2011 - A Great Year!

Ok, I'm almost caught up on blogging!  Just to get behind again next week I'm sure.  If you think I'm behind on blogging you should see the stack of birth announcements I have YET to send out!  Well, I've sent out about half so far but still have the rest to address.  Seriously, my child is five months old and I'm just getting around to it and I've had the announcements for three months....  Oh well, I've been busy!  ;)  Anyways, this is my last post about 2011 (three weeks into 2012). 

2011 was hands down the best year of our lives for obvious reasons.  We spent the entire first seven months of the year preparing for our baby girl to arrive and then the rest of the year enjoying every moment with her!  I figured I'd do a recap of how 2011 went for us.
