another year has come and gone and it's that time again for another annual year-in-review post. i enjoy these posts each year because they are such a great way to close out the year and look back on all of the things that we packed into the past twelve months.
here are our highlights from 2023 . . .
in january, we rang in the new year with our families, noah made his magazine debut, we celebrated 11 years with leko, celebrated my birthday, walked around the block, and enjoyed noah's cuteness.

happy new year!

Wow! What a year when you look back. You sure packed a lot of stuff into one year, no wonder you are tired. The pictures are so great and you can see how the little man has grown through the year. Hopefully 2024 will be more organized for you now that you are settled in your new home.
Happy New Year's Eve.
Whew!! What a busy year you have had! These are all wonderful photos and it's just fun to look back over the year and see the changes in Noah from month to month. I hope 2024 is a great year for you and possibly not quite so hectic!
