A brief look at our year: 2016
 |
| The year was quite a ride, with saying good bye to the old and facing new things together..as family <3 |
January 2016:
The year began with a house full of family.
My daughter and her husband moved in with their pets while they looked for a house to buy. She was about seven months pregnant, and they were anxious to be in their own place before the baby was born.

| 😊 |
Things were tight, but we managed to get along pretty well. I enjoyed seeing her belly grow week by week, and it was even better when she started working at the same school I am a para educator for.
February was the month we had her surprise baby shower.

She said she was not sure about it being a shower until she saw her mother in law's car in the lot. The theme was jungle animals and Calvin and Hobbes. It was a terrific shower and she received many nice gifts.

In March, we were boiling sap to make maple syrup. It was a short season due to to the mild weather. We made about four gallons this year, down from six last year.

March also welcomed the new addition to our family. A beautiful baby girl <3 Life will never be the same for my daughter, her husband, or any of us ;)
