Why hello there neglected blog

Sooo...this is awkward! I had big plans to start a new blog that documented life after adoption...but then I got smacked in the head with the realization that life after adoption was the exact same thing as life as a mother of three! For those of you with fewer kids (or better time management skills) maybe you won't understand how incredibly CRAZY life can get with my oh so adorable monsters!  There wasn't a lot of time for blogging, and we've had a wild year but things have settled down considerably so I'm going to once again try my luck at a 30 day blog challenge! For anyone keeping score at home, I failed miserably last time, but I'm going to do my best. :)

So let's see if I can sum up what's been going on since the last time I posted back in April...

* My hubby finished school! He's the proud owner of an MBA now! Whoo hoo!

* We almost sold our house! It was listed and we had a buyer but her funding fell through right before closing so we're staying put for the time being.

* My sweet little girl learned how to walk!!! That was an exciting milestone for us, so proud of you, beautiful!

* I turned the big 3-0 

* McKenzie celebrated one year home! She's changed so much in such a short time. I'll attach some pics of her celebrating with her one year home presents.

*  Jack just turned four years old today! He had a little party a week ago but today is his actual birthday. :)

That's all the big stuff. There were some other little things, special family memories made, bumps along the road of life but overall I couldn't have asked or a better year. I have the love of my life, three incredible kids, and I'm just...happy. :) I hope everyone else has had a great 2013 too!
