good bye 2011 ~ welcome 2012

Wow 2011 was such an amazing year!  Growing, learning, loving, opening, living, heartfelt, passionate, laughter and many many belly laughs

It all started out with a trip to a beach town called Cape San Blas were we ran on the beach like kids

Springtime welcomed swimming, hiking and many runs

May brought the surprise of finding out we were pregnant 

and a hard time of losing a part of my heart my grandma Ca

Summertime brought many special days at the pool, relaxing on the deck, hanging out with friends and family, hiking, town square parades and concerts, outdoor dinners and a very fun vacation

We also found out that we are having a boy

and then made this little video about the experience

In the fall we took a little trip to Savannah and the Blue Ridge Mountains

and Iowa

November brought our Mom's here for our Baby Shower and we finished the Nursery

December we finished our birthing classes and crossed off our baby checklist in case baby E decided to come early (which he didn't) so we continued on with celebrating Christmas with my dad and little sister who visited us from Iowa.

2011 was an amazing year!  Thank you for reading and supporting my blog, I can't wait to unfold new stories and experiences in 2012!
