2013 In Review

2013 was definitely the year of Jack!  It's embarrassing if you look at my Instagram feed, it's all just pics of the little man.  I've officially become the one behind the camera these days, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I just realized I never wrote a recap for 2012, but that was definitely the year of preparation and nesting.  We moved into a new home and just as we were getting settled got pregnant!  2011 was our year of stability and 2010 was the year of change.
