Carolina to see my sister and her new baby. Her husband managed to mostly avoid me other than grilling us a bird. He also took a few photos of the two of us in our new skinny jeans from Nordstrom Rack.
February---The annual IHOP for Valentine's day eating experience. My kids love this tradition. I love it too, and always feel very pretty at truck stops early on Saturday mornings.

April-- I managed to capture a darling photo of my children in their Easter attire. Hmm..not so much.
May--Dylan turned two, it has taken about 6 months for the terribleness to surface, but it has now and she can by quite tyrannical, particularly when choosing her daily attire.

still extremely carsick) return to girls camp. I celebrated my birthday there, wearing a unflattering poncho and getting the giggles during a song that was supposed to be serious.
