2013 Update

As many of you have seen (if there is anyone still reading this), blogging has taken a back seat at our house!  We had a busy summer and getting on the computer when Sam is awake is impossible.  But, it is my goal for 2014 to stay caught up since this is pretty much the only place where I document things that happen with the kids.  The kids will have to look through the photos and on Facebook and Instagram for their "scrapbooks" and memories! Glad we at least have those! 

I can't move forward without sharing some of the highlights of 2013 in case I never get around to really documenting it.
