2013 was a good year for us. it was really a year of normal. i got my first teaching job. and my second. we moved to the city. jordan started rotations. we found a new church. there was a lot less going on. we stayed in on friday nights. we went on bike rides. we had a garden. i was able to visit friends in new york. we went to south carolina for the holidays. after this year of normalcy, we're excited for 2014. we are already planning our summer, now that jordan has a little time off.
we got to be a part of playing with out niece, evie in the snow for her first time. it was a blast to see how much she loved being outside in the snow. i think the last picture is hilarious, she makes the best faces. we would pour snow over her, and she was always unsure, but after this photo she had a huge smile on her face.
jordan and i went apple and pumpkin picking this past fall at tuttles orchard. we spent the entire afternoon on the orchard searching for good apples. it was nearing the end of the season so there wasn't much to pick from, the only good thing about it being so late was that we were able to pick pumpkins too! we had caramel apples, apple cider, pumpkin donuts and corn on the cob. this was our first time doing this and it's going to be a tradition to come.
kelly and i were in milwaukee for a wedding and had a few hours to kill, we didn't know where we were, but we found some pretty places. i love that kelly likes taking photos as much as i do. some of these may be cheesy, but just know that this is a very small number compared to what i started out with. i love that weeping willow.
