One Year In.....

One year ago yesterday, our family rolled into Salida, CO.  We were unaware of what our year would hold, and how we would do.  Below is a list of highlights - things we did / did not do, ah ha moments, funny things and sad things.  

(I will not tell you who said what, but chances are you will be able to tell.)

• snowed on my birthday (June).
• we have such cute cats!!! 
• stuffed animals were ruined by mice - ick.
• one broken wrist and a squished foot (same kid).
• we haven't even skied yet!
• came up short on hunting.
