Phew, where did 2016 go???
When I think back to this past year, there were lots of super fun things we did along with big trips and exciting travels. But really most of the year was made up of regular old boring days. And you know what? Those are the days I love most as they are the ones that are truly making up our lives and forming my children.

Here's a recap of 2016:
January
This little man started giving us smiles and we could not (still can't!) get enough of them.

February
To escape the winter blahs, we headed south to Morocco for a few days of warmth and sun.
On the 19th, this sweet little girl turned 3!
March
For the first time in several years, we celebrated Easter at home in London.
April
We traded London life for island life with a week on the Spanish island of Mallorca.

We returned home and enjoyed the splendid London weather.
September
The girls kicked off a new school year.
On September 7, my beautiful Olivia turned 6.
October
Superheroes took over our house for Halloween.
On the 22nd, my little man turn 1. Oh my how he has made our family so much better!
We wrapped up the month in Dubai.
November
We celebrated our fifth (and last!) Thanksgiving apart from our family.
December
Christmas festivities got kicked off with a visit to Santa.
We celebrated Christmas in the beautiful city of Budapest.
I do not know what 2017 holds…so many changes are coming very soon as we prepare to move back to the USA at the beginning of February. There are a lot of uncertainties ahead for our family. However, I do know this:
“For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not harm you; plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11.
Happy 2017 everyone!
Happy 2017 everyone!
