A mere 365 days after her arrival (and 367 after her due date 🙂 ) — and here we are. It doesn’t seem like a very long period of time when I think about it, but a lot has certainly happened in the past…
Thank you for all of your thoughts on my move-related posts! Many of you pointed out that moving mid-year can actually be easier on kids, which is really interesting to me. We are thinking about just going for it, and Josh has been spending time…
