What's new since my last post? 


1) We're living almost 600 miles south of where we were back in July of 2013. We are now proud North Carolinians. We moved to the Charlotte area this past June (2014)


2) We bought a house! (Which means we have no plans of leaving NC anytime soon - maybe never!)


3) Our house backs up to a forest & we installed a zipline for the kids:


4) Instead of sledding on snow, the kids have taken up some good ole' redneck sledding
                             (in the backyard, pictured with our wonderful friends; the Kieffer boys)

5) I failed & didn't mail our Christmas cards this year… So please don't feel like I snubbed anyone, I was just truly, very unexpectedly busy towards the end of last year and I couldn't get a good picture of the kids - I tried, but failed! :(



6) And SIX will be a good number to end on. There have been many more changes, but SIX is the biggest for 2015 for us…. Because by the end of the summer we will be a family of SIX - so happy to be expecting our fourth child! :)
