As this year comes to a close I've found myself doing a lot of reflecting. The beginning of the year flew by while I juggled four little one's at home and clung onto the little bit of sanity I had. I enjoyed being at home with the children all day and not having to go anywhere. We soaked up those newborn months as much as we could and Finley was well loved.
As the snow started melting we spent a lot more time outside enjoying the fresh air. We would go for walks daily and play in the little ponds and streams. We loved exploring the paths around our neighborhood and making memories together.
In the Summer months Camilla learned how to ride a two wheeler. Mike and I took in a game of soccer during FIFA. We spent a lot of time at the legislature cooling off in the pools. The littles also went for their first boat ride. Just before the cool weather hit we squeezed in a hike and overnight camping trip out West.
In the Fall Camilla started grade 1. It was a huge adjustment for me! The boys and I would drop her off and pick her up each day and I longed for the days where we were all home together. It was also a nice change in that the boys grew closer together and the fighting decreased. The rest of the year was a blur as we packed, moved, unpacked and organized. We have experienced heartache, loneliness, trials, friendship, and joy. Through it all I am so grateful for the Gospel and a loving Heavenly Father who knows better than we do sometimes.
Onward to 2016!
