Reflections

So...I was thinking this weekend that we have all officially been in Texas a year now. Damian has completed 2 trimesters and has begun the 3rd. I started my Etsy shop and took a job at the church. Clara has learned how to swim, nearly completed the 1st grade and is having an original poem of hers published. Oliver has grown immensely, potty trained and has moved into that little boy stage of always finding a rock or stick and is fascinated with dinosaurs. Isabel has gone from baby to toddler. We moved her bed to sleep with Oliver and Clara and she is weaned (yes, that's right!). Her language has blossomed and she loves Barney. As a family we have visited the Dallas Zoo, the Fort Worth Zoo, Dallas Botanical Gardens, The World Aquarium, The Museum of Nature and Science, Turner Falls Park, and Dinosaur Valley State Park. We enjoy swimming in our pool and taking walks to see the turtles and cranes and ducks. This is our past year in a nutshell.
