We had a small glimpse of spring in February, Brad traveled, Melody had surgery, we had a death in the family, and carline continued!
On January 2nd, we had the unthinkable happen…it snowed! And it was a fairly heavy, wet snow. Now the surprisingly part is that on January 1st, it was in the 70s, and we were having tornados. Alabama weather is purely insane.
Christmas is always so much fun. It can be so magical to see it all through Melody’s eyes. Now it can also be super stressful. This year I made sure to finish my Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving. Most was done before November. We also cut back on our traveling this year because we wanted some time at home because Brad’s work travel will pick by up in 2022. But we kept busy, and I decided to just throw all of the fun in one post!
As I mentioned earlier this week, December was a month of survival. It was also a really fun and memorable month too. We saw a lot of family, spent time with a lot of friends, experienced Melody’s first ER trip, and spent a lot of time with each other.
We had what was probably our most laid back New Year’s Eve that we have had in quite some time. Alabama was playing football, and we just made the most of spending the day at home relaxing. We did add a few bits of fun in the mix too!
We did the walking nights of Galaxy of Lights back in November. We went on a Sunday, and I actually found it less crowded than last year’s visit. They did change up the trails some this year, but it was still really pretty, and the kids seemed to really enjoy it. I didn’t take as many pictures as I have in the past, but here are some.
If my lack of blogging in November didn’t make this obvious, November was a busy month. Dance, gymnastics, school, Christmas decorating, baking, Thanksgiving, and more!
We had such a fun Halloween this year. We kind of went all out in the costumes this year which required a lot of work from me, but Melody loved it. So I supposed the work was worth it.
So I have definitely been MIA the last few weeks (and basically the last two months). Things have been busy around here it seems like. And I just have not had the time to really sit down and concentrate as much as I would like to on my blog. I hope to make up for that over the next month or so. I have a lot of content planned including all about the holidays and more! But let’s wrap up October. We had a busy month with Brad being back home (for the most part). Check it out below!
September was a full month full of a lot of carlines, football, and family fun!
This summer we made a bucket list. I recently shared how much we accomplished on that bucket list. One of those things was visiting the Cook Museum in Decatur. So the week before school started, we made our way over there to see what it was about.
July was a very busy month to end our summer. We tried to slow down and stay in town, but we also tried to make the most of our last month before Melody starts elementary school in August (this week, actually!).
This year we celebrated July 4th by spending the day at my parents’ pool and seeing family we haven’t seen since Christmas 2019!
May is literally our busiest month of the year! We have anniversaries, birthdays, recitals, graduations, vacations, and holidays! Whew, I am exhausted just thinking about all that we did!
March was busy! It marked one year since the COVID Pandemic started, so there were a lot of mixed emotions during this month. But we kept busy, traveled, and had fun!
February was full of snow, sun, warmth, ice, dance pictures, visits with Nana and Grandpa, kitchen remodel, and more!
December was a busy month full of a lot of family, a lot of traveling, and a lot of celebrating!
October was a month full of a lot of fun! We traveled, we visited with grandparents, the weather got cooler, and we celebrated Halloween!
