2012

To say the new year has been busy with many surprises is an understatement.  I haven't kept up on the blog intentionally, as I just haven't had the energy to do so.  I honestly thought I might stop doing it, and with Parker's birthday on the last day of the year, thought I was at a good stopping point, but I get asked all the time from family why I haven't posted..so here it goes.

We've had snow storms, KU basketball, soccer practice and games for both girls, who are now playing for different leagues, which is proving to be interesting on some weekends.  Brecken is enjoying being on a team and actually playing games.  She scored a goal in her first game a few weekends ago.  Parker's team plays on Saturdays and Sundays and she is getting more aggressive and confident in her playing ability.  She's actually trying, which is a huge step for her.  We've also had Easter egg hunts, and Easter celebrations.










Oh, and we're also having another baby.  I'm 23 weeks and this is my first attempt at a pregnancy picture for baby #3.  If that wasn't a surprise enough (trust me it was) we found out we're having a boy!  We didn't think Howell boys had boys, so this was a huge surprise too.  The girls are thrilled, Chris and I are finally coming around and daddy's Lego's from his childhood have appeared at our house. 









That's been our 2012 so far!
