Hello and happy new year! I always love the start of a new year and I wanted to kick things off with some of my core memories from 2022. It was a year of high highs (having Tucker!) and low lows (losing Grandy) but I know I will love being able to look on posts like this one years from now when our family is in a totally different chapter. Mostly I hope I’ll remember it as the year Teddy (and later Peter!) started speaking in full sentences, we continued to chip away at turning our house into a home, we ventured to Italy as a family with two toddlers in my third trimester, and we welcomed our third baby boy and got to introduce him to his big brothers. Putting together this post was such a reminder that the days are long and the years are short — it’s very easy for me to feel like I accomplished too little in a given day, but when I look back at the year as a whole, it feels very full! Thank you all for being along for the ride, whether you’ve been here for years or are just joining now. I can’t wait to see what 2023 has in store for us all!
