Going Out With A Bang

Most of this week was spent sitting next to my big boy who is learning to use the potty.

Lets just say its going to be a very long process but we're very proud of him. Hes growing up so fast! New Years Eve this year was pretty fun. We headed over to the Burnetts for dinner and football then later everyone headed over to our house to play games and ring in the new year. Ashlee brought stuff to make Italian Soda and I had way too many of those.

They're addictive! I can't believe we all made it to midnight. I don't know how many more years we're going to be able to do that. It seems to get harder every year. Probably because our kids have a thing against sleeping in. They think that making it to 7 is sleeping in. Its sick really. This last year really was amazing and quite an adventure. Cody is over halfway done with med school and he turned 30!

We moved to Scranton.

We got to spend lots of time with our friends and got to see our families.

Cody got to go to AZ for the first time in over 2 years.

We went on a lot of fun trips:
Washington DC in April

Allentown in June

East Hampton, NY in June

Palmyra, NY in July

Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA in August

Sleepy Hollow, NY in October

Arizona in November

I ran my first marathon.

Rilyn starting going to a big kid school.

Shes getting so grown up. She loves to pick out her own clothes and she has quite the fashion sense. Casen gets bigger every day.

He can run, jump, climb, talk, and throw a massive fit. I hope that this next year is just as great as the last and can not wait for the adventures that lay ahead of us. There are a few things that we know we can look forward to this year: Cody starting 4th year!! Cody applying to residency and interviewing. The kids and I spending our last year in Scranton (this is a sad thing because we will really miss our friends and will really, really miss not living with Cody for the months he'll be gone but we're excited to spend a few months in AZ). Ashley running another marathon in Feb. Rilyn starting Kindergarten. And many more things to come. Happy New Year everyone!
