This past week, I have allowed myself a blogging break. We have been thousands of miles across the country, focusing on family, connecting with friends, celebrating a wedding, celebrating the birth of our Savior, and preparing for the arrival of our little nugget. I will try to cover some of the highlights of our recent travels, but blogging during all of the aforementioned excitement just wasn't a priority.
That being said, Hubby and I JUST arrived home from our ten days of travels, and we are so grateful to be safely home with our critters, and the baby still in utero. We now have almost a full week to soak up our fleeting time "just the two of us", unpack, and organize our house for the arrival of the baby (and the arrival of company that will happen soon after the arrival of the baby).
Before we get to all of that, however, I want to take a minute to reflect on 2013. The crazy, unexpected, beautiful, challenging, rewarding, blessed year 2013 has been. Throughout some of this year, I did monthly collages with significant pictures from each month of the year. I think re-posting some of those is the perfect way to round out 2013.
I hope your year was as blessed as our has been:
March 2013
April 2013
May 2013
June 2013 -- and we learned we were expecting a baby
July and August 2013
September 2013
October 2013
November 2013
December 2013
What a year:
Thank You, Lord, for blessing us beyond measure.
