2012 - A Picture Review

Looking back on 2012, it was a rather peaceful year in the Erwin household. We had no major life milestones in our immediate family (babies, houses, vacations, etc.), but we welcomed our nephew Caleb into our family, Elise turned a whole hand old, and we enjoyed a few mini-vacations around Indiana. Here are just a few photo highlights of the year. 

Elise and her friends see 'Princesses on Ice' - Elise's desire to go to Disney World grows

We continued to explore Columbus, IN - a hidden gem! They have a wonderful indoor playground - great for cold winter days!

I was experiencing seasonal effectiveness disorder - I took very few winter photos. In the spring, Lilah enjoyed her first independent ice cream cone

Elise and Wes attend the Boys and Girls Club Daddy-Daughter dance

Easter!

Elise's end of the year singing program at school

Katherine June turns 2! Train party!

As Lilah learned to say more words, she and Elise became friends

Mother's Day! Elise's hair is constantly in her face, so I briefly gave her bangs

Father's Day in French Lick

Elise's first horse ride
The girls visit Nana and Papa J and explore Fort Wayne
Swim lessons - Lilah has no fear!

Elise conquers her fear of 'wet eyes' and learns to swim under water

Lilah June turns 2!

Elise attends her first church camp

Lilah develops opinions - a lot of them - this one is 'I don't want my picture taken!'
Colton turns 1!

We build our first snowman (we should have waited a week for the blizzard. Our snow man is buried in other snow now!)

Thanksgiving!
Christmas!
