Year in Review - 2014

Another six months have flown by, but it's been a fun ride. So many milestones and too little time to share it all.

Sports!
The girls joined little league in the spring, continued with Girl Scouts and gymnastics, and then soccer and swim team in the fall.

They also took a brief sailing class.

July

We took our annual trip to Mexico where we spent a week in Mexico City. We visited the pyramids, historic downtown, Xochimilco, the zoo, Chapultepec and Kidzania, among other spots. We also visited our family in Leon and spent time with the cousins and family friends.

August
We took a quick trip to Idlewild in Pennsylvania, after Mexico, lots of backyard camping and parties before school started.

The girls entered first and third grade with much excitement.

We had our annual Halloween Bash, but unfortunately I didn't take any photos! As for Thanksgiving, we hosted a "Friendsgiving" and had a wonderful time. I'll have to post photos next time, along with photos from our most recent trip to Chicago for Christmas 2014. In the meantime, enjoy the quick time travel through videos below.

Quick recap in a couple of slideshows:

Highlights of the Past Six Months

Geez, it's been ages since my last post. We had a pretty harsh winter, here in Cleveland (as in most of the Midwest anyway), but we tried enjoying it. The girls took their first ski lessons, performed in their second ice skating recital, went sledding and made snowmen.

We took a quick trip to Maui (Sands) for our annual multi-family water resort weekend; the girls performed in their respective Poetry Shows; we visited family in Chicago; Fiona celebrated her sixth birthday (twice); we road-tripped through four states for a four-family beach vacation in Florida; and then spent a couple of days in Nashville.

Anyway, here's tons of photos of my adorable Boyd girls!
