It's been a while...

I haven't documented or even attempted to document anything in the past several months. I have though taken lots of pictures...to bad that doesn't count when I want to look back and see what we've been doing. Or the small things Avery has been doing that make my heart melt. So I am going to try and be better...TRY is the key word. I want to be able to tell her funny stories one day and I won't remember them simply by remembering. I no longer have a memory that spans more than an hour. Thanks pregnancy brain.

 SO lets get caught up. Avery has a lot of new things going on

• Three teeth
• Eating us out of our home. This girl can put back some serious food.
• Allergies are newbie. She is now taking medicine once a day
• We've been battling colds off and on for a month now.
• Crawling and cruising everywhere
• Walking behind a toy that you push
• DRAMA QUEEN!!!
• Starting to hate getting her diaper changed
• Her first birthday is a month and 2 days away... :-(
• First Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas have passed. No more first holidays anymore. We've done them all now.
• Switched to 2 longer naps a day. Thankfully.

I wanted to write it out what my goals where for 2014. I don't really care for the word resolution because well I just don't like it. Makes me think you make it just to break it. Because how many people really stick with the  resolutions they make? Not many. So mine are goals.

1. Read God's word every day
2. Cook more for my family
3. Less daily surfing of social media and other websites
4. More quality time with my family
5. Get to moving. Do something physical daily. Doesn't have to be much just something.
6. Date night every 2 weeks. I need this something fierce.
7. The other 2 weeks we aren't doing date night we are going to have game night. Which means me and A will play games while Avery sleeps or plays in the floor. We are real wild around here.
8. Read & pray with my husband daily.

Those are some of my goals for 2014!! :) Here are a few pictures from Christmas.
