2014 in Fast Forward

It is day 3 of The Nester's Blogging Challenge and I have already broken 2 rules.  That didn't take long.  As you may have noticed, the challenge is a 31 DAY challenge for the 31 days in October.  It was my honest intention to blog every day but I couldn't get it all together to post something on October 1.  Oops!  I may be making my own challenge - the 30 day challenge.

Then, yesterday's post touted that I would not be "catching up" but would be writing in keeping with my theme - WRITE WHERE YOU ARE - and would only include posts about what is happening in our family right now.  Oops again!  Yesterday's post was fun - looking back through some pictures from 2013 and getting the blog up-to-date. So, today's post is a look back, part 2.

Here is a look at our January - September 2014.  In a tiny nutshell.
