All because...

A sign above our hallway reads "All because two people fell in love...".  I felt that was a fitting title for a blog devoted to my wonderful family.  Currently, we have three members... Audie (39), Melissa (32), and Elizabeth (14 months).  2011 was a jam-packed year...... Just a few pics to get you caught up and then I will attempt to 'keep up' with our life by posting important, interesting, or just plain normal events this year. 

Events of 2011 (that I remember at the moment...):
*Nephews, Seth and Nathan, born
*Audie's neck surgery (didn't help much, still in intense back, arm, and neck pain)
*Elizabeth mastered crawling, walking, babbling, hugging, and kissing... loves to be read to, sang to, walked around, and play during the night.  (Literally.... she's not a big fan of sleeping.... I'm so excited when she sleeps through the night, not a normal occurrence though : (  )
*Landon turned 1 in May. Elizabeth turned 1 in October.
*I started another year in Kindergarten, which I love!
*Working on my masters in education with a specialization in integrating technology into the classroom.
*Audie finished his '72 Torino.... it's absolutely gorgeous!
*Celebrated Jacqueline's (Audie's mom) 74th birthday at our house this summer.
*Went to the zoo, pumpkin patch, few restaurants, and probably some other places....but I can't think of any at the moment!
