2011 Year in Review

January:  We visit Sesame Street Live.  The Sunbean is enamored.

 February:  Snowpacalypse.  MacGyver and the Sunbean build an igloo with two rooms, a table, and chairs.

 March:  We escape to sunny Florida.

 April:  I spent most of the month on bedrest; we say goodbye to the Sunbean's sweet friend, Mazie, and her family.

 May:  We welcome Little Dude into our family.

June:  We spend lots of lazy summer days at the zoo.  The Sunbean becomes obsessed with feeding ducks.

 July:  Continuing with our lazy summer, we spend lots of time camping at the lake with my parents.

 August:  The Sunbean turns 3.

 September:  MacGyver accepts a job as a manufacturing engineer; we move 2.5 hours away.

 October:  We take the kids to the pumpkin patch; the Sunbean adopts a gourd.  I found it molding in her closet last week.

 November:  Little Dude starts taking a bath like a big kid.

December:  We celebrate a fun Christmas season with family and friends!

Happy New Year!

Best of 2010

January:  We begin what turns into a year of massive home-improvement.  As of December 28th, no wall had gone unpainted.  Phew!

February:  MacGyver gives me the Nike+ accessories for my iPod, and I begin half-marathon training.

March:  We visit my grandma in Florida.  We love the beach.

April:  MacGyver completes the engine swap on his z.  He's got skillz.

May:  MacGyver and our oh-so-helpful friends and family add a deck onto the back of our home.  Those frightening-looking posts are now a beautiful pergola with a porch swing.

June:  The Sunbean is potty-trained.  Oh, happy day.

July:  Nana and Bampa bought a boat.  We enjoyed lots of naps on long boat rides to get ice cream.

August:  We visit the Ohio State Fair and introduce the Sunbean to the joy that is the giant slide.  Also, our baby girls turns 2.

September:  We find out Baby #2 is on the way, just four days before what would have been my first half-marathon.  This proves that we aren't very good at math.

October:  The Sunbean is over the moon to be an owl for Halloween.  Also, overly adorable.

November:  We celebrate my birthday with friends in Columbus.  Caught this pic on our way there outside of the temple.

December:  I got a gourmet chef for Christmas.  Just today, she made me onion and eggplant ice cream.  Delish.

Happy New Year!
