Yes, we still have a baby and a life and lots of fun things to report, but they haven't quite made their way to the blog. SOON! To see Ava pics, check out Facebook or Instagram @clairejharper/@monsieurharper.

Like I said, 2012 has been WONDERFUL to us. Could not be happier and can't wait to see what is in store for us this next year as we watch our baby girl grow and try and improve ourselves as parents, spouses, friends, etc.
Great year! Except the part where you moved... :( I wish they could rearrange the map and put Boise right next to where ever Jordan and I end up.
