2011 In Review

I took down our 2011 calendar and took a look through the year. Soccer and Ice Skating took up the majority of our year this year.

We also had birthday parties and fun with friends:

We took a number of trips to Yogi Bear

As well to the Brookfield Zoo, Soldier Field and Toyota Park where Andy made an appearance on the Jumbo Tron (not to mention other numerous cities for soccer tournaments):

School brought awards for leadership and art for Andy as well as a couple of band concerts. 

Beth was in the German Version of the Little Red Riding Hood play as well as the science fair:





And we can't forget the hunting successes this year:

Snow has been little this year, but we did get a chance to do a reprisal of Big Mamma from Christmas Past:

And of course fun with family during holidays:







2011 has been a good year for the Wallner family. We have completed another year in our home. Landscaping and a new deck were added this year. 

Tim and I were married 17 joyful years this year. We have made a wonderful life together and know how lucky we are to have each other.

I started my PhD this year. I have had to stop because of Walker - something for another day. However, I feel successful in knowing that I could complete it and was good at it.

Beth and I had book club this year - and activity with friends that has been fun and rewarding.

Andy turned 13 - which has allowed him to go the the PG-13 movies with friends without a parent. A milestone for him.

Thank you 2011 for a great year.  We hope that 2012 is even better!  Happy New Year Everyone!
