By popular demand, I’m bringing our sweet little nursery to the blog today :). I never thought a room could ever be so special to my heart.

I think it’s so important to look back at where you’ve come from, and take the time to celebrate it, before looking forward again. Highlights of 2013 Bigger and better publications.

Andy and I found out the gender of our little baby Christmas Eve by having the ultrasound tech put the results in an envelope 4 days before. It sat in a box under our Christmas tree for a few day, almost torturing us with its presence. We took the first day to enjoy and celebrate […]
