What a mess of disorganized photos!!  This is taking it way back, Christmas 2011.  We lived in the “old house” and were packed in the van to look at Christmas lights. 

We had the longest winter I can remember this past year.  It still hasn’t warmed up to a proper summer yet.  It’s not looking good since school starts in a week.  We purchased a summer pass to the swimming area at the lake and have only used it twice!  Up until late May it was still freezing temps during the day!  We’ve had so much rain this summer, the basement has been leaking water since early June.  Two spots have stopped but one is still trickling in.

Christmas 2012 in the new house.  We hosted Gramma and Grampa for Christmas Eve and then drove to Fargo for Christmas day dinner, and the next day a major Costco trip.  

Summer 2013 view from the back deck of the hayfield.  We just started the second cutting of the year.  Last year’s only cutting was fewer bales than our first this year.

Halloween 2012, we returned to the old ‘hood to trick or treat one last time!  If you look really closely at the red noses you can see winter started in October this year!

Not sure when this was taken but I love Ella’s face in it!

Summer 2013- rescuing toads and snakes from the window well is a full-time job!
