2011 Recap

Before I post pictures from the last two weekends, I figured I'd better do a recap of 2011 before it gets too far out of site!

January: We traveled to Wisconsin and rang in the New Year with Irish and Shawn. Steve turned 34. We watched the Bears lose to the Packers at Lambeau Field. Steve got to meet my dad and Sandra when we headed to their house after the game for a few days.

February: Paige turned 5! I had my baby shower in Kearney with friends and family.

March: We prepared for our baby boy. Set up the nursery, put toys together, washed, folded and rewashed and folded clothes....and waited

April: Biggest month of my life! Our sweet boy was born on April 9th. The 8th is my parent's anniversary and the 10th is my brother Ryan's birthday, so Gavin wanted a day all to himself and decided to come on the 9th! My mom, Terry and siblings came when he arrived. My dad and Sandra came a couple weeks later. We celebrated Gavin's First Easter in Kearney.
