So
to wrap up 2016, I thought I would treat you to a “Year in Review” post with
some of the highlights and ummmmm not-so-high-lights of our year.
Let’s
see…where to begin…
We
had a few more “Firsts” in Riley World! He
participated in his first, multi-day Special Olympics Basketball tournament; ate
a grilled cheese sandwich WITH THE CRUSTS ON and attended his first concert to
see J1 perform in Las Vegas. Go Ri!!! On
a, less happy note, I restarted Operation IFO with the introduction of a cheese
quesadilla and he had another EEG which still showed seizure activity soooo...continuing
with the meds it is. By far, the biggest highlight of Riley World was
Halloween. Have you ever seen a happier Princess Peach in your life!!
J2
moved out in the spring. I thought I would really, really miss him. I did not.
Well. Not as much as I thought. :P Except
perhaps this past month. 2 words. Advent calendar. Not to worry…he is planning
on moving back home in the coming year. Not sure how I feel about that. I was
getting used to being able to see the entry hall floor free from all his
shoes.
J1
is still enjoying his life on the road and making music with Brett Eldredge. Best gig ever...touring and opening for Keith Urban this past year. Worst fail ever...not introducing ME to Keith Urban. :O
I
had a less than stellar start to my year. I made the decision to do the #LosetheBooze
Challenge in February. Yea. WTH was I thinking?!?!?! I did not enjoy it. AT. ALL!!! One thing is
for sure…I am not getting wiser as I get older.
However,
for the first time EVER, I did not have to listen to Riley muttering away the
“THE CLOCK IS WRONG!!” in November. G & I managed to sync all the clocks for
DST. GO US!!!
G
continued to work on our ensuite shower for the 4th year in a row.
I'm going to leave it at that.
From
our family to yours, may 2017 bring you good health, much happiness and
laughter with friends and family and of course, lots of memory-making
adventures!!! Cheers!!
Love this! That picture of Riley as Princess Peach is one of my favorite pictures EVER. He is SO happy! I haven't written since before Thanksgiving, so I need to decide whether I'm going to get on the stick and do it or not.
ReplyDeleteHe is so happy in that photo!! I noticed there is no photo of you after the No Booze Challenge??! LOL I rarely do even have a glass of wine anymore... but I am VERY glad that I can if I wanted to. All the best wishes for all of you in 2017.
