What a year 2012 was for our little family. After ending 2011 with a few tears for our uncertain future because we weren't supposed to be able to get pregnant on our own, we received the thrill of a lifetime. The morning of Saturday, January 21st, David and I found out we would become a family of three!
Telling our family and friends was amazing - the outpouring of excitement and those who truly shared our joy was a tremendous blessing.
2012 also saw us developing relationships new and old. Getting to spend time with new friends (like the Elliots and Bakers) and getting to watch some of our favorite singles get married (like the Pascales and the Stewarts) made the year such a fun adventure! We laughed, we danced, we ate good barbecue, we saw midnight screenings.
We were also overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and help when I was put on bed rest (several times) and since having Sam. Our sweet, sweet friends have brought food and puzzles and spent time with me or let me nap when I thought I was losing my sanity.

2012 also saw us move (a couple feet) away from our small, third-floor, one-bedroom to the pretty two-bedroom where our Sammy was born. It's crazy how what we had in our tiny apartment filled up the new one! And I stopped working at the office and became a professional housewife! The few days that I've had the energy, I've absolutely adored it. I even bought an apron!
But mostly, 2012 just saw Emily grow!
And then, one week after the above picture was taken, arriving on his due date (like no other baby would), Sammy made his arrival. And we were immediately and irrevocably, forever in love.
2012 was a tremendous year for us, the biggest and best we've ever had. I can't imagine how 2013 will be able to top it - except that I know we now will have our hands full with our little Adventure. For those of you who shared in our last year, we are thankful for and blessed by you; and we cannot wait to see what this new year has in store for all of us.
