It’s just about that time when we all gather together to celebrate those last 10 seconds of the year and ring in the new one with some booze and a kiss.
Hope you have someone special for that kiss.
I find myself at this time of year also reflecting on everything that has happened (the good and the bad) and I think about where we are headed and what may possibly come of 2012. Except for a few mini-vacations and a family wedding, we have no concrete plans for the year. But, I’m so looking forward to what could be in store. I love new adventures.
2011 was a wonderful year. Most of it was spent loving and adoring a beautiful baby girl into the amazing toddler that she is now. And another big part was making the move to San Francisco! We reached a few milestones and celebrated Sadie’s 1st birthday, and our 2nd wedding anniversary.
Really what happened is that we learned a lot about ourselves this year. With much trial and error, we have come a long way as parents – and have learned so much about each other. Embarking into parenthood with someone is not for the faint of heart. We shed many tears and had our fair share of disagreements, but at the end of the day year, we are a strong loving family. And we are figuring it out together, one day at a time.
Here’s a look back at some memories from 2011.
road trip to San Francisco, January…
February, first time trying out those swimming legs…
March…
April…
celebrating my very 1st Mothers Day, May…
June, my sister got engaged…
July, Sadie met some extended family & went to the beach for the first time…
August, we put our home up for rent and packed up our stuff to move to San Francisco…
September…
October, we celebrated Sadie’s 1st Birthday and experienced Autumn as a family…
November… We found a sweet spot in our daily routine when bath time became designated daddy & daughter time. I get some much needed time off, and Devin gets quality time with the munchkin.
I cooked and hosted my very first Thanksgiving dinner… success!
December, for the first time we got to experience a cold weather December. We spent time with new friends and enjoyed all the magic that this season brings…
and of course… THIS happened…
We wish you all a very Happy New Year, see you in 2012.
