scenes from 2013...in one year.

Even though 2013 is over I want to share some of my favorite moments of that year. I've learned that it's always nice to reflect back on the good memories for comfort. At least I do. To hang on to the ones that taught us lessons, and made us a better person. To hang on to the ones that made us happy, and perhaps will help us grow into a much more happier person. To hang on to the ones that gave us hope, helped us find peace, and strengthens us throughout our life. There were so many to choose from, but these are some of my most cherished memories...

Chelsea's baptism. Her smile alone strengthens me, and is a reminder to me of my own baptism. 

 

Lexie's performance with the All South Jersey Jr. Orchestra...such a proud moment!

Valentine's Day...my next favorite holiday. Love these pics of Noah & Chelsea...they are growing up way too fast! 

^^ March ^^

Having Sierra finally deciding on a university to attend & even though she won't be returning in the spring she is grateful for all that she learned while living in the city of brotherly love. She is excited for a new adventure this year in the state where she was born...Salt Lake City, Utah!

Easter...this picture makes me smile. Noah with his sneaky look on his face getting ready to crack a cascarone (confetti egg) on one of his sisters heads!

Picking out a real tree, snow, and the temple...the perfect combination of how Christmas should be!

These are all wonderful memories, and I will cherish them always. Nonetheless we are ready, and have welcomed 2014 with open arms, and look forward to what this year will bring. Let's just pray that if any curveballs come our way that they won't be as hard to catch as the ones we had last year! 

Happy New Year everyone...come what may!
