Year in Review: 2013

Another year has come and gone right before our eyes.  And I don't think time is going to slow down anytime soon.  Here is a recap of our family's year:

January:  I was working nights and unable to keep up with Adam's work schedule and finding a baby-sitter for Harper over nights, so I switched my status at work to PRN.  Adam celebrated his 34th Birthday.

February: We found out the gender of baby #2 at our Gender Reveal Party.

March: I accepted a full-time day position on the Med/Surg floor at the hospital

April: Adam advanced to deputy #5 at work.  We had a 3-D ultrasound.

May: My in-laws celebrated 35 years of marriage! (Anniversary was actually in April, but the party was in May.)  Harper finished her first year of preschool.  We took a trip to the Mall of American with Harper before the baby came.  (See May Catch Up)

June: Our 2nd Daughter, Elliet Elizabeth Nerlien was born!!!!!!!!!  Harper played Blast Ball.

July: Adam took a trip to Vegas with some friends from Clarion.

August: We went to the State Fair with a group of friends and attended the Toby Keith Concert.  Adam and Harper also spend many, many days at the swimming pool while mommy and Elliet rested at home.

September: Harper started 4-year old preschool.    Harper turned FOUR and had a princess birthday party.  Harper also started dance - ballet and tap.  Harper went to the dentist for the first time.

October: Harper and Elliet went trick-or-treating.

November: This was the worst month.EVER.  Adam's grandmother passed away (his last living grandparent).  We found out that my Grandpa has Stage 4 Lung Cancer.  Sad, sad month for everybody.

December: We cut down a Christmas Tree again.  Santa visited the girls.  Brooke turned 30!

Our family is very blessed.  We are looking forward to all the great things 2014 has to offer: Elliet's 1st Birthday, Harper's dance recital, my brother's wedding, our nieces graduation, and Harper starting Kindergarten.

I have lots of blogging to catch up - come back and visit soon.  Thanks for keeping up with us in 2013!

Lots of Love,

Adam, Brooke, Harper, & Elliet
