- We lucked out and bought a house! (number 6 if your keeping track)

I would have put dates in there for a timeline of events, but that would have just made us seem crazier than we already are:) A lot can happen in a couple years! I know I certainly missed some key events in there, but that gives you the basic run down. The house we bought is in a great neighborhood, but it's been a rental property it's entire life, so there is no shortage of updating to be done. So far we've opened up some walls to create more of a n open concept, and completely remodeled the kitchen. The list of remodel ideas seems to be longer than our funding will ever allow for, but Kelli keeps reminding me that we don't have to get it all done in the first year.
Our days now have found a continual rhythm of our new normal, which consists primarily of exhaustion! Turns out there's a reason most people have kids in their 20's and early 30's, the amount of energy that comes out of this tiny little human is unbelievable most days! Most mornings he puts on more miles running around the house before noon than I will the entire day! Thankfully there's this miracle liquid that was created by God for the sole purpose of maintaining a level of sanity among parents across the globe, COFFEE!!! After the artery incident mentioned above, I had to take a 6 month hiatus from caffeine, it's nothing short of a miracle that we all survived that time frame!
I'll close out this return post by simply sharing two pictures. They say pictures say a thousand words, well I would agree when trying to show just how quickly time flies by there is no better way than to share a couple photos from a short period of time. 2 years does not seem like that long of a time, but these pictures sure make it seem so! I look forward to hopefully posting on here with a little more frequency than bi-annually, and hopefully there's at least one person who still reads it:)

This is the day before Gotcha day!
And these two are from 2 years later almost to the day!
Remember, don't discount the little moments, they're most likely going to be the things you miss the most!
