Brought to you by the letter L, and the number 6

To kick off 2017, I had a work conference AT Disney, so Jim came and met me for a few fun days! Kelsey turned ONE! In April, I had a conference in Chicago, and in May started my own networking group called Networking Today. It went well for a while. In June, I went with Staci and her girls to the old Land of Oz theme park in Beech Mountain. Overly hyped but still neat. I feel like the days are busy and overwhelming since having Kelsey but not much exciting stuff to report really. Just making it through day by day. Parenting is HARD y'all.  Enjoy pics below and see captions for more tidbits. SQUIRREL! Boycotting Hall of Presidents until Trump is out of office.

Well, after almost 6 months, we continued to keep an infant alive. Yay! And she had many more firsts, like first 4th of July, first Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and she started daycare. Since we had to cancel our grand belated 40th bday cruise to the Mediterranean, Jim and I left for a long weekend on a cruise to the Bahamas. We did Majesty of the Seas again since we were familiar and it was the best affordable quick trip. Kelsey stayed with Gabby and Papa (Jim's parents). See the pics... We were sad cause we stayed at Disney World the night before our cruise but we didn't have time to actually go in a park. 9 months old on Halloween We also had a professional family photo shoot with our friend Jennifer Kidd.
