It was a wonderful year for our family.  There were a lot of great accomplishments and wonderful things that happened to us.  We were lucky to see all our parents this year, which we are always grateful for, being so far from any family.  We feel lucky to have such amazing family and friends near by and far away.  We are incredibly blessed in life.  We hope 2013 brings new and exciting adventures for our family!
