December update and last post of the year

This past month Tanner graduated to a toddler bed. The first week or so went great! He went to bed and stayed there until we went to get him in the morning. Lately it has been a different story. There has been getting out of bed, wandering into the halls, turning his light on and reading stories to his stuffed lion. Needless to say, you never know what you are going to find in the morning. But overall, I can't complain the good nights far outweigh the restless ones and he loves his new bed.



This Christmas was a hard one for me. I found a special place for the ornaments in memory of my brother and really seemed to miss him this year. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormones, or the busyness of the season but I really wanted him around to enjoy his nephew and lend a listening ear and carefree attitude. Anyways...I know he is celebrating the birth of Christ in a much better place and still watching over us.



So...here is looking forward to 2012. Here is what's in store for our family:
1. Tyler and I turning another year older.
2. The anticipated arrival of our new son.
3. Tyler and I running Hood to Coast (a huge relay race in Oregon) in August.
4. Tanner turning 3.
5. A fun filled, energetic year of learning how to operate as a family of 4.
Here's to 2012!
