A Good Year

merry christmas and 

happy new year!

looking back on 2013 

i feel nothing but blessed.

the health and happiness of

my family of course..

but this year has been filled

with 

amazing adventures..

reaching important milestones..

trying new things..

meeting new people..

learning new cultures..

i can only hope for this 

coming year to be 

as rewarding.

this year i..

finally..

turned my blog into a book.

this is the reason i write this blog.

to remember the days and years

of our little family.

the last photo i put in an album

was around 2002.

i don't scrapbook.

so my blog book documents 

our life.

and i love it!

i miss our tradition of 

throwing out the old in the 

fireplace new years eve..

and writing good thoughts for the new

year on rocks and throwing them in the 

ocean on new years day.

you can read about them

 here 

and 

here

...i'm sure we could throw a rock

in the seine?

christmas morning.

griff looks overwhelmed non?

merci 2013.

you were good to us.

happy new years eve!!
