Remember us?

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!

3 Years-Old!!

Happy Third Birthday, Natalie!!
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!
