We used to post here? I know it’s been a loooong time, but I plan on spending my maternity leave playing catch-up with the blog. There will a series of “better late than never” posts being published for the next week or so. Exciting, no? C’mon, admit it, you missed this blog!!
Here are pictures (and a video!!) of Natalie’s 3rd birthday, celebrating family-style!
Natalie helping decorate the cupcakes (and enjoying the icing!):

All dressed and ready for her tiger friends to arrive:

Time to sing and eat tiger cupcakes!

Auntie Jodi miraculously gets 6 toddlers to pose for a picture!

Daddy and Natalie relax after the party is over (Natalie decorated her forehead with stickers!):


As I looked through the last year’s worth of pictures to create the slideshow below, I felt sad because I’ve been so behind on blogging. It’s been a year of maturing, learning, and taking on new challenges. I’m working on a wordier post to articulate all those changes, but for now, the year in pictures will have to suffice. It’s hard to believe that Natalie was born 3 years ago already! How time flies!
Enjoy!
