What a difference a year can make.

Oh, you poor little neglected blog of mine, I'm so sorry I left you for so long! Things got a little crazy last year, but now we're back and ready for action!

So many things happened in 2014, but here are some of the highlights:

Ella and Madeline turned 2 and Willow turned 5 this year. Where did my babies go?!

I started my own children's accessories business called Willow's Whimsies.  I make bows, headbands, chunky necklaces and other fun accessories for little girls. It's become a fun little family adventure with the girls sometimes joining in to help.

The girls got to take their little cousin Amelia on her first trip to Disney World for her birthday. There's nothing like making magical memories with family.

Willow graduated from both speech and occupational therapy! She's now on level with her peers for speech, and she's gained control of many of her PDD-NOS and SPD "quirks". She still has some work to do on her social skills, but she's come so far!

To celebrate Willow's "graduation" we went on a mini vacation to St. Augustine, which now tops our list of favorite places. The girls had so much fun exploring the streets of the oldest city in the US, visiting the Fountain of Youth, and becoming Jr. Rangers at the Castillo.

We moved into a new place, but it didn't last long. We're moving again in March to a bigger house in a neighborhood with multiple parks and a splash pad for the kids! It's so much nicer and more child friendly then our current condo.

Zach got a new job with a raise, it'll be a great help to our growing family...

We're expecting a new little person in July. A sweet baby girl, we can't wait to meet you Holland Claire!
