Looking back at 2023.

November

December
We moved back into (the upstairs of) our house!
This was a different year for us - I started out with a surgery with a three week recovery time, I fell twice skiing (not hurting myself too badly but a couple of minor injuries had me moving differently), Dave changed jobs, we lived in our basement for 5.5 months, lived through a major house renovation, and I had a very busy year at work with lots of challenges. However, as you can see above, we got to do many amazing things in the midst of this - and we are grateful for all of it!
Yay for the NEW House spaces and getting to move back upstairs. This was such a fun yearly wrap up to read.
ReplyDeleteY'all had a great year..with so much activity and travel, but I realize it had it's challenges too. Love the family pic with Santa. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteHooray for moving back to the upstairs! I enjoyed looking back at your year and didn't it go by so fast? Good to hear that despite the challenges you also enjoyed some wonderful times with your lovely family. I love the pic of E and Q jumping for joy!
ReplyDeleteDespite your health challenges, you got to do a lot of travel. I didn't realize you lived in your basement for six months?!?!? It might be nice to be upstairs again!
