Now that summer is officially gone and our little guy has reached his one year milestone, it’s hard not to get emotional when reflecting upon the past 12 months….

I sometimes barely remember what my life was before Arlo…

As I told one friend as she was about to start her own new adventure, “There will be good times and stressful times, but man it was amazing ride and I loved every minute of it”.

I am looking forward to that next bend/fork on the road…
