Happy 2016 to everyone!! I know everyone says this this time of year, but seriously, where did 2015 go? I feel like it was February just a month or so ago.  I've always been sensitive to the passing of time, more so that my peers typically have been. I cried at my high school graduation (now several graduations in the past) because at the age of 18 I was so sensitive to that event signalling the end of my childhood.  Those first 18 years of life felt like eternity, but now, more than a decade later, the years since feel like they've flown by. And having a baby - whoa! - it puts time on warp speed.

As 2015 is coming to a close, most of us are looking forward to what 2016 will bring. But sometimes it is good for our perspective to take a minute and look back at where we (generations of 'we') have come from.  

So we've made it through one weekend of holiday festivities, one more to go! Hope you all had a very merry Christmas (if you celebrate it. Otherwise, a very merry long weekend. ;) )  We made a lot of stops, from Christmas Eve through Sunday, but it was a great time seeing family and friends and making new memories.
