If I were to describe our lives over the last year with one single, solitary word it would be "interesting." Lainee will turn one at the end of this week and it is amazing to think of all the changes the Blome household has gone through in the year since her birth! Our household of two parents, one child, and two felines became a household of two parents, two children, and no felines! (Continued thanks to my cousin Carin!) I went from a full time PTA/mommy/wife to a part time PTA and full time mommy/wife while Christian has gone from a full time Admissions Director/daddy/husband to part time student and full time Admissions Director/daddy/husband-all while suffering through numerous bouts of migraines! We sold our beloved Maxima (which got me through one car accident when preggo with Lainee, through a tornado, and took me back and forth to Huntingburg more times than I would care to count) but we gained a wonderful Ford Taurus that gets Christian back and forth to work every day! We've watched as one child has began to talk in full sentences while the other is just learning to take small steps! We are learning to live life with a more frugal approach, and in turn I have found my love and interest in completing "DIY" projects around our home! Through all of this we have continued to be blessed by our fellowship with our small group at church (we have been together now for over 3 years) and by our wonderful accountability partners who have walked life right beside us! We are extremely blessed! Like I said, life is very interesting, but also very, very good! :-) 
Carter and Lainee in their Halloween Costumes...well, they aren't really costumes. To reside in the Blome household you must be a "tried and true" Hoosier fan so technically Carter and Lainee are just living life. Mommy is ready for basketball season and Daddy...well he is just along for the ride!
Christian recently celebrated his 31st birthday! Because my mom had already made him a cake earlier in the week he suggested that I make our favorite brownies and ice cream. So to make it more "birthdayish" I added the "31" with some icing. :-)
The Blome family visited Scottsburg for a few days while Christian was at a conference for work and we went to Montgomery farms...it was getting close to closing time so we were the only ones there! Carter loved playing in the "corn box".

We got to visit with the Scott family recently to celebrate the birth of baby Jude...what a cutie! He has such a sweet personality! It was great to visit with whole family! We just wish we lived closer!
