Goodbye 2021, Hello 2022!

What a year!

What an incredible year! 2021 is the year we became parents, the year we were given our sweet baby, boy Brewer!

He was born January 23rd, so he’s been here for the entire ride this year! It’s been amazing in every. single. way.

We love being Brewer’s parents! 2021 will always be super special for us!

Today, I am recapping our year by sharing a few exciting things that happened each month!

January

The month we were handed a beautiful, sweet, & precious 8.3 pound baby who forever changed our lives!
