Ooh What a Year!

Rose and Dolly


Let us start by saying Happy New Year! May 2013 be a year full of blessings for you and yours!
This year kind of snuck up on us! We cannot believe that our baby girl is one. Can it be that everyone was right, that it truly does go by so fast? Thankfully we heeded all the advice and spent as much time possible enjoying our baby Rose as she grew through the first year of her life. Thankfully we kept up with her blog diligently so now when we are feeling nostalgic we can look back over her first year and all the memories. 
Time keeps moving along however and we are equally determined to make Rose's second year of life one for the books as well. There are many adventures in store for our family this year as we embark upon visits with family through the winter months, an international trip in the Spring, tons of pool and beach time in the Summer and trips to Las Vegas and to Disneyland in the Fall! We have booked Rose's social calendar and while we might not post monthly here on out, we promise to post the big milestones and share our adventures with all of our faithful blog readers.
