Looking back at 2011

Its January 1, 2012 and we are watching CBS Sunday Morning. The show did a look back at the year and we realized how many significant things happened in the world this year. The death of Steve Jobs and the killing of Osama Bin Laden and Muammar Gaddafi. William and Kate's royal wedding. The launching of the last space shuttle. Occupy Wall Street. The Casey Anthony trial. (Don't forget Derek Jeter's 3000th hit. :))

For us, 2011 has been eventful as well. It was our first complete year in San Antonio. Kevin's first full year at his job. My first full year as a stay-at-home mom. William entered the world on June 22 and became our first and only son. Caroline blossomed this year into a magnificent girl and great big sister.

Last night we welcomed in the new year with our friends Mary and Paul Boland. We had a New Years Eve pajama party with them, complete with take out from Aldaco's mexican restaurant and playing Apples to Apples. At midnight, we went up to the deck on our second floor and watched fireworks all along the San Antonio horizon. Life is good. :)
