Going through an entire YEAR’s worth of photos is fun, time consuming and brings forth so very many emotions.  I think I said in my head “Oh my gosh look how cute and little “so-and-so” was!!” about a bazillion times, possibly with a tear or three in my eye.

Even The B Man seemed smaller and more like a little boy at the very beginning of the year since he lost his first top tooth back in January.  And now he’s getting a mouth full of big person teeth and is well on his way to EIGHT years old.  Crazy.

And we went from having a baby to a full-on talking, semi-bossy toddler and a pre-schooler who knows how to write his name and started playing soccer.

All in all it was a great year.  We did some traveling, we spent time with family and friends, we grew (or lost weight!) and changed and we made the most of it.  And I ran a little… and took other people’s photos for the first time(s)

The cool thing about this life of mine?  It’s made up of big, wonderful moments but it’s also made up of so many small yet truly amazing ones, especially as I watch my children grow and continue on this journey with the love of my life.

See, that’s what going through my photos REALLY showed me – that I am so very blessed.  I think I say that on here a lot because well, it’s true.

And even though it was extremely difficult to choose, here’s a look back…
