2012.

this year was the best.  seriously.  and i blame avery for it all.  i'm so, so thankful for our little family.   

in january i was on maternity leave and spent most of it cuddling a very tiny baby.  charlie's parents came to visit and meet their granddaughter for the first time.  we also started house hunting in colorado and then debated about moving back to d.c. for a bit before finally deciding on staying in colorado.

Morning smiles.

in february i went back to work, we celebrated a very mellow valentines day, and avery met her cousin for the first time.

Cousins.

Passed out.

in march we made an offer on our house and read a lot of books.

Nighttime reading.

april brought a lot of packing & work on getting ready to move.  my mom also came out for a week to spend some time with avery.
