Our year in review:
- We began the year in northwest Missouri
- I am asked to participate in the TOS Homeschool Crew's 2nd year
- Hubby accepts a job at a University in Maryland
- Emma is born
- My grandmother (in Maryland) has a stroke and is moved to a nursing home
- Emma and I fly to Maryland to visit with my grandmother
- A mad dash to de-clutter our kid infested house to put it on the market by June
- A car trip from Missouri to Maryland with the 4 kids (with a stop with friends in St. Louis)
- The van's transmission goes 40 minutes from our final destination
- We spend thousands of dollars getting our 10-year-old van working again and capable of passing Maryland inspection
- We live with hubby's dear parents for 2 months (Yes, they are still talking to us, in fact they sat for the kids last night!)
- We rent a house
- Soccer gets rained out all except for 5 sessions, we miss one of those due to an injury, one due to illness, and one due to the amazing disappearing shin guards
- Grandma passes away unexpectedly
- Our money-pit van dies on the way to church and we give it to the mechanic as scrap to pay for the diagnostic bill
- We are able to spend both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with family!
- We are (hopefully) buying a new (to us) van today
- At the end of the year, our house is still not sold, but we are hopeful it will be soon
