Some other memorable things that happened in 2011 that we don't have pictures to document are me getting a new job (still doing taxes but just at a different accounting firm), becoming official members of First Baptist Church of Zachary (we have really met some great friends there and have really enjoyed getting involved) and Josh passing his Professional Engineering exam (huge accomplishment!).
We have really enjoyed 2011!! It is a true joy every day to be parents of these three beautiful children. Watching them continuously learn and explore is such an enjoyable experience for me and I try to soak up and enjoy every single moment as the time is passing so quickly!!
In general we are thankful for our health, many blessings that God has given to us that we are so undeserving of. We are blessed with loving and supportive families and friends. Thank you for all that you do for us and the unending love that you show us. We look forward to 2012 with each and every one of you!!!
