"Just what the doctor ordered..."

We are quickly approaching the three year anniversary of the Bloom's and Summers' starting their lives together. And it really wasn't our best year... This was "The Year of the Discipline Problems" such as the "Linson Debacle" and "the Night Chad Almost Had a Heart Attack Due to the Bad Behavior" which spurred us to write the Handbook. It was also the year we had the vacation from hell and MANY problems with the glorious ex-husband and ex-wife, not to mention a certain sister/sister-in-law. (This is where the phrase "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" really comes into play.) BUT...of course it wasn't all bad... There were so many moments when I was having a conversation with Mitch or Nick, or watching Chad with Ian and Samantha and thought "This really is the BEST! Whatever did we do when we weren't a family?" And so, we'll end the year with photos from a wonderful family night we just had - probably the most fun we've had as a family all year. And we have high hopes that the coming year will be better. And if not, we know that no matter what comes we'll get through it because we really have finally become a true family. Photos and videos from a fun-filled Komets hockey game!

What a nice post! I have to say I did laugh out loud at the part about Chad having a heart attack, but I'm glad you all survived! See you soon. . .
