Calvin and I set our wedding date in February, knowing it would probably be extremely hot on the day, so we decided on an indoor, air-conditioned venue.
It's February and it's time to wish a happy first birthday to Joaquin Miguel, son of Elmer Miguel and Amber Dawn!

Our kids have both been out of the house for a few years now and we're officially empty nesters. Our old house was too big for us, so we downsized. It definitely wasn't a downgrade though. It's a wonderful house and it already feels like home.

Right at the end of last year, Grandpa decided to retire. He really loved his job but he couldn't handle it physically any more. Caterina has been hoping he'd retire since before they got married, so she's happy.
Josie Clarke has reached her second trimester and fortunately for both her and husband Troy, the nausea has all but disappeared and her mood is much improved.
I've really been missing Dad, especially in these last few weeks, with the lead-up to Christmas. This will be our first Christmas without Dad, so I'm going to try my best to make it a merry one though it'll be hard.

At the beginning of the year, I decided to move out of the dorms and room with Rebecca in Sullivan instead. It's definitely more expensive but there are enough advantages to make it worth it for me.

I wouldn't recommend anyone else get married without living together first but for me and Troy, it's worked out fine.
Amelia's third trimester was really nerve-wracking for me and for Amelia. She didn't have any more pre-term contractions after being put on bed rest but we kept worrying they'd start again. It was only in the last couple of weeks that we relaxed a little. We both just wanted to get through this birth and take our baby home.

Jacob and I used to be able to laze around in bed at least a couple of mornings a week but that doesn't happen very often any more!
Narrated by Amar Hamilton
Naturally, when Jacob got married, he moved out of this place and in with Claudia and her parents. He was getting tired of the bachelor lifestyle and he likes being a family man now.
Two blacks,
