-## 2021 Highlights (160 photos)
-
-The largest year captures the early apartment era with Oscar, Noir, and Butter establishing their territories. Key series include Oscar's many couch positions, Noir's signature blanket-hiding golden eye peeks, and Butter's regal perching. The apartment features a recognizable gray couch, striped blankets, and warm lighting.
-
-Notable moments: Oscar nose-to-nose with Noir (Oct), Butter's first window perch appearances, Michael + Noir lap cuddles on gaming setup.
-
-## 2022 Highlights (48 photos)
-
-**The Jack Era Begins.** October 10, 2022 marks Jack's first appearance in a classic staircase standoff with Butter. The year shows the pack adjusting to a new member, with November capturing Jack + Jasmine car rides (both in harnesses) and the first Jack + Jasmine spooning photo.
-
-April features an extended 16-photo Butter + Noir cuddle session that showcases their bond. September captures Jasmine window-watching with Meg in a Minnesota neighborhood setting.
-
-## 2023 Highlights (6 photos)
-
-A sparse but transitional year. November captures Butter with a lion cut posing on the old leather couch - these are the last photos of that furniture before it was replaced with the current recliners. The triple-dog pile photos (Nov 4-5) show Jack, Jasmine, and Oscar all sharing the couch together in beautiful multi-species harmony. December closes with a Meg + Jack holiday selfie.
-
-**Furniture Context:** The leather couch visible in November 2023 photos was the old furniture, soon to be replaced. Current recliners came after these photos were taken.
-
-## 2024 Highlights (28 photos)
-
-Multi-species harmony on full display with the new furniture setup. February captures a four-pet lap pile (Jack + Oscar + Noir). March shows Butter and Noir sharing a bay window perch with art supplies scattered on the table - a gorgeous domestic scene.
-
-December introduces the baby gate era, with Butter hiding in a box behind it (peeking through the bars). The year ends with Jack and Jasmine in matching galaxy blankets under purple ambient lighting.
-
-## 2025 Highlights (7 photos)
-
-The most recent photos show the family settled into their current home. January 12 captures Michael and Jack resting on the couch with a 3D printer and filament rack visible in the background - the maker setup. 
-
-April 2 shows Jack resting near an "Instant Cold Packs" box and an Amazon box reading "Wish you could just stay in bed? Granted." - post-surgery recovery context from Michael's medical journey (hand reconstruction surgery March 2025).
-
-March 27 features a Jack + Noir staredown with Jasmine's legs visible in the background - the whole crew together.
