This has been a crazy year for us. Definitely the most emotional year we've ever had. Here's a re-cap of our year, the good, the bad and everything in between.
January - We started off 2015 with a little New Year's party at our house. We chose to do this because it was just easier with the kids. We had a blast. It was a great way to bring in the new year.
After the party, we had a long weekend in the Poconos with a friend. We were able to relax and start our year off great.
Mid-January is my nephew's birthday. He turned 13. I can't believe that this kid is 13. I remember when he was born, at just 26 weeks, weighing less than 2lbs. And now he is a teenager.
This picture was taken at the end of January when we decided to have a date night. We dropped the kids off at my moms and went to dinner and a movie. Date nights aren't typically noteworthy but this was the day we found out we were pregnant with Colson. When the waitress asked if we were celebrating anything, it took everything I had to not scream 'a new baby!'
February - was cruise month! Our kids were the best little travelers! We were so worried that the drive to Florida would be bad but the kids did so well. And they did so well on the cruise. Ashlyn still talks about the big boat we were on. It was so fun to be able to take the kids to St. Thomas where we had our honeymoon.
Bryan had his 18 month check up this month. 27lbs and 33.5 inches of adorable right there.
April - We celebrated Easter with my family as we always do.
April 9, 2015 is when we lost our little baby boy, Colson Alan, at 16 weeks. I was able to deliver him, hold him and say goodbye to him, something many women never get to do when they lose a baby.
May was a busy month. We started off with a Garth Brooks concert. My husband has always wanted to see Garth Brooks in concert so when he came out of retirement, I knew we had to go. It was an amazing concert, the best we have ever been to and I'm so glad we got to go. It was a fun time after a lot of sadness in the previous month.
We celebrated Mother's Day at the place where my husband and I met. We got to watch our kids swing on the very same swings that we used when we were kids.
We bought a house!
We ended the month with a Jason Aldean concert. I'm not a fan of his but we still had a good time.
June - my birthday month! I celebrated my birthday with my family and then also with my person. Our birthdays are only 10 days apart so we had to throw ourselves a party. With the year we both had, we deserved it!
We worked on the house more, celebrated Father's Day and ended our month with a trip to Lake Champlain.
I'll save the last half of the year for another post.

The end of February was when we decided to announce our pregnancy. We waited until 10 weeks to announce and had the cutest little announcement.
March - Baby bump photos began and we got to see our little squish for the first time. We had no idea what would happen in the coming weeks.
