2021
IN REVIEW

January

  • Zoey Mae turned 4. We celebrated by taking the day off work and doing all the things Zoey wanted - bounce house, sledding, and a rice crispy cake
     

  • Lots of snuggles as we soaked up our last month as a family of three

February

  • On February 18th, Leo Christopher was born at 7:56 am coming into the world at 7lb 9oz and 20in long (big sister was 8lbs and 21 inches, so pretty similar!).

​

  • And, what's that they say, the rest is history. Thus we began our adventures through life as a family of four :)

March

  • Zoey stayed home with us for most of my maternity leave, which means March can really be described as beautiful chaos. There were a lot of tears and a lot of love as we all adjusted to life with a newborn. 

April

  • April felt like a bit of a blur. The honeymoon phase of newborn life wore off, and man was I just running on fumes.
     

  • We did our best to get outside as much as we could and soak up the last full month of my leave! 

May

  • Leo's first day of daycare. Zoey got to have a "girl's day" with me, including purple hair. 
     

  • For Mother's Day, we took our first camping trip with all of us at Father Hennepin. 
     

  • Helped grandma build a strawberry patch, and Zoey got to work!
     

  • May also brought our 6th anniversary - we headed down to the spot we got married and showed Zoey all the fun!

June

  • Summer fun including flying a kite, lots of outside time, and learning to roller blade, and lots of playing in the mud kitchen.
