Christmas: then and now

It's hard to believe this was our third Christmas as parents. Here's some comparison pictures from the past three years. 

and Christmas kisses from 2012, 2013, and 2014...

Christmas kisses: then and now

Oh the difference a year makes! Especially at G's age. 

2012 vs. 2013

Duke Gardens: then and now

As we were walking around Duke Gardens, I realized Chad and I had gone last year right about the same time. I had my Dad take a picture of me (and Grayson) in the same spot I knew I had taken one last year.

The picture on the left was taken right around my due date. The picture on the right is almost exactly a year later (which is funny, because we aren't at Duke Gardens often).

Here is our family at the same place in Boston Common at the end of March and then in July. 

I love comparison pictures (even though there isn't much time between these pics). Grayson was 4 months old in the first picture and then almost 8 months in the second picture. 

3 & 6 months

I took the picture on the right a few days ago and it reminded me of one I took of Chad and G when he was about 3 months old.

Love these two boys!

I love then and now pictures! 

Here is Rachel, Brooke and I from our little photoshoot in 2008 and then now in 2013...

I love how we have shared so many different phases of life!
