Waving Goodbye to 2011

New Year's Eve night was kind of a sad night. Ryan and I talked about how much we enjoyed 2011. It was a very good year for our family.  I feel so blessed and appreciative for the blessings God poured out onto us. Here are some main events from this year.

The obvious main event was Adiah Allan was born on December 21st. Healthy and already almost out of newborn clothes. 

He only saw ten days of 2011 but we are looking forward to having him grow in 2012!

Ryan finished his second year of med school by nailing his step one boards.

He went on a mission trip to El Salvador with the Christian Medical Association over Spring Break. He was able to help a lot of people in need with medical care. 

He was selected to go to the Betty Ford Center in California and work with the patients. He really enjoyed it. 

Started third year of med school. He also has been able to work on some neat research.

Ryan had the privilege and the honor to deliver our New addition to the family Adiah Allan. It was an amazing moment for both of us!

I was elected Secretary of the Student Advocate Association (med student wives/significant others group). I have enjoyed being a part of such a great group of ladies and gentlemen. It really has been a great support group for me throughout this process. 

I was able to be apart of my sister's wedding. It was such a great experience and the ceremony was beautiful.

I started homeschooling Audra Leigh. It has been so fun to watch her learn and grow.

I started a book club in January and it has grown throughout the year. I love having a monthly meeting to get together with my friends and talk about one of my favorite things... BOOKS! 

I was able to give birth to my little sweet boy! 

Audra had a great year of firsts. She is my sunshine!

She played soccer in the Spring. She enjoyed running back and forth following the ball. She wasn't interested in kicking the ball, but she was great moral support for her team. :)

She started Ballet in the summer. She LOVES dancing. Her teacher says she is a natural.

She turned 4 years old and had a super hero birthday party. She was spider girl and had a batman cake. Then got to go to her first Barnum and Bailey Circus.

She has started learning bible verses. It is so awesome to hear her recite God's word. I am a very proud momma!

She fell in love with the Rangers! We enjoyed watching the World Series.

She has taken her role as Big Sis very seriously! She loves her baby brother.

A few other events!

Spontaneous trip to Winter Park with family!

First family vacation to New Orleans! 

Found out we were pregnant! 

Annual trip to Belton with Ryan's family.

Wow... 2012 is here. Ryan and I brought the New Year with excitement and anticipation to see what God has in store for us. I pray everyone a year of blessings and hope! I can tell this year will be amazing! Happy New Year!
