2017 Year in Review

(Let's all pretend I posted this last night, m'kay?)

My word for 2017 is "GO." After spending most of 2016 in/near home with two babies, I think we had cabin fever by the time last January 1 rolled around. Here's a summary of all our goings.


  • States visited by all 4 of us: 14 (in chronological order TN, AR, MO, IA, SD, ND, MN, NY, OR, MS, TX, NM, AZ, CA)
  • Additional states visited by DF for hurricane relief work: 3 (GA, AL, LA)
  • Family airplane trips: 3
  • Family road trips: 2
  • Cross-country moves: 1
  • Grandparents and great-grandparents visited: 100%
  • Oceans splashed in: 2 (Atlantic, Pacific)
  • Pack-n-Play set up/take down achievement level reached: Expert
  • Days that Gus and Gibson survived with Salmonista as their sole in-home parent: 46
We were watching little videos last night of the boys at our old house in Memphis. They seemed to remember it, but they were confused about why we aren't there anymore. We didn't know when last year began that we'd be moving from Tennessee to California before the sun set on 2017. The move went fairly smoothly overall (no belongings or family members were lost in transit!), and we're settling in well to our new SoCal lifestyle. 

Who knows what new adventures 2018 will bring? Stay tuned to find out!
