My 2016 unintentionally became "The Year I Never Blogged"
because it intentionally became "The Year I Learned How to Be a Mom,"
and I hate the empty space over in those little drop-down year menus to your right.
So, each month is getting a retroactive rewind post.
April:
This month marked 4 years of marriage! Michael's graduation party was a much anticipated night of dressing up and having fun with friends. It was at the Indianapolis Children's Museum. My last girls' night in Indy was also so fun and so emotional. Those friends were something special, and so was our overlapping stage of life. We had fun finishing off our Indy bucket list at Conner Prairie and other spots around town. Westin started walking! We took our final trip to Louisville and drove around Kentucky with Michael's parents when they were speaking in a small brach. Hiking in Natural Bridge State Park was really fun, and our visit overlapped with Michael's grandma. Stephan and Cathryn visited us from Evansville before we moved. Still no luck with finding a rental, and pregnancy was still sick. But we still loved spring in Indy through all the crazy.

| Westin learned to walk by using this car seat in his room. He would prop himself up on the box and then start testing out steps toward me or Michael at bedtime. It is so much fun to see them learn that milestone. |

| Lots of nauseous days at home but this boy didn't mind. |
