A toast to 2012

I usually like to ring in the New Year with a post to commemorate the year that's passed.  2012 has proven itself to be a pretty good year.  We have lots of things to be grateful for and lots to look forward to in 2013.

2012 in Review:

January:
So I am pretty sure we must have crawled under a rock last January because I don't have a shred of photographic or Facebook evidence that we did anything in January.  Well,  I know that Max was 7 months old then and we were just beginning our search for a new house to move to while recovering from the holidays and just flying low apparently.
