Abby turned 2 years old on September 4, and started dance classes this year. She loves it! I was worried she would be too young, but she does so good!
We had a great summer swimming and riding our bikes together. Jeremy and I both got new bikes and bought a pull-behind trailer for the kids. They have fun sitting next to each other riding on the trails and around the neighborhood.
We also took a vacation to Hocking Hills, OH late June. We had a great time with Jeremy's family, where most of us stayed in a huge log cabin that we rented. So nice! Jason and Julie stayed in a nearby campground with their 6 kids. It was so nice to spend that time together! We made a day trip to the Columbus Zoo, which the kids loved!
Jeremy's youngest brother, Jonathan, and his wife, Kelly, got married July 9th. A beautiful wedding in Holland on a scorching hot day! At least it didn't rain! Welcome to our family, Kelly! We are so blessed to call you a sister now!
A more sad event was the passing of my grandmother, Rosemary Zaskiewicz. She was 85 and had been in poor health the past few years. In and out of the hospital on a regular basis, we all knew she wouldn't live much longer. On September 27th, she passed peacefully at St. Mary's Hospital after a lethal diagnosis of pneumonia. It gives me peace to know that she is in a better place and no longer suffering.
We recently put our house on the market for sale, as well. I'm feeling lead toward being a stay-at-home mom, and we can't afford to stay in our house on one income. It is bittersweet, since we built our house together. There are so many memories here, from staying here for the first time on our wedding night to bringing home both of our children to this house. All the meals cooked and shared, the laughs, the cries, the prayers, the birthday parties, Christmas parties, and the list goes on. Pray that we can sell quickly and move onto the newest chapter in our lives!
welcome back! love the pictures!
