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
