Happy New Year

Our year in review;

January;

We announced to the world that we were expecting baby number 2!

February;

We discovered that our soon to be baby was in fact a baby BOY! Avery got to really play in the snow for the first time!

March;

We had fun at a couple playdates, I could really tell how independent Avery was becoming. We also celebrated all the March birthdays; Me, Chelsea, Rusty and Cindy.

April;

Nothing really big this month but we did celebrate Easter and Avery loved hunting for eggs.

May;

Avery got to go to the zoo and Great wolf Lodge (an indoor waterpark). She still talks about both. We also went to Oklahoma where my sister hosted a baby shower for Liam and I.

June;

This month was HOT and momma was big and tired!! :) We celebrated Chris' birthday and had a texas swim/babyshower!

July;

Liam David was born but was born with RDS(Respiratory Distress Syndrome) and spent 11 days in the NICU

August;

Avery got to meet her brother for the first time and we finally brought him home on Aug 3! This month Avery got to go out on the boat, she loved it!

September;

Avery started Mothers Day Out! We took a trip to Oklahoma to see Great Papa and Mommom, they got to meet Liam for the first time.

October;

We celebrated Avery's 2nd birthday at the pumpkin patch. Liam had become quite the little charmer and a chunk! Avery really enjoyed trick or treating this year on Halloween.

November;

We took several trips to Oklahoma. We also celebrated Thanksgiving in Arkansas with my side of the family and again in Texas with the Rhodes.

December;

Melissa got MARRIED! :)

The rest of this month was a little rough, I had a "fairly simple" outpatient surgery that landed me in the hospital(due to an infection) for 4 days just before Christmas. I am already looking forward to next Christmas because I still feel like I missed out this year. Just happy I was at least at home for Liam's 1st Christmas.

What a crazy and amazing year! Hands down the best moment was the birth of Liam. He has blessed our little family beyond my imagination. I'm pretty sure we have the most amazing kiddos around. Looking forward to seeing what 2012 has to offer :)

Happy New Year to all our friends and family!
