Year in Review Part 2

Part 1 is on Facebook, but since some of you are not, I thought I'd add some more year-reviewing here.

January

The Captain got lots of practice being a good helper for when Mommy got huge and pregnant and for after with the new baby.

February

Mommy and Daddy took a break to the summer in Brazil, while The Captain chilled with Grandma and his cousins and aunt and uncle in Kentucky.

March

I braved travel alone, pregnant, with a toddler for a wedding.  It was cold.  And all The Captain wanted to do was walk around in the cold.  Side note: this is one of the last times he would consent to wearing a vest.

It was also The Captain's birthday.

April

In April The Captain's captain bed arrived (our present to him).

And he learned to die Easter eggs.

May

We planted our garden and got lots and lots of cucumbers this year.  Also, Mommy got a flower garden.  Happy Mommy.

June

Father's Day!

July

Lots of this:

which led to lots of this:

August

Look how handy all that training was now that I'm ready to pop.

This picture was taken a few days after my due date, but Joy was already 2 weeks old.

September

Not to be deterred by recovery time, we spent Labor Day in Williamsburg.  

Because I started teaching seminary again right after.  Any guesses on the book of scripture we're studying this year?

October

Halloween usually gets the spotlight, but we also have our anniversary in October, and Johnny's parents came to visit, so we got to go out.  And Joy was blessed, and we went to Monticello, where The Captain decided he'd had enough.

November

Something about Jefferson must have sunk in because I walked in the basement one day to find The Captain reading 3 books at once (Jefferson would read up to 6).  They are marked with the arrows.

December

Miss Joy is 4 months old.  Super cute.  Probably one of my favorite stages.  She rolls, she giggles, she smiles, and she likes being naked.  She really is our little Joy.  (She's much smaller than The Captain at that age.)
