I had no clue when I wrote this post a year ago that we were in for the biggest surprise of our lives just a few weeks later. It certainly made 2011 our most memorable year so far.
Julian’s three months old now. I’ve been back to work for a month, and though it hasn’t always been easy, we’re adjusting pretty well to our new routine. Our little guy is eating like a champ, growing and thriving, becoming more aware and engaged and just plain fun every day. He’s also drooling up a storm lately, and chewing on anything he can get into his mouth – toys, fists, you name it. I’m thinking teeth aren’t too far off, and once that happens, the real fun of feeding him begins.
As wonderful a year as our 2011 turned out to be, I’m thinking 2012 is going to be even better.
So here’s to life’s changes, both planned and unexpected. May they teach you new things, and fill you with wonder and delight.



So very happy for you all – and best wishes for a wonderful year ahead. Happy 2012!
Happy New Year to you and Larry! xxoo
Not sure 2012 could be any better for you than 2011 was, but I wish all the best to you and your beautiful family for this coming year:)
Same to you, Winnie! And let’s make this the year we get together, okay? xo
Looking at the egg theme of last year’s post, I reckon you must have had some intuition.
Bonne année and all the best for 2012! (There were two eggs in the photo. Just sayin’ …)
Ha! Bonne année to you and the rest of the Dane clan!
Happy New Year to all THREE of you! All years seem an adventure moreso now!
Absolutely, Dave – Happy 2012 to you, Brenda and the girls!
It’s been great to see your family grow this year!
Thanks, Liz! Wishing you a great year!
Oh guys he is so beautiful! And I’m so happy to have found you here still writing. May your 2012 be filled with health and happiness! xoxo
Thank you so much! All the best in the New Year!
