731 days later...

I can hardly believe it, but we've completed our second trip around the sun, picture blog-style. Last year at this time, we completed our first 365 days in photos. Today, we pass the 731 mark.

I love scrolling through this ever-growing compilation of our family's life together. I love looking back on the milestones we recorded (who needs a baby book?)... the small moments I might have otherwise missed... the pictures I wouldn't ordinarily have taken... and I am deeply grateful. I remember to count our blessings this way, to smile, to remember.

In honor of the capturing another year in pictures, I picked ten of my favorites. Look on for some of the moments, big and small, that were captured these past 366 days.
