First, it was building the house in 2012 and then the garage in 2015. Then it was having our daughter in 2017 and our son in 2019.

I have been meaning to share these pictures for almost two years now but somehow never got around to it. In August of 2018, David and I took a week long vacation to explore a bit more of the east coast states.
