Goodbye, 2011!

Well, there goes 2011 and what a year it was! Logan is now one and Avery is, well, almost a teenager. This was a year of many firsts; fist big family vacation (Aruba), I finished my first year at a new job (Ashley says I travel too much), and it's our first complete year as a family of four. It's been crazy and a lot of work, but well worth it and so much fun.

One year ago, Logan just laid there not doing too much and now he walks all over the house, "talks" and insists on using silverware when he eats. He has gone from a helpless baby to an active and opinionated toddler.

Avery has really expanded on her singing career with her favorite songs being "Baby"- Justin Bieber, "Someone Like You"- Adele, and "Party in the USA"-Miley Cyrus. I doubt Simon Cowell would put her through to Hollywood but he would probably let her down easy.

Ashley is becoming quite the photographer and movie editor thanks to her laptop and extreme patience. For those of you who haven't seen Logan's one year video, email Ashley and she will send you the youtube link. I feel like I do a decent job with pictures but that's probably because I use intstagram on my iPhone.

Looking back there were definitely some great times, but then again there were some not so fun times. As many people who have kids who are two or older, this is the time where they develop some strong opinions. Let's just put it this way... if Avery was a model, she would be Naomi Campbell; cell phone and all. She is not always like this, but it has been known to happen. Logan on the other hand is still "mommy's little man". However, you can really tell the difference between him and Avery at one. He likes to roughhouse a lot more but is still a mama's boy at heart.

All in all, it's been a great year for us. We are really looking forward to 2012 and all of the adventures that come with it.
