The year 2012 was good to us. We are so lucky to have each other, our families, our friends, our life, our health. Always ready for the next thing, though, that’s our style. So bring on 2013.
I try not to take for granted the fact that this iconic bridge is part of our daily life. 
A quiet stroll through our neighborhood on the first day of 2013. The sun was shining on the mountains and we walked at a toddler’s pace, taking it all in and letting it all out and making our wishes for the next 365 days.
We did some wishing at the neighborhood shrine as is the custom of our host culture. V loved writing down her wish. 
Falcor wants me to put a word in for him. 
To the park! 
So lucky to play here. 
Making new friends in the new year. 
Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family! May 2013 be joyous and peaceful
Happy New Year! May it bring lots of happy moments, laughter and more sleep
!
That is some serious culture you and the family are taking in…envious of your journey but happy that you share so much! May 2013 deliver your wishes in abundance.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the pictures! It’s been a bit of a struggle here lately and having the perspective of other people helps me remember how lucky I am!
