Other things of note:
Brisan started college at the age of fifteen. His grades? (A, A, B, A, A)
Kazz started working at a new, better paying job that he enjoys.
Becca got 2 raises in one year.
I finally got a hair cut that I like.
Vinze, Daxx and Kole began gymnastics.
We camped a lot and enjoyed the summer immensely.
Brian and I have hit the stage of life where we get to hang out more and enjoy time as a couple because the kids have hit the stage in their lives where they are happy to be by themselves at play more often....THAT is noteworthy...it was so nice to say, "Oh, hello there...do I know you?" after so many years of parenting small children. *sigh* It's so nice, and fun...as depicted in the Halloween Party photos.
Welcome 2013!
What have you got in store for us this year? :o)
