Instagram Update

Thanks to a few of my friends who recently posted their Instagram pictures on their blogs to share with all those who are not on Instagram reminded me to do the same!  Yikes, I am a little embarrassed to admit that the last time I did this was in August!  Um, so yes, there is lots of catching up to do by way of pictures.  I enjoy doing these types of posts because you can see a lot of what we have been up to over the last (ummm, 6 months) without a lot of words.

On a side note, I really love taking pictures and Instagram is such a great portal for sharing them.  Instagram really captures and gives you a glimpse inside our daily lives while I usually only post and blog about activities we do and outings we go on.
