Happy New Year!

Happy 2012! We are so ready to be done with 2011. 2011 brought us more health issues than we ever wanted to dream of (plus months of selling, packing, moving, and home buying stress), so we are excited for 2012.

We enjoyed our first day in 2012 with some family time. We had such a great evening just playing on the ground, tickling, wrestling, winding our evening up with a rousing round of London Bridges. I know this doesn't sound that exciting, but there was a time when we wondered if we'd ever get to do things like this as a family with Case. So to soak in the smiles, laughter, and pure family love was extremely joyous!

To share in the celebration, I have posted what we call the scrunchy face. Whenever we pull out the camera and use the flash, Case squints and scrunches up his face because of the bright red-eye light. The face cracks us up and we usually get five of these faces before we get a "normal" one. So enjoy. I know we sure do!
