A year to remember

The too tired, desperate for a blog post, lonely, hungry mommy edition.

Babies grew... And grew... And are now toddlers.
Jake had a surprise 2 month deployment.
Settled in Oklahoma during that time.
Little Gym enrollment for H.
The Holland wedding!
A super awesome Pirate party for my favorite 2 year old boy.
Colorado trip.
2 week hospitalization from Kawasaki's for H.
A preppy, pink crab 1st birthday party for our baby girls.
Lots of beach trips... That failed!
Kitty joins the family!

We survived our first hurricane, Irene.
Cheered on our Cowboys in an awesome football season.
And celebrated a WS championship for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Celebrated Halloween as Buzz Lightyear, a giraffe, and a teddy bear.
Enjoyed my first Marine Corps ball with one handsome man.
Went through 3 copies of Toy Story 1 & 2, and 2 of TS3.
Started speech therapy with H.
Drove 24 hours to Texas for Thanksgiving.
My baby girls switched to toddler beds.
Had the most unforgettable Christmas.

Pictures would only devour this post so we will just leave all the flashbacks off for now. With a New Year before us, and the inevitable deployment rapidly approaching, all I have to think about is how much more love, excitement, thankfulness, and memories we get to have in 2012. Our babies are now toddlers and we have 3 under 3, bringing only more adventure and fun to our household. 2012 will be a year mostly WITHOUT a husband and a daddy, but we will strive to make our days together the most enjoyable and memorable as possible.

Thank you to all of our family and friends that have loved my babies unconditionally, prayed for us, given us so much, and always let us know that you were there. Our hearts are full of joy and gratitude for each and every single one of you. God bless you and may this New Year be full of laughter, fun, and loving hearts.
