Review of our 2013 & some of 2014

So, I've been MIA for the majority of 2013. I know. But it is what it is. There hasn't been much time with 3 of us being in school. I'm finally in my last year of college, and will be graduating this April! I haven't picked up my camera very much, and don't really expect to until after graduation. That's not to say that I haven't picked it up at all- I have here and there!

I decided to post my favorite pictures (of the little bit there are) from 2013:

A venture to the neighborhood park
Milo desperately wanted to do the monkey bars, so Daddy helped him
I believe this may be the *only* thing that Milo can't do on his own

Milo was laughing so hard he couldn't hold on even with his one hand!

Meanwhile, Xandra was practicing her balancing skills

And jumping skills

Milo helped Daddy clean up the yard

He gave up on the yard work & decided to fly his airplane instead

Xandra just played with her pet shop animals

I couldn't resist Xandra in this gorgeous dress & my new chair

I made Milo pose for a few also, though he really didn't want to 

1st Day of School!!

She still looks so small compared to the other kids! 

I'm thinking about using this for next year's Christmas cards… 

Christmas Eve & Christmas morning presents!
I *love* Xandra's expression on the bottom right picture- she was so darn excited!

Our tradition of pottery painting didn't happen until after Christmas this year.
But we ended up getting some great deals since we waited so long!
And I'll have a few more "homemade" ornaments to had to the tree next year!
This is one of my favorite traditions ever!

1st Days of 2014

I got these yesterday & couldn't resist posting them as well

So that brings us pretty much up-to-date.
The kids are doing really well in their schools:  Xandra is repeating 1st grade & is now at the top of her class! Milo is in pre-K & is already writing both his first & last names. He's also reading a few sight words & counting up a storm!

As I said earlier, I'm almost finished with college, and am currently looking for an externship/future job opportunity. I'm hoping to be adding a side-photography-business once I've graduated. I've had a number of sessions already, but it's far and few between due to my schedule. I'll post a few pictures from my favorite sessions soon!

I hope everyone has a wonderful new year!
