Reflections of 2011

I am doing this a day early as tomorrow I have a busy day with a funeral and family Christmas.

This year has been amazing in so many ways for me and my family.

~We can start with the obvious. We welcomed our 1st little girl into the world in the best way possible. My birth with her was amazing.


~I have watched a little boy fall in love with his sister and grow to be an amazing brother. He is wonderful and is growing so fast.


~Our third baby is now well on its way to joining our family.




~My photography skills have improved beyond belief. There are some surprises coming in 2012 for this and I can't wait to share. I have gone from this............


To this............



I have improved a lot and can't wait to improve and learn more than I already have! Many thanks can be given to my wonderful friend Annabelle. She puts up with a lot of silly questions and rants from me! She is the best and without her I would not have even started a business. I can also thank my wonderful husband for believing in me and pushing me to do this. He is a continual support and I know he will push me farther even when I doubt myself.

~We also were able to visit my family in Idaho which meant a lot to me! We had so much fun and it was a memorable trip. Lord willing we will be spending Christmas 2012 with them.


~We also have been able to make some improvements to our house which we have wanted to do for a while. They are little but slowly we will get our house where we want it. This has included a new furnace and new kitchen floor.



I think the biggest thing has been watching my children grow and learn. They have been a joy. I can't believe Lilliana is close to walking. Eli talks so well now and his mind is a steel trap. They have grown so much and each day become more amazing.

The not so subtle things.

~Financially this year has been the best we have ever had. We have had a few set backs but thankfully God has provided. God has blessed us and for that I am grateful.

~Anthony and I have grown closer this past year. Every year seems to get better. Life would just not be the same without him.

While I am sad another year has gone by so fast I am happy in the fact that this year has been wonderful and I have so much to be thankful for and so much to enjoy. I don't know what 2012 will bring. I hope many great things, but if for some reason it does not I have God, my family, and wonderful husband to rely on. In the end that is all that matters. Happy New Year!
