-Grow own food (Christy)
Our garden was a success for our first year. The girls loved to snack on strawberries and basil leaves while playing outside during the spring and early summer. I loved eating tomatoes and cucumber warm and straight off the vine! We still have brussel sprouts currently that have braved the sub zero temps. Can't wait to start another garden in a couple for months.
-Go strawberry picking (Christy)
Well, the girls went strawberry picking all the time in our backyard, so this item merged into the latter one.
-Go to 2nd grade (Brady)
Brady has done this in exemplary fashion! She is rock star in second grade. Homework time is now stress free and she is earning lots of high marks on her papers.
-Go to kindergarten (Reese)
Reese has blown kindergarten out of the water! She loves school and looks forward to the specials and centers everyday.
-Go to the Children's Museum (Brady)
-Start running (Elli)
Elli kicked hypotonia in the butt and has fully caught up developmentally to her peers!
-Go to DC (Karl)
We made a couple visits to DC last year. Once to visit the memorials and visit good friends that moved to Maryland. Then another time to see the SF Giants in the playoffs. We see lots more DC visits in the coming years once we move to Maryland ourselves.
Going to see the Giants play was the highlight of the year for Karl.
-Go overseas (Christy)
Karl and Christy celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary in the grandest of styles.
-Go to the Great Wolf Lodge (Brady and Reese)
This might has been the highlight of the year for the girls!
-Go see Pop Pop's fish (Reese)
Reese (and the other girls) spent their spring break with Pop Pop while her parents explored Europe. Reese had such a great time, she demanded she sleep at Pop Pop's house, while the rest of the family stayed in a very nice beach house!
-Have a Kid free weekend on our Tenth wedding anniversary (Christy)
We spent the weekend of our anniversary in the trees! This might have been my favorite highlight of the year. The team work to manage the course was rewarding and the adventure of it all was exhilarating.
-Attend an air show (Karl)
Although, Karl looked forward to bringing all his girls to the airshow, rain and traffic caused this to be a somewhat disappointing experience. I don't think Brady was sold on the idea.
-Bike/run/play at Mt. Trashmore (Christy)
This time around last is least! This was the only item we didn't complete. Mount Trashmore was visited, just not as an entire family and we did bike rides, just not at Mount Trashmore, so all is good in the Orthner World!
