Just over a year ago, I got my first smart phone, and now I have no idea how I lived without it.
I love that I can check my e-mail in the carpool line, put an appointment right into my calendar and send texts to work out the logistics in my crazy life.
But one thing I didn’t realize I would love so much is its ability to take pictures. There are so many times when I’ve forgotten my camera, but now it’s ok—I always have my phone.
Here are some of my favorite shots taken over the past year.

Here’s Adam at the barber. They asked if he wanted a hot towel for his face. He hated it.

In a rare moment last summer, Lilly and Jonah were caught holding hands.
