Three Years

It's been three years since I've blogged.  I was looking back at my old posts and I'm so glad I did it.  It brought back a lot of memories and details about trips that I had forgotten about it.  We are set to head out to a big vacation next week, so I thought it would be a good time to start again.

Here's a brief review of the past three years that were not blogged:

Ethan got his driver's license and bought Grandpa's truck.



Nikki started 8th Grade, July 2014



Ethan's first day of his junior year of high school, Aug. 2014



Nikki had surgery on her foot. It was a long and painful recovery, Feb. 2015



Ethan went to his junior prom, April 2015



Nikki graduated from 8th Grade, May 2015



We started fostering for Friends for Life Animal Rescue in the summer of 2015.  This is our first foster, Lux.

Senior night for baseball.  He had a fantastic year, earning all division first team and all section player of the year.  Then, the next day,  at his very last game...



He ended up having a partial tear in his UCL during this throw to first.  






But...he did graduate from high school!  May, 2016

Here's a link to the graduation video I made for him:
