The Year that was.....

2010 has came and gone. 2011 is here and everyone wants to start off right. "New Year's Resolutions," are funny, cause after February most people are back to their old ways. I will jump on this bandwagon as well. My resolution is to be a better friend, a great mom and wife, and a daughter/sister/aunt who everyone wants to be around.

I am making Eleanor's resolution as well, she will continue to grow, and learn how to walk. SIMPLE.

Now let's recap 2010........

January - home construction (really, the pregnant one had to waddle through construction)

February - more home construction (really, really had to waddle)

March - still more home construction (please construction boys stop saying my name and asking questions)

April - lives forever changed. Introduced Eleanor Allyn into the world (TAX DAY. 15.April)

I would say that overall, we are blessed with a good family and good friends. I have found a new travel buddy in little miss Eleanor. We have a new child to help raise and mold. We look forward to taking this experience all in and making time for our family.
