2011, the year that was.


This time last year, I could never have envisaged what 2011 had in store for me. It's been an incredible year, with lots of surprises. Trying to sell our home, travel problems, wonderful holidays, good times, worrying times, big milestones, hospital visits, having a new baby. Before we move on to 2012, here's the year that was in pictures...


January
Australia Day

We went on a Mini adventure for a weekend with some friends and had a ball

Lil-lil started preschool, a massive step for her (and me).


February

Goosey and I got to spend one-on-one time together for the first time.

Goosey got her tonsils and adenoids out.

Pink Patent Mary Janes and I went away to BabyMac-land for  a weekend.

March

A quiet month, the autumn carnival and the blogging conference the only highlights. The lowlight was nausea...

April



We announced we were expecting our third bub.



We got stuck at Sydney airport for hours in a security breach

We finally got away on our wonderful holiday and had a fabulous time.


May
My bloggy buddy sent me an INCREDIBLE package from the US.
We spent family time together on Saturdays while our home was open for inspection (we failed to sell).

I made the Kidspot Top 50 Bloggers!

Skip had a birthday.



June
We went on a road trip to Western Plains Zoo.

Lil-lil went to the fire station on her first excursion, she talked about it for the rest of the year.

July
I had a birthday and had a gorgeous night out with Skip and a great day with the girls and the bump.

The girls continued to be the best of friends and worst of enemies.
The girls started to get used to the idea of having a new baby.

I finally got to see one of my favourite bands live.


Goosey had her third birthday.

August

Goosey started preschool
Skip and I had an amazing weekend in Tassie. One of the best weekends of my life.

I developed pre-eclampsia and our precious baby boy was dragged out 6.5 weeks early.

September

September was spent in hospital getting our boy well enough to come home.

Goosey had her first ever dance concert.

October

We spent time getting to know our little boy.

Lil-lil had a birthday.

November

The girls were flowergirls and Skip a groomsman.

Goosey got up close with the firemen at preschool.

December
My mum celebrated her 70th birthday with a party at our home. 
Lil-lil had her ballet concert.
Our boy is thriving.

Lil-lil had her last day of preschool before starting big school in 2012.



Phew! No wonder I'm tired and ready for a month of relaxing! Bring on 2012! And plenty of blue skies ahead...

  4. 2011 was definitely full for you all. I love the photo reminders.

    I hope 2012 brings less of a roller coaster ride but still lots of great things for you and yours.
