Below you will find a link to each month's page containing daily photos and brief journal entries.
We had a fantastic year, at home anyway. Their are plenty of sad things going on in the world that we are not happy about and the election certainly didn't give us much to look forward too. Jobs are leaving town right and left, but at least things in the Heath household are the way we want them. Benjamin learned how to do so much and certainly kept us busy chasing after him. Jackson finished his two day a week pre-school class, had a busy summer, then started going three days a week. He continues to amaze us with both his intelligence and his sweetness. For our family, finding a way to keep the children home has reduced our stress level greatly and made each day more enjoyable. We are an extremely lucky family and are again this year very thankful for all that we have. Each year continues to go by faster than the last and I am sure that trend will continue next year. But I am also sure that in our old age we will look back on these years as the best of our life. With that in mind, we try to cherish each and every one of these crazy, busy days spent chasing the kids around.
