There have been so many things that I intended to blog about this past year, but I just didn't have the time (or internet) to do it. I have promised y'all lots of pictures, and this post fulfills that promise! haha! Rather than post about each thing individually, I decided it would be easier for me to just do a year in review of sorts. There are activities that have been left out, and many many pictures that I just didn't have the time or energy to edit and post, but I hope you aren't disappointed! Some months had more activities than others, as I'm sure you'll be able to tell. (I obviously didn't add anything that I've previously posted.)
If you want to get a better look at the pictures, don't forget that you can click on the picture and it will make it larger for you! If any of you would like a picture or two, let me know which one and I'll be happy to email the individual picture to you. Collages just seemed the easiest way for me to get all these pics on here this time.
So without further ado, here is our 2014:
January:
After months of planning trips to Muir Woods and then cancelling, we FINALLY made it out there!
I accidentally brought the wrong lens for my camera, so I didn't get the greatest scenery pics, but that's ok. After the hike, we went to the lookout point for the Golden Gate Bridge and enjoyed some awesome fog.
February:
We had a picnic at a park in Vacaville one sunny day! Natalie had a blast running around in the grass. Man, she looks so little to me in this picture!
March:
As previously posted, my baby brother came to visit us! On his last day we were able to go hiking at the Rockville Hills Regional Park. It was beautiful weather and good exercise. :)

April:
This month, Travis' dad and aunt were able to come visit us! These pictures were all taken on the day that we went to the V. Sattui Winery in Napa.
May:
Travis' mom flew out for a visit this month, and we got to take Natalie to her first air show. She loved those planes!
June:
My parents were able to come see us this month, and we took a long weekend to go to the Monterey Bay area. It was gorgeous!
July:
We made the big move to Germany and lived in a hotel for a month! Our first big sightseeing adventure was to Trier, Germany, which is about an hour from our house. We had a good time looking at the sights until we got caught in a HUGE thunderstorm with no umbrella! We hung out in a tunnel for an hour before the rain let up a bit and we attempted to make it back to our car. Still plenty of things to do in that city that we missed because of the rain!
August:
We drove to Heidelberg, Germany, for the day to check out that town and castle. We took the tour of the castle, but they didn't allow pictures to be taken inside. Boo. It DID rain on us this day, too, but we had already learned our lesson and had an umbrella ready!
September:
Travis had his first tour, and at the end of it we rendezvoused in Vienna! It is our biggest trip so far, and was so fun! We got to spend 3 days in the city, and saw some amazing sights. These pictures don't even scratch the surface of all the pictures we took. ha!
October:
I have been on quite a crochet kick lately, and this hat and scarf set was the first in a long line of projects that I've completed. Natalie just looks so cute in it that I had to take her out for a little photo shoot! Also, we were thrown an awesome baby shower for Baby Boy on the weekend of Halloween! We got some matching shirts to make the occasion even more fun. hahaha
November:
At the end of this month, we got to go to our first German Christmas market! We decided to go back to Trier, and it was great fun. Looking forward to more Christmas markets next year!
December:
This month Natalie turned 2! But that is worth its own post. We stayed home during the Christmas break, since it's so close to Baby Boy's due date, and I've been so achy that we haven't even done much in the area. We enjoyed a nice, quiet Christmas at home, and watching Natalie open presents this year was so fun! It has snowed a few times, which has been beautiful. 2014 has been a great year, and we're looking forward to all that God has in store for us in 2015!
