2016: A Year in Review

All in all, I'd say 2016 was pretty good to us as we added our sweet Cecelia to our family, went on a few trips, and enjoyed our time together.  Besides my back surgery (and sometimes dealing with a feisty toddler and fussy baby), I really don't have any complaints about the year!

Our highlights from the year included:
