Welcome 2013!

With open arms and happiness, the newly expanded Novoa family welcomes the start of a new year. It's always so exciting when we finally hit January 1st because there is a sense of renewal and a certain fever in the air to do better this upcoming year. While I know there is always room for improvement in our lives, it's tough to believe that things could actually get better than they are right now....our two little boys are so amazing and bring us such love and joy already...could things really get any better than this???

The year started off pretty snowy and cold. We took advantage of this to bring Oliver sledding. To say that he loved it would be an understatement.

I also took the opportunity of the start of the new year to get back to running. It felt great to go out on the road and get my legs moving again.

The whole family also took some time to just chill out on the couch. Jennifer, Oliver and Rowan found a comfortable spot and got to work. 

Rowan got the new year started with tons of smiles. He is such a dream and so full of personality already. The whole family is truly enjoying him and he seems to be enjoying us. 

One of the only times that Rowan is not so happy is when he is made to wear hats. He typically does not like it. I did manage to capture him baring a cute smile with one of his new hats though.

We have also been really working hard at getting Rowan to eat enough....no, not really. This kid eats just fine and is growing remarkably well. Here he is showing off his 2 month physique.
