Wow, has it been a year???

Ok, this is so sad. It has been over a year since my last post. So what happened over the last year?

1. We found out we were expecting our second baby in March
2. I had the worst morning sickness ever
3. I had three sinus infections during my first trimester
4. We found out we were having a girl
5. Our friends from Norway came and visited for a few weeks
6. Gavin turned 2!
7. Our sweet Little Lee Mary Margaret Burke Belt Belt Baum had heart surgery and later went to be with the Lord
8. We decided to renovate our house
9. Taylor Marie Dipprey was born on December 3rd
10. We moved in with my parents in Sulphur Springs during our renovation...been here since right before Christmas (luckily I have off until May - maternity leave + sabbatical - I work for an awesome company!)

Ok, that was a lot! Sorry it has been so long. I'll have to post after we finish our renovation. Our time here in Sulphur Springs has been nice and its been great to spend so much time with the family! :) Of course, we are ready to be back in our house though and get back into our routine. I posted some pics below from the last few months...

Gavin, Ged and I on a Dallas DART train (we took a lot of train trips since Gavin loves trains and it was a hot summer)



Gavin's 2nd Birthday was at the Flight Museum

For those who are just getting caught up with the Dippreys, here is my one and only pregnancy picture (the morning Taylor was born)

Some pictures from our time in Sulphur Springs. Gavin has pulled out all of my old toys that my mom kept. It is hilarious!
