Hello Monday: 12/31/2012

Hello Monday

The last Monday of 2012.

I can't believe how fast the year went!

Hello new puppy

You came with the name Charlotte.

We seem to call you Scarlet.

Then you morphed to Lola (our beagle from 7 years ago).

Now you are lovingly dubbed Charlolet.

Sweet Baby is my name of choice.

You are sweet and cute and adorable.

You traveled with us at Christmas

{evidently we didn't think about holiday timing when we got you}

and you did fantastically.

You also like to sleep on the couch {a lot}

What a fun addition to our family you are!

Hello Christmas recap

You were fun.

It snowed {in TEXAS folks}

Gifts were loved.

We do 4 gifts per kiddo: Want, Need, Wear, Read.

And Santa brings a gift too.

Santa gifts aren't big ~ if there is a big gift, it comes from us {usually the Want}.

Much-needed time with family.

I love being closer to them.

Hello to getting to see my sweet nephews

We finally got to meet Baby L,

and Baby K has gotten so big!

So cute and adorable,

and totally gave me back the baby fever

that the puppy had partially cured!

Hello to pictures.

Lots of them.

I am going to make photo books.

Do you do this? What software/website do you use?

I don't want to spend a fortune, but I do want quality.

I am going to make an Instagram book too.

Simple and candid.

A different point of view than the "big event" pictures

Hello to 2013

I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us

No resolutions/goals this year.

I think Jami said it best.

Hello to getting into the Word

Reading

Memorizing

Studying

That sums up my 2013

Not to be more "spiritual"

Or look awesome on my blog or to my neighbors

Simply because I want to know Him more.

What are you saying hello to today?
