Goodbye 2011

2011 was a rough year in many respects, but thankfully not in the way of Quinn. She really grew and developed this year. Her latest thing is talking nonstop (sometimes words you can recognize and sometimes not) and playing with toys. May seem like little things to some, but it is huge to us. She says "bye ma" when I go out and about to work. To me, that is music to my ears. Last night she was looking at a book sitting RIGHT NEXT TO NEAL (0% space in between), with her socks off, and her legs crossed. She is just so cute. I am so thankful that 2011 was a good year for her. Every day I think about how lucky we are as a family to have Quinn in our lives. She is just beautiful. I hope 2012 is another great year for her.

For me, I hope that 2012 is less stressful. I am making it my goal to work on stress management. I also hope to post more next year - 2011 stunk on that front, primarily because of time management with everything going on. But writing helps me, so I have to try to start out strong next year.

Hope everyone has a great 2012!
