Tyler achieved big boy status when he turned 2 in October. His car seat got turned around, his crib went away, a toddler bed appeared, and he started drinking chocolate milk instead of plain milk. In the eyes if a 2-year-old, I'm sure it has been a pretty awesome year.
The highlight of Miss Sadie's year has been starting preschool. She LOVES school and is learning so much, like what intestines are and how to spell yellow. I am amazed at everything she knows.
Adam started first grade in the fall and spends all day at school now. He is at the top of his class in reading and math, and I couldn't be more proud. If I asked him what the highlight of his year was, I'm sure school wouldn't be at the top, but it is pretty noteworthy to me. He has come a long way.
Cory started the year off by buying an airplane, and he has had a permanent smile on his face ever since. Need I say more?
As for me, I have enjoyed health and happiness and have been able to watch my family learn and grow. As icing on the cake, I accomplished some personal goals along the way...running a marathon in under 4 hours, running my first ultra, and running the biggest marathon in the world. And although the daily routine hasn't always been easy and I've had plenty of challenges, tantrums, and fights to break up along the way, I will look back on the year with many fond memories.
