We began the year on January 1st with a cranky and brief after-midnight photo, one that may have interrupted an early slumber on the couch.
In February, our little boy celebrated his first birthday!
During the month of March I attended my very first Comic Con with Justin, Athena, and James. We enjoyed the beautiful sunshine with lots of outside play.
April brought us Simon's 2nd Easter and a more successful visit to see the Easter Bunny at Fairytale Town. Pappy and Uncle Ben joined us, which made the holiday extra special.
Simon was enrolled in his very first swim lessons in May, I turned 29 and celebrated a relaxing Mother's Day, and Eric and I both left Simon overnight for the first time... separately! One night for me chaperoning the 8th grade field trip in Yosemite, 3 nights for Eric spent at KublaCon in the Bay Area with the guys.
In June the regular school year ended and summer school began, and we had a fun Father's Day with both of our dads. Simon of course played, played, played.
When summer school ended, July included many adventures such as Independence Day, our FREE TRIP to the Aulani Disney Resort in Oahu that we won (joined by Jen and Bliss because Eric was unable to come due to work), and a visit to the California State Fair.
We took a family camping trip to Bucks Lake in August with all of our friends. I went back to work mid-month to start the new school year. Great Aunt Sami traveled to Lake Tahoe for a wedding so we drove up for a visit. Simon also turned 18 months old and got his first haircut!
September was a busy month full of many birthday parties, including Uncle Ben's 9th birthday at Roller King. Simon visited the dentist for the first time and was an all-star patient!
Our family was even busier during October celebrating Eric's 29th birthday, our 4th wedding anniversary, the wedding of my wonderful friends Josh and Rob and Caitlin's visit, and Halloween. Oh, and Courage turned 4 years old!
Things calmed down in November and we had a nice Thanksgiving celebration at Cho-Cho's house.
The holidays came and went in a flash this month in December. We saw Santa, watched the Festival of Lights Parade in Auburn, and continued our Christmas traditions as a family.
Oh yeah, and Eric's been growing a beard.
2014 has been one crazy ride full of many wonderful memories and experiences. As we close out the year tonight, I am reminded of the adventures that await us on the horizon: Simon turning TWO, Eric and me turning THIRTY, celebrating FIVE years of marriage, and so much more. I hope to make as solid of an effort as possible to be here on this blog documenting as much happiness and love as time will allow me. I hope that you decide to stop by to share in this journey, too.
See you soon, 2015!
