2015: Year In Review

There's no new material here, and this is totally cheating as a post. But I had some extra time this morning and was trying to think back on 2015. Frankly, when you have a small child, it can be hard to remember yesterday, so I wanted to do a visual recap to appreciate where we've come from and where we've been this year.

The Skimm has us covered from a global perspective...

2015 was on fleek. Adele said ‘hello.’ Bieber said ‘sorry.’ NASA said ‘hey girl hey’ to Pluto.  Ahmed made a clock. Apple  sold us a watch. Greece said ‘oops, we went broke again.’ Left Shark stole the halftime show. The 2016 election stole all the attention.  “Star Wars” really had The Force with it at the box office. The  US women’s soccer team won World Cup gold. California could have used a shower. Amy Schumer was a Trainwreck.  Floyd Mayweather’s undefeated. Ronda Rousey was not.  Paul Ryan got the promotion that he really, really didn’t want. Everyone read Hillary’s inbox. And watched “The Jinx.”  FIFA’s balls got busted. You still can’t whip/nae nae, or spell  American Pharoah’s name. Charlie Sheen has HIV. Jimmy Carter beat cancer. Kimye  had another baby, and did not name it Wild West. That was a lot. Here’s what you need to know… so I just went back in my photos for our little story. He's bigger now, but still enjoys a yogurt picnic. January "and the piggies chased me" is still oft retold. February                                       future looks bright!   Valentine's Friendship lunch at school and an ice storm  Cloudy with a chance of doughnuts Zoo School! March + April Easter + playoff hockey May Buddy friends Pool's open! and (lots of) birthdays! June Adventures in Upstate (vehicles, mostly) Pete + OJ got hitched Pej is here July August Back to school September It's a brudder! October Hockey's back Halloween + underwear Loss of multiple household appliances, gaining a big boy bed November Thankful for school + friends + mac n' cheese December Merry and happy to all! Best wishes for a sparkling 2016...there's a lot in store!
