I went to look over my previous recaps and I was very saddened to see that my pictures are missing from the posts. I don't know what happened with that, and I'm very sad about it. For that reason there will be only a few here. And maybe this will be the motivation I need to start making a yearly book like one of my friends suggested a couple of years ago.
2015 started off with us at our first wedding of the kids our kids grew up with. It was a surreal experience for me to think that Ryan Seymour, a kid that we met in cub scouts some time around Auston's 2nd grade year was now getting married. I found myself reminiscing a lot about our own lives and thinking about how fast it has gone by. Now, 1 year later it seems like Ryan and Kendall have been married forever, and that's it's own sobering thought.
In January, Shea turned 6 years old and she thinks she's 16.... Trina and Damon got engaged, Auston gave a talk on Sri Lanka to Gregory's Cultural Geography class. And, Auston received is Eagle Scout Award from the Boy Scouts. That was such a relief to have that done after so many years of scouts!
And, blessing of all blessings- Princess Meara was born!
In February Gregory got his Driving Permit, and my friends Gwenn and Craig finalized the adoption of their twins completing their forever family :)
March rolled along with not much pomp or circumstance, just the usual busyness that comes from being part of a 6 pack...
April held Easter, our first experience in sharing Auston with his future in-laws, since he spent it in Louisiana with Sarah, and Field Day at Shea's school among other random busyness :)
In May Gregory turned 16, Sarah (Auston's girlfriend) graduated from High School (Homeschool), and Calley graduated from Baylor University.....
June took Mikey and I to Corpus with the MUD district for the Summer Conference.....
July held 4th of July with Michelle, Tahj, and Zeny, and a visit to the San Jacinto Monument before Auston headed off to Sri Lanka again, and I went to Chicago with Pampered Chef for Conference....
I August school started back up and the school/homeschool program I teach at moved to a new location. I'm teaching Preschool with Rachel again this year and loving it. William started Kindergarten at Aristoi Classical Academy with Shea, who is now in 1st grade. A quick look at Gregory's transcripts told us that he would be able to graduate a year early, so he began what would be his Senior year-- surprise!
In September Michael spent his birthday visiting my school and talking to our students. He's done this for several years now. I can't put into words how proud I am of this man. He even celebrated his birthday by bringing Rachel and I donuts! ;)
In October Auston returned home from his 3 month stay in Sri Lanka, celebrated his birthday, I got to steal a weekend away with my Liberty Classical friends, and Trina and Damon had their wedding....
November holds one of our favorite events of the year, the International Festival. Auston, of course, manned the Sri Lanka Booth ;) Michelle moved to Utah :(:(:( And we enjoyed Jayden's company for Thanksgiving :)
December wrapped up the year quickly. We did our annual hunt for our Christmas Tree, and......
AUSTON AND SARAH GOT ENGAGED!!!!
OMGosh the time has flown. It was just yesterday he was a lump in a blanket....
It's been one crazy year! I think I'll save my resolutions for tomorrow.... or the next day..... I'm going to go hang out with my kiddos....
Here's to 2015 and all it held, may you remember the good, and learn from the bad.
Here's to 2016, may you find joy in the smallest of places, and may God bless you abundantly!
