On a family level there were a few key events this year. This summer we took our first real family vacation in years. We met Jeremy's family (minus Garret) in southern California. We recharged our batteries at the beach and took Merrick for his first trip to Disneyland. While we were there we discovered the most significant thing to happen to our family this year, we found out that we were going to be having another baby. We have since found out that it is a baby girl and we are anxiously awaiting her arrival in 2013.
Jeremy reached a significant achievement this year as he reached his half way point in law school. He continues to work so hard to reach this goal he has set for himself. He also had his first legal job this summer. He worked as a legal clerk for a local attorney. It was a trial by fire kind of job, but he learned a lot and gained some invaluable experience.
Sarah lost her job early in 2012 and decided it was just the push she needed to start her own business. With the help of her mom, she started her own preschool. It is going really well and allows her to earn some income while being with Merrick.
Merrick is loving preschool. He is learning so much and constantly impresses us with the things he knows. He loves cars from the "Cars" movie and is always looking for someone with an electronic device that he can play with.
Lola's big event this year was her discovery that some slats were out from a section of the back fence and she could come and go as she pleased. This ultimately led to several manhunts to track her down. At this point we think we have the problem resolved and hopefully her days of roaming the neighborhood are behind us.
All in all 2012 was a pretty good year for our family. We look forward to 2013 and the promise that it brings.
