Wow, I'm extremely behind on blogging. I don't know what has happened. Many times I have just considered ending it all together, but who am I kidding, I love being able to go back and read the posts!
I will catch up on everything else later, but for now I need to get in the 2012 recap!
We started off the year slow, celebrating birthdays, hanging out at home in the snow, and attending Children's Hospital Events. Brode and I did one dance marathon event and one radio telethon to raise money for the Children's Hopistal of Wisconsin. We shared his story and met other families!
May 2012 Brode had his (hopefully) last and final surgery. He had eye surgery at Children's in Milwaukee on both eyes. His eye muscles were adjusted to prevent over tracking and causing his eyes to float back and side to side. After surgery we had a check up with his eye and cranio doctors and everything is looking great and we're now down to yearly checks!
Summer came and we were busy! We spent a great deal of time outside playing in Brode's waterpark and taking trips to have some fun!
(Brode caught his first fish)
(We went to a movie at the drive-in)
(We played at Badger Sports Park)
(We went to the Milwaukee Zoo and Green Bay Zoo)
(We visited the State Fair)
(We went to a Brewer Game)
(We rode rides at Six Flags Great America)
(We visited the Children's Museum with day care)
(We went to Quarry Quest)
(We picked pumpkins at Little Farmer)
July 2012 also brought a HUGE month for Dane and I!
It started with a trip to Disney for the 4th of July:
I then came home to 2 full time job offers and accepted one at the place I had interned. During my transition I was surprised with a trip back to Disney (10 days later) and we got engaged:
The fall flew by with wedding planning and new jobs!
September 2012 Brode celebrated his 4th birthday! We had a party at Monkey Joes for his day care class and they were all exhausted afterwards.
December 2012 we took a family trip to Disney with Dane's family and my family for Christmas. We enjoyed rides, great food, and getting out of the snow to the warm weather.
We came back to 14 inches of snow! Christmas was spent with all of our families and being very busy. Brode got way too many amazing toys and had a lot of fun. Brode also got his first skate on our backyard ice rink before the end of the year!
The end of 2012 brought another big step as Dane and I officially became homeowners! We began moving in and Brode and I look forward to settling in when we all become a family.
2013 will undoubtedly be a HUGE year. With a June wedding, an amazing honeymoon planned, and a new house to settle into I can already tell things will be great.
Here is to health and happiness in 2013!
