January- turns out to be a month of sibling bonding, once Brycen became more mobile, Brooklyn took a liking to him. He becomes a playmate not just a baby.
Febuary- Cohen joins our daycare full time and he is an excellent little buddy. He has been one of my favorite daycare kids ever!
March- Our traditional early spring tradition to Stanley's was a hit. We went with Ben and Christine, Josh and Amanda and all the kids. We had our traditional pancake breaky and had maple syrup snow on a stick. The kids also contracted rotavirus and were very very sick for 8 days after that. Both kids ended up at the hospital needing an anti nauseau drug and rehydration. Very Very scary!
April- Brycen turns 1, he had a car cake and a big family birthday in Lisa's backyard. By the way he started walking by 11 months and he had 3 teeth by his first bday.
May- Brooklyn turns 3 and she had a daycare birthday party and a family party which was at Andrew Hayden Park, Oh and she special requested a caillou cake.
June- We are in the throws of summer fun with lots of water play, nature walks and park play. everything is better in the summer.
July- Jeff and Lisa threw me a surprise 30th birthday party and a surprise it was. It was the perfect 30th birthday filled with the perfect balance of New and old friends which was perfect for my 30th which was a bittersweet year as I always say I remember when 30 was old. On a side note Jeff got a job with L W Bray construction. It is a full time position with a stable income. Things are definitely looking up!
August- We spent are summer living the trailer life, we spent our days chasing the kids through the dirt and our nights sitting by a fire usually with booze and good friends. It was one of the best summers we have had in a long time.
September- My little bro and his beautiful fiance tie the knot. I couldn't be more happy for him, nor pick a better wife for my bro. Welcome to the fam Giulia, we wish you both a lifetime of love and laughter together. xoxox
October- The month was spent with halloween prep from crafts, baking and decorating. The kids had a blast at our Halloween party and we had a blast at the adult Halloween party that Lisa through. I just want to add this Halloween we had a white Halloween. The snow was perfect and fluffy and their was plenty of it. Needless to say we werent so lucky at Christmas..all though it was a white Christmas there was no fresh falling snow!
November- We spent the entire month trying to get Brycen to sleep in his bed, sleep through the night and wean him...we were so unsuccesful in all areas. Needless to say our New Years Resolution for 2011 is to wean him and have them both sleeping in there own beds...good thing we have a year to work on this!
December- The month was filled with Christmas prep and traditions. We even started a few new traditions that we are sure to keep up (caroling) Christmas went off without a hitch, the kids were perfect, the company was awesome and we all were spoiled with love, laughter and everything we can hope and dream for.
All in all it was a great year for us. Hoping 2011 is just as good or Better!
