I love looking back at old pictures. Putting together this post let me re-live so many happy moments, including watching our little baby grow up before my eyes. We had a wonderful year, really getting into our groove as a family of three (four if you count the dog!). Here’s how our year unfolded…
In January, our year started with Christmas! Yes, Christmas. Harrison shared his stomach flu with our whole family for actual Christmas Day, so our year started with a make-up Christmas Day with my family…
And later that month, a huge snow storm followed which left us without power for several days…
In February, we celebrated Evie’s second birthday…
Harrison started walking, and got his first haircut!
March gave Nathan and me our first night away from Harrison since he was born with an Eric Church concert…
And me going to a reduced workload at work, so I could spend my Fridays with our little man…
April followed shortly with a very important first birthday party for Harrison
May was for Mother’s Day, and the completion of our three year project building out our patio, more lovingly referred to as “The Wall” around the Lane house…
In July, I started this blog! And it set off our summer of travel. We jet set off to Boston for our first family vacation as a family of three to celebrate the Fourth of July! (Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3
And August brought a trip to the beach with the whole Lane family
September brought our annual trip to the Black Hills to my parents’ cabin with our favorite cousin. (Part 1 || Part 2)
And only a few weeks later, my sister and I set off for Charleston for a girls’ trip. (Isle of Palms || Charleston)
Then fall arrived in October, and we got busy doing all the fall things. Fall festivaling…
And our first time trick-or-treating…
November rolled around, and Nathan and I got away for a few days in New York to celebrate our five year anniversary… (NYC Eat & Drink || NYC Play & Stay)
And now as December finishes up, we’ve been playing in the snow
And visiting Santa, and of course, celebrating Christmas with family…
But of all the huge, amazing memories that were made, I love the ones that are ordinary the best.
Countless trips for ice cream
Garden center trips with my biggest, little helper
Slow Saturday mornings, watching Elmo
And Saturday afternoons splashin’ and smokin’ with Evie & Harrison
More walks than I can count…
And trips to the park…
And watching these two cousins grow to love and adore each other.
Here’s to good things in 2020!
