Happy new year! Here is a recap of our 2013<\/p>\n

In January Maggie reached the 6 month mark. She was still willing to be a prop for Will’s toys at that point.<\/p>\n

In February we vacationed in Cozumel. Maggie really enjoyed the local cuisine.<\/p>\n

Things were a little cooler in St. Louis in March… no swim suits required here.<\/p>\n

We spent Easter with the Pantazis crew, baby chicks and all!<\/p>\n

In April Amelia completed the St. Louis Read, Right, and Run Marathon, her first organized run (1 mile), with a finale that included thousands of students from around St. Louis.<\/p>\n

Amelia turned 7 on May 4th.<\/p>\n

Maggie and I celebrated Grandma Kat’s 60th birthday in Washington.<\/p>\n

In June Amelia, Vera, and Will went to Iowa for Gramma Camp, or Grandparent Camp like Will likes to call it. Maggie and I took a short road trip to hang out with Helen and Faye for some hot weather fun.<\/p>\n

We headed to Washington in July, non-stop action and Northwest beauty. Check out these kids!<\/p>\n

Summer wouldn’t have been complete without a trip to Green Lake, WI in August with lots of Spencer extended family.<\/p>\n

In September we were back in the swing of school, soccer, and juggling activities with three kiddos.<\/p>\n

(It can be exhausting.)<\/p>\n

October is Will’s favorite month of the year because he can celebrate his birthday, and it’s harvest season. He turned 5 on the 14th and let me just say, October lived up to his expectations yet again!<\/p>\n

Plus the Cardinals made it to the World Series!<\/p>\n

We took advantage of another beautiful St. Louis fall that took us through November. Bikes are really the best way to travel as a gang at this age.<\/p>\n

December was full of holiday adventures, including a trip for Amelia and me to Washington for Papa Mike’s 60th birthday, a post Christmas trip to Iowa City, and New Year’s with the Pantazis crew.<\/p>\n
