I LOVE this one. Makes it look like y’all had a lot of summer, which I suppose you did. And I can’t believe you did so much! Are you worn out just reflecting? You really became an honest-to-goodness grownup (in my eyes) this year. Obviously before you were just pretending.
Love you! Here’s to an awesome 2013. We should get together to kiss more babies.
