That was a great year review! Thanks for sharing!
What a great year! I'm so glad we got to be a part of so much of it!!
What a cool idea for a post.
Now, why didn't I ever get to babysit Benjamin? I would have done a good job, I promise! : )
Ha I remember the time we babysat Benjamin--I guess we did a couple times--but he was totally happy and cute the whole time, until 2 minutes before you guys came home! I've always worried that you guys thought that we abused him or something :)
Lesley, you can still babysit him if you want! Any time!
Lisa, we don't think you abused him. Don't worry. Thanks for being such good babysitters! P.S. You're a cute pregnant lady! We're excited for your upcoming arrival!
You guys are the coolest family. It makes me happy to see what you guys are up to.
What a fabulous post! So fun to review all of those things - some that we knew about, some that we didn't.
We've said it before and we will say it many times: You guys are an EXEMPLARY family - in so many ways! We're so happy to know you!!
What a great way to summarize the year--Vicky you did a good job. How blessed we all feel to have shared in many of those memories. You are an awesome family!!
