Happy New Year!!

Well, we thought we would start our page with some family photos. This will just be a quick one to get the ball rolling on our new blog.

We had some family photos taken while in California. The black and white photos are a tradition for the de Bos family. What a joy it was to have Joshua in the photo shoot this time!! He did wonderfully following the photographer's directions.
