I know a time will come when I won't be able to remember what it was like before we became parents, so I wanted to pay a little tribute to the times when it was just the two (er three) of us.
2008 in a nutshell:Chris studying day and night * Moab trips * 4- day cross-country drive to Michigan * Summer in Kalamazoo * Eating lots of Kellogg's cereal * Cheez-its * Ruby learns to swim * Hanging with Mark and Kat in Chicago and Nauvoo * Chris on the set of Good Morning America * Learning of our baby-on-the-way * Meeting new friends * Saying good bye * 2 1/2 day cross-country drive home from Michigan * Announcing our pregnancy * Summer Olympics * Lots of mountain biking for Chris * Lots of being lazy for Sarah * Lots more studying for Chris * Celebrating our 2 year anniversary * The arrival of our new niece, Ginger * The announcement of another Backman baby * Finding out our "it" is a "she" * Lots of skiing for Chris * No skiing at all for Sarah * Sarah getting enormous...and terrified of getting any bigger * Utes go undefeated!!! * Chris being 3/4 done with Grad school!!! * Good times with loved ones * Much anticipation for the future!! * Farewell 2008 * Happy 2009!!!
I found this blog last year and thought it was pretty funny. The best part is reading the violations cited below each picture. Check it out!
I've really fallen off the blogging bandwagon lately and with my growing girth I am becoming less and less inclined to post pictures of myself...but this family pic turned out okay so I posted it, if for no other reason than to get out of my blog rut and move forward- so our readers don't forget about us.Stay tuned for posts regarding a successful home science experiment and a story of our adventures with the A-Team.
