Beginning Sunday morning, January 1, 2012 and through sunset on Monday evening, December 31, 2012, we took 4562 photographs!
In trying to condense them into 'a few' for a blog post I think I did pretty good on my first edit, which yielded 36 in my folder. Still too many. So I tried again. I aimed for just one photo for each month, I really did! But still could only get it down to 19. The main focus is People, Places, or Milestones. Tried to cut out all the 'scenery' - but one made the cut anyway. And even though there are more than enough for at least one photo a month, a couple of months are not represented. Oh well.
Here we go.

January 1: His brother Ryker called this Ranger's 'bathtism', and I LOVE this picture! You can see Ryker's whole-hearted participation with his parents, and Rangers chosen godparents. And little Ranger is looking out calmly, as if saying 'Look what's happening, to ME!' |

January 1: The first time (and only time, so far) that I have seen my son in his Navy uniform.
