Your boy looks so at home with a chicken under his arm. Beautiful family shots. Blessings in the New Year!
ReplyDeleteI love your summary of each month... Maybe I'll get some blog posts done tonight and steal your idea :)
ReplyDeleteThese are some of my favorite photos as well. Of course I love the ones with the chickens. Fun to see how they've grown over the year. I love that photo of both the kids standing in the doorway and Adrian holding that chicken. Too cute. I think this is the way kids should grow up :)
ReplyDeleteI feel sentimental seeing those photos again. I wonder how you could have narrowed them down. lol Thank you for sharing your family activities and projects and plain old living. Happy New Year to you all!
