Meeting Neighbors
DEPO
New friends
Trip to Vienna
Birth of our daughter
Family Visits
Becoming parents
Surgeries
Recovering
Mamaland
Thanksgiving
Mikulas
Christmas
I'm sure that's not an exhaustive list...but it's a start! And one of my favorite things to do at the end of the year is to look back over pictures from that year. Then I like to find ones that probably didn't make it to the blog and put them up :)
