It's hard to believe almost a whole year has passed since I last blogged! It's not that I've not wanted to but 2012 was a year full of transitions and changes for us so while I kept thinking I need to sit down and update the blog it just never was a priority. Here's the highlights of 2012 to get us caught up! Hopefully I'll do a better job at keeping it up!
March 2012:
After 6+ long months on the market our first house sold. While we were excited, we were a little sentimental packing up and leaving. Our starter home was very good to us and lots of wonderful memories were made there but our family had doubled since we moved in back in 2006. It was time to move on to a place with a little more space so we could expand our family even more!
We had a small Tangled party with family and just a few friends from church. Pete and Nana were able to be here that weekend so Nana showed off her cake decorating skills and made a fabulous Rupunzel tower cake!
We got to spend Thanksgiving in GA with all of the Horne's so while we were there we celebrated Khloe turning 2 with a Minnie mouse party with the Horne & Guthrie crew!
It's hard to believe how much the girls have grown in just 1 year! They look so little here...
While we couldn't be more excited about selling our house, it was a little nerve racking because we still hadn't found a house to buy! We had found one that was under construction that we loved but it already had a contract on it. After looking at lots of houses, Ryan and I finally decided that we'd rather rent for a while and wait to have a house built than to just buy something for the sake of buying. We kept telling ourselves that moving twice would be worth it! While we were in the middle of it all, I definitely had my doubts but now that we've been in our new place for close to 9 months now it was so worth the wait and all of the moves!
June 25,2012:
Moving Day! We feel so blessed to have such a beautiful home but more importantly to have the space to welcome others into our home for fellowship. My prayer is that we always use our home for God's glory!
August 2012:
We were thrilled to find out that we were expecting baby #3! We had our first ultrasound at 10 weeks on September 26th and everything looked great! Baby Blount #3 due April 23,2013!
October 2012: Kinsey turns 4!
November 2012:
Khloe's 2nd Birthday
Fall 2012:
Every fall around the girls birthdays I like to get their pictures taken professionally. Mandy did a fabulous job capturing each of the girls' personalities. I just love my sweet girls!
Sisters!
December 2012:
We ended the year with more great news at my 20 week ultrasound. Our April baby was a healthy little BOY! Ryan was in shock for I think at least a week and even made me go to a local ultrasound place a few days after the first ultrasound to confirm that it was in fact a boy. Nothing had changed and it was very clear we had a little guy on the way! It has taken a while to sink in that we are in for a whole new adventure with this pregnancy but we couldn't be more excited to meet our little man in less than 6 weeks!
So that's our year in a nut shell! Hopefully it won't be another year before I post again!

Ok, you've motivated me to update my blog. It's been a year since my last post, and i had pretty much given up. but maybe I'll try again! So happy y'all are having a boy. They are totally different animals, but so much fun!
So glad you're blogging again, Kristin! Loved reading your recap...y'all have had such a full year but lots of blessings with another big blessing still to come. Can't wait to meet Knox! Chad said he spoke to Ryan recently - hope we can see y'all in person before long. :-)
