2011 was such an important, monumental year for us...

in a nutshell:

-we started the year off with carson turning 4,

-followed immediately by moving into a new home after living at our previous home for 4 years. 

{it was such a welcomed and blessed move.} 

-shortly thereafter, our harper turned three...which also means potty-trained!-for the first time in 4 years, we were no longer changing diapers! 

-but as we all know, that was short-lived ;) because in June, we found out we were expecting baby #3! 

-we celebrated four years of marriage (which is no small feat!).

-we also had a huge scare with harper. there was a period of frantic concern that he may have cancer after finding a large mass in his leg. 

-soon after harp had surgery (and we found out that it was NOT cancer!), 

-carson started school. (read: field trips and class parties, galore.)

-we found out we would be welcoming our third baby boy into our family.

-and after a couple of years of hard work, i finally obtained my associates in both general education and pre-social work.

and as the new year starts, we know our lives will be changing once again. this year will start off with our oldest baby turning 5 (in less than 2 weeks!), the arrival of our newest baby sometime in February, our middle baby turning a whopping 4, celebrating 5 years of marriage, and another son starting school.

so from our family to yours...
