Then and Now!!
Matthew Laurence
Then January 2013 4 years old
Matthew has changed and grown so much this year!! He started school and has really excelled!! He is reading and writing very well. He has a natural flare for Math, and has been moved up to the 1st grade curriculum. His favorite color is still blue, and he still loves to spend his time out side! His best friends are Lilly and Jonas. He loves going to his Enrichment classes at the Lori Brock Museum, and is looking forward to starting Karate!
Now December 2013 5 years old
Lilly Anne
Then January 2013 2 years old
Lilly has grown like a weed this year! She has gotten so tall, and is becoming such a little lady! She is still sneaky and sassy, and a major daddy's girl!! Her favorite color is still pink, she LOVES My Little Ponies, and riding her new pink tricycle! She loves to be outside and delights in tormenting her older brother. She is very artistic and likes to figure things out for herself. She's my go to girl if I want something done! I'm hoping to enroll her in dance or some other outlet for her energy!
Now December 2013 3 years old
Jackson Levi
Then December 2012 5 months gestation
Probably the biggest change for our family in 2013 has been the addition of our little Jackson! Jack Attack, from the beginning he was a mild tempered, good sleeping, wonderful baby! While he is still a wonderful baby he is developing quite a stubborn streak! He is crawling and walking around the furniture. He has 4 teeth so far and at his last Dr visit he weighed nearly 20 lbs!! He has also learned his first word, MOM which he screams at the top of his lungs when he wakes up in the middle of the night! He is growing and changing so much!! I can't wait to see what 2014 has in store for him!!
Now December 2013 8 months old
2013 was a wonderful year filled with love and bounty for our family! We are so thankful for all that we have and hope that 2014 will be even more wonderful for our family!!
