Warning!! Shit storm commences!
Kid two is hospitalized for 3 days, setting the new family record.

Our 2nd year of college comes to a close and we scurry to get everything finished.
Things quiet down on the extended family front.
May:
We spend our days exploring the new town and gearing up for summer.
I give my notice for my job. Since we moved, I no longer have a backup plan for childcare, and daycare is expensive!
June:
Kids first vacation away! They ride down to Arkansas with their grandpa and spend two weeks having fun in the south.
We are served with a lawsuit! Let the fun begin!
We go on vacation and spend a week camping and hiking before grabbing the kids and heading back home.
July:
We spend several weekends camping with friends.
We find out kid two has mild/moderate hearing loss.

I have to buy whole new wardrobes for growing kids. They just keep growing!
September:
The kids start school, both in middle school this year. No more elementary :(
Kid one turns 12!
I turn 30!
Swim season starts.
October:
Deposition time. Hours of my life I will never get back :(
Kid one gets her braces. She looks so grown up!
Junior year of college, semester one, complete.
November:
The year is almost over! Here we insert swim meets nearly every weekend, orchestra concerts, and other various busy school activities.
December:
Happy holidays. First year that neither kid believes in Santa, but had a great time in spite of it.
Kid two goes through all the xrays and whatnot needed to start her orthodontia treatment. Yeah. Two in braces. This will only hurt a little...
I know there is things that I am missing throughout the year, but it will be nice to come back to it later to be reminded of everything. I would like to start doing this every year.
