Van Wagoners then and Now

I loved this post because it was such a eclectic snapshot on my family.  So I thought I would compare 2011 to 2013.  Here we go:
Us by the numbers....
7: seat belts. STILL SEVEN!
5: Isaac's baseball jersey.NO JERSEY ANYMORE.  HE TRADED IT FOR A UNICYCLE.
1: Week until Katherine turns 12! SHE TURNED 14 A MONTH AGO.
2: Years Emily has been waiting for us to paint her room. THAT WOULD BE A 4 NOW.
13: Josh's baseball jersey. NO JERSEY FOR HIM EITHER.  HE AND EM ARE ON A FIRST LEGO LEAGUE ROBOTICS TEAM AND LOVING IT!
34: Denny's age (still) YEP.  WE'LL GO WITH THAT.
6: Knives, forks spoons, plates, cups needed when we set the table. 7 NOW THAT THE BOY HAS JOINED US.
7: Years Pam's been on the Board at NSA. 9- TRYING NOT TO THINK ABOUT THAT.
2: Jobs the kids have to do each day. STILL 2
0: Cavities the kids had on their last trip to the dentist (hooray!). STILL 0 = YAY!
4: Kids attending North Star Academy. 3 KIDS AT NSA, 1 AT RIVERTON AND 1 CRYING IN THE CAR WHEN WE DROP THE OTHERS OFF.
6: Months we've had the little man in our family. 31 MONTHS

5: Years til Isaac goes on his mission. THAT WOULD BE 2! AHHHHH!

8: Diapers changed per day (give or take) WE'RE DOWN TO 3-4.
6: Baseball games per week. 0- SO SAD!
8: Irish shoes on the laundry room floor. STILL.
4: Lawns for Isaac to mow. YEP
84: Socks to wash and match each week. 84- IN THEORY. REALITY: 5 BASKETS OF LAUNDRY FOR KIDS TO DIG THROUGH TO KIND SOCKS.  NO MATCH SOCKS=BEST INVENTION EVER!
