2011~ Let's Review

Looking back, 2011 has been a year of surprise blessings for our family.  Let's review.

January

We began the year with these two monkeys and {one} on the way.

On January 19, we got the surprise of our life when we discovered we were pregnant with 2, a boy and a girl.



February

The monkeys didn't care and simply wanted to play in the dirt.




But Bob and I knew life was a changing.  So we dropped the kids off with grandparents and headed west for our fantastic babymoon.













MARCH
brought us back to reality.

and back outside.





APRIL

we're still outside


looking for Easter eggs


posing


cooking


having a few meltdowns

and turning 4








MAY
about to explode

trying to prepare for a whole new adventure


and 2 became 4







We were all so very tired.



well, almost all of us.



JUNE
a month of major adjustments














Then God sent us Mathers!



JULY
was spent cooling off with family













AUGUST
We began venturing out as a family









and got our first smiles




SEPTEMBER
brought us to school

brought us hope that he will some day get along with these babes

brought us to the apple orchard

and brought us many more smiles






OCTOBER

 
this was it.

We were so busy selling a house, buying a house, and moving

NOVEMBER


Getting settled in the new house


where Eveley now has unlimited playdates with neighbors!

It was trying for everyone.

Phew.

We never could have imagined what God had in store for our family in 2011, and we thank Him for His faithfulness and blessings.  Knowing He holds tomorrow, we look forward to 2012.

Happy New Year!
