- jb and I celebrated a dozen years together.
- Two of the families we are closest with moved away. It's even harder to say goodbye to friends when your children are also friends.
- The whole family traveled to Atlanta so that I could attend and speak at Salon LGBTQ.
- I started going to dinner regularly with a group of friends who are writers (and awesome) and it has been so good for me - not to mention a blast.
- Aunt Erin visited (twice!)
- Our family had our first tent camping adventure. The tent leaked on the second night, sending us scrambling home in the dark - but that means I got a new fancy tent for Christmas ;)
- The family and I went to Atlantic City, New Jersey as part of a social media effort to draw attention to the rebuilding post-Hurricane Sandy.
- My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and began treatments.
- Zoe took her first steps.
- Zoe turned one, Leo turned three and we celebrated with an awesome double birthday party.
- Leo saw his first live musical, The Lion King.
- Ages two and half through three and a half have presented some challenging times and I was still getting my sea-legs as a mother of two throughout the year, but I can feel things stabilizing a bit.
- We almost moved. But didn't. Despite this being kind of a non-item since it didn't end up happening it was a big part of our mind space this year.
- Leo and Zoe got bunk beds and started going to sleep in their own rooms (thought they are both magically in our bed in the morning.
- Leo took a gymnastics class - his first non-parent-participation class and rocked it.
- We spent a full month in Pittsburgh with my parents and siblings.
I don't know what to expect of the coming year. I have many hopes for it and expect some difficult times. I'm asking for grace and peace to walk through as best I can.
