I've been thinking over the past few weeks how crazy it is to look back over the past year. A year is a good amount of time, but each one seems to go faster than the one before - so essentially, it's often a short amount of time. I cannot believe so much has taken place in our lives over the past year - wow! I don't know that we'll ever have a year where so much changes in our lives. It has surely been filled with excitement, fear, happiness, a little sadness, apprehension...It's kind of amazing to think about and honestly makes me daydream a bit when I start thinking about it.
So here's a few vintage Charlotte pictures:
I realized they're all of her sleeping, oh well
Of course we had to head out so Charlotte could experience her first snow (and maybe only snow in TX). As my cousin commented on facebook "don't they have coats in texas?" and I responded: "no coats, no snow boots, no kids snow gear, no sleds." Doug had the great idea to use the botton of the exersaucer as a sled (i was going to put her in a dishpan). We pulled her up to Mark & Meghan's and used their slight-incline of a yard as our "hill". Charlotte didn't like it so much, but I'm going to say it was because she had on 15 layers of clothes and could barely move, it was dinner time, it was cold and still snowing pretty hard (and I didn't think until the next day to put socks on her hands). 
She's had ENUF!
FINE PRINT: pretend you're reading this and it's the beginning of Jan, not almost the middle of Feb
It was so fun to Celebrate Charlotte's First Birthday with everyone while we were home. She loved all the presents and above all her cake (mainly the pink icing).
