Happy Thanksgiving! Merry Christmas! and Happy New Year!

Well first of all I should just apologize now. If I have learned anything this year, it's that I suck at updating this blog! These kids of ours, keep me extremely busy! I have mixed feelings about this year. On one side, it was awesome! Robert was born and Caroline started taking steps on her own! Super exciting and we are extremely blessed.

On the other side, I hated 2011. HATED IT! Our daughter endured way more than most 2 year olds. We started out 2011 with a brand new break, 3 hospital stays, 11 weeks in a body cast, endless weeks in a hip brace, a medical walker, and 4 trips to Omaha. OI kicked us in the ass. BUT, she is walking and that is something we just didn't know if it would or could happen. So it's a double edge sword. 2011 sucked, but it was also a great year!

I am looking forward to a much quieter, break free 2012. Web and I have learned that we have so much to be grateful for. We both have our health, we have a roof over our heads, we have 2 healthy and energetic kids, and we have faith that we can endure whatever is handed to us.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet but we wanted to say thank you. Thank you for the prayers, thank you for thinking of our Sweet Caroline when she was having a tough time. Thank you for all the well wishes on Robert.

Happy New Year! I hope this year brings you many blessings!

Love to all!
