2016 was another year of big changes for our family.
matt and i were joking that now that we are done having kids, and have a plan to not move for at least 5 years, life might seem boring to us. up until now, every year of our marriage has brought at least 1 move or 1 baby, or both! but, honestly, i don't think we will be bored.. we are excited to settle in. plus, i have learned that when you have kids, nothing stays the same for very long. (which i have mixed feelings about!)
some of the more noteworthy things that 2016 brought were:
chet turned 6, holden turned 4, and our baby turned ONE.
matt gave up his job with his brother's company and made the big move back to work for PCL.
matt's title is now project engineer for the LA district of PCL, currently working on a new professional soccer arena in LA.
we moved to pasadena, CALIFORNIA! - new home, new friends, new school.. new everything!
we bought a new truck - we have been in saving mode for so long and haven't made a big purchase like that in forever!
we started up an online shop, selling felt letterboards.
although our transition began before, 2016 was our first full year out of the church.
chet started first grade - FULL TIME, he has learned how to read, and is right in the thick of the awkward stage of missing teeth!
holden learned how to swim this year (that's a big deal in this family!), has learned all his letters, and has really matured into a little boy that is far more ready to head off to school then i am willing to admit.
and taddy.. well, he has learned to sit, eat, crawl, stand, and say a few words (you know, all the baby milestones!) but has somehow managed to miss learning how to snuggle..
see?! it's been a big year.
we are excited to see what 2017 brings!
