Top of 2019

I really enjoy posting my top 9 of the year on the 31st of December.  I think there is actually an instagram calculator to tell you your top 9 posts of the year... I don't do that.  I just create a collage with my 9 favorite pictures of the year.

I have not been able to choose my top 9 yet... but I do have my top 31.  
HAHA. 

It is fun to look back at this year and know that we had such adventures with our little family... and then ended the year with the biggest adventure -- becoming a family of 7!

Thanks for the memories, 2019!

The best is yet to come.
