One year here...where has the time gone?

We are now entering our second year in our house in Wisconsin. We are quickly moving into the "we've lived longer in this house that we don't yet own than in the one we DO own" phase of our lives (sort of like when people realize that they have spent more of their lives together than they have apart...)

Anyway, I dug up the pictures from our deck as the seasons have changed over this year in THIS house and some of the pictures over a few seasons at the OTHER house. Quite a difference, don't you think? The funny thing about the first pictures is that I never set out to take a picture of each season...it was just so nice to HAVE seasons again that we found ourselves taking pictures of the beauty of change.

April 2008...our first house, in Georgia

May 2008, in the pool already!

Still in the pool in June
and July of courseToo hot for outside in August but September we ate outside a lot...and the pool suffered :-(
Middle of October...beautiful weather...notice the lack of jackets on my children...

Beginning of December...very green...definitely not white...

This picture was taken at the beginning of January! Not in Wisconsin :-)

So the one time it snowed in Georgia while I lived there, I wasn't even present for it! But I didn't get photo evidence for future proof :-) That was at the end of Feb/beginning of March.

Beginning of April...i don't even remember what he needed to do that got him so messy :-)

The girls were playing inside but you can see how beautiful it was outside in May of 2009...

Beginning of June 2009, right before we moved...probably the last time Loran mowed the yard...we mow every week here...there we probably mowed once every two or three weeks :-)
