A few of my favorite moments from 2013

As I was looking back through all the pictures to make our 2013 blessings video (you can watch it here), I realized there are so many pictures and memories that never made it to the blog.  

Maybe I'll do a separate post with some collages to document those stories but for now enjoy  

 a quick year in review highlighting some of my favorite moments from the past year.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
