2011 in Review
2011 was a wonderful year! Our greatest gift this year, McKinley! She was born on April 12th and our life has been changed ever since. Looking back this past year, I can't believe how much Wyatt has grown. It really is amazing! I will be honest though, January to March was blur, Todd was working late and Wyatt and I were on our own a lot in the evenings, it made for VERY LONG evenings when late in pregnancy. April through July went by fast and are also much of a blur because we were in SURVIVAL mode! Whatever it took to get through the day in one piece. Lots of crying and screaming was had by all (in a good and bad way) this is all part of having a newborn and 20 month old. There were lots of good times too but again with the honesty, it was HARD! It was really tough. I look back and I am truly thankful for my family and all the help they gave us during these times of adjustment. We made it through! July and August were great. I finally had somewhat of a handle on this mother of two thing, Wyatt loved the water and Mimi and Papa built a pool, what more could you ask for! September through November was full of parties and fall celebrations. My favorite time of the year. December is a fun month in itself and when you have a two year old it's even more fun!!!!
I am looking forward to our new chapter, a new year filled with new opportunities! I am a little sad to be saying goodbye to this one, after all it was GREAT! My sweet girl is growing up way to fast. (I would love to do a year in pictures for you, but my blog won't let me!!! So here is a quick recap!)
JANUARY: Snow day, the first time we have spend the ENTIRE DAY inside our house (minus going to check out the snow for 10 minutes!). Wyatt and I joined our friends for a gym class!
FEBRUARY: Trip to the Zoo with Kacey and Spencer, Wyatt's first trip! Mommy and me swim lessons at the Y, very thankful for all of Mimi's support when daddy couldn't be there! Also, went for a wonderful weekend trip to Miami!
MARCH: Wyatt said goodbye to his paci and mom through a shower for sweet McKinley
April: Spent a week at Mimi and Papa's house while ours was rented for Masters. About 3 days were spend without power! It was still a wonderful and real zing week before sweet M arrived! BIRTH OF OUR SWEET GIRL! She is the greatest gift this year!
MAY: I finally graduated! We had a great party at lake and then headed to Kiawah for a relaxing time. Wyatt also spent 5 days with Nana, giving us much needed time with baby M.
JUNE: Survival mode! Many many trips to lake to be with Mimi and Papa. Learning to have two under two!
JULY: Swim lessons for Wyatt and lots of fun in the water
AUGUST: Wyatt turned 2. We celebrated with a HUGE Toy Story party. He also started a new preschool.
SEPTEMBER: Wyatt's first trip to DISNEY, thanks to Mimi and Papa. McKinley's first trip away from Mommy and daddy.
OCTOBER: Nana and Big Dude got married. They couldn't have asked for a better day! Halloween fun was had by all, Wyatt as Buzz and McKinley as a cute strawberry.
NOVEMBER: First fair for Wyatt and McKinley. He loved the rides! Lots of yummy food and put our Christmas tree up.
DECEMBER: What a fun month with a toddler! We had a playdate craft day, a reindeer party for his friends, a party at school and a party at Celeste's house. Lots of family fun and of course Santa made a visit to our house. It was wonderful. After Christmas, daddy took a day off and we went to the Atlanta Aquarium! What a great way to end the year!
Looking forward to 2012!
