Best of 2013!

Thank you all for being on this beautiful country/city, nature/nurture journey with us! <3
Please enjoy some of my favorite moments captured in 2013 (there are MANY--i'm a Libra and can't make decisions- so perhaps use the potty first?!;) I look forward to sharing many more with you in the coming new year, yippee!
