2012, Looking Back.

This has been the best year of my life! So much has changed in our lives this year--our family grew and so did our hearts and responsibilities. We are different people than we were a year ago, and probably better for it.

So much happened in 2012...

We impatiently awaited the birth of our sweet baby boy. If you'd like, you can read his birth story here. I also made a resolution I didn't come close to meeting. Keith went back to work in February after spending 5 whole weeks on paternity leave, and I shared with you the things that made our new parent days so much easier. Meet the Sullivans got its own custom web address--no more .blogspot.com for us. 

Owen experienced a few firsts, riding in his BOB stroller like a big boy and dining out at a restaurant and his first Easter. I shared where I find my kitchen inspiration and what's in my purse. We celebrated my first Mother's Day and Owen wore his dad's Baptismal gown at his own Baptism. Owen rolled over and went for his first swim! I recorded and shared my very first vlog and finally shared my Household Binder. Owen continued to challenge us with his less than desirable sleeping habits. 

We celebrated the 4th of July with friend and Owen turned 6 months old! I shared what a regular week day was like for O and I. Owen started pulling up in his crib and soon after, everywhere else. We celebrated our two year wedding anniversary.

I shared with you my favorite slow cooker recipes and the greatest jeans I've ever worn. I finally got around to showing Owen's nursery off on the blog--only took me nine months! We dressed O up as a lion for Halloween. We sent our first family Christmas card and celebrated our first Christmas as a family of three. I can't believe 2012 is coming to an end. 2012, you have been so very good to us.

Cheers to 2013! 

I have a great feeling it is going to be another very exciting year!

You can see my 2011 and 2010 recaps too!
