At the end of each year, I love reflecting back and really appreciating all that we accomplished and overcame. Of course, it's also fun to peek back to see how Ethan has changed and also remember some fun posts. It wasn't until I had Ethan that I could truly appreciate how rapidly time passes. I hope to savor more of it in 2014. :)
