A look at 2013

2013 was a great year for us! It is filled with memories that make me smile...
friends family running good food trying new restaurants beach vacations a trip to New York (first time flying for the boys) trips to Virginia a visit from our cousins C starting Kindergarten the boys learning to ride bikes the boys learning to tie shoes goals achieved goals not achieved (Chicago, but hopefully in 2014!) 18 books read around 600 miles run 2(ish) miles in the pool lots of working lots of playing and lessons learned.
I feel so blessed and thankful and 2013 will be a year I refer back to for a long time. The best thing about the year of course is anything to do with these guys.

Thank you for reading. This is a place that I love, an outlet for me to create, to clear my head of the words that fill it, to share my teeny little humble experiences, photos, and ideas, and to be inspired by others.
I've learned many lessons this year, and among them what stands out is simply to show friends and family you love them. Say it often and don't be embarrassed. Give hugs and squeeze people tightly. Never look to the internet for medical advice. Have a good attitude. Forgive easily (that includes yourself). Lay down the camera sometimes and pick it up sometimes. Soak it all in. It goes by too fast.
