Our Year in Review

January- We moved from St. Louis to Wichita Kansas. My Mom drove out here with the kids and me, so I wouldn't have to do the drive alone. Brady had been here for a week or so before us and had the house unpacked.

Cash turned 2!

February- Enjoyed an extended visit from Brady's Mom (Nana) and sister, Jessica while they waited anxiously with us for Noah.

March- Sweet Noah was born!

April- Bought the van....our first brand new car. Only our 2nd car purchase since we've been married.

May- I drove home to Franklin with all 4 kids by myself for the first time. Noah was 5 weeks old and nursing every 2 hours at that point. What a trip! Thankfully they were all angels for me and we made the trip in about 12.5 hrs or so.

June- Gigi (my Mom) came to visit.

July-

August- Papa Frank (my Dad) came to visit us. Luke turned 7, I turned 29, Luke and Avery Jane went off to school for the first time! (Kindergarten and First Grade) Brady's Mom & grandparents came from Iowa to visit and celebrate Luke's birthday with us.

September- Went to St. Louis for a weekend. Went to Rams/Eagles game...our first Eagles game ever. (Brady's Dad recently left the Titans and it is his first season coaching for the Eagles).

October- Avery Jane turned 6, Brady turned 32. Noah turned half a year old. Brady and Luke took a guys trip. They went to Philadelphia and it was their first Eagles home game.

November- We experienced our first Earthquake! A 5.6 in OK City shook us here in Wichita. Very scary! Avery Jane and I went on a girls trip. Our first time in Philadelphia and NYC. AJ's first train and subway ride on our trip to NYC.

December- Brady's sister, Jessica came to visit. A surprise job offer came for Brady in his dream territory. After much prayer, we decided to take it and move back home. This meant our first and last Christmas in Kansas.

All in all a great year for the Washburns! This life of ours is never ever dull, that's for sure. Lots of moves, babies, kids growing up, trips.... We are blessed beyond measure and are thankful to have made it through another year happy and healthy!
