Goodbye 2011. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!
so fun to see pictures from the past year of our new friends! (although I guess Mike is technically a new "old" friend) My favorite was Cameron's duct-taped diaper. Ahhh that things we parents do to make it from day to day!
ReplyDeleteHi - good work! What a year. I'm feeling bad I haven't talked to you at all since Mike's surgery - I hope you've survived okay! I can't imagine how rough that would be... awesome pictures - so fun to see the year in review:)
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about?! I feel bad I haven't called you since you've been sick and dying with all of your infections. I had really good intentions of bringing you dinner but the past couple of days have been a little crazy. I'll call you.
ReplyDeleteAng,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great year-in-review. You're so darling and positive about everything (even nose-picking obsessions). I love reading your blog every now and again. Lori:)
Lori,
ReplyDeleteAre you still in NSL? I forgot to send you a Christmas card-- it was kind of a crazy December. You should send me a link to your blog.
