2011... what a year!!

2011

What a wild and wonderful year! 

It all started out in Steubenville OH with lots of snow!!

I was pregnant...

We went "duck hunting" 

and Auburn won the National Championship!!

We moved to a new apartment in the snow at 38 weeks pregnant.

We had a very interesting valentines day filled with Bronchitis, Rice a roni, fevers, and.... contractions!!!

Joseph Louis Martin was born Feb 15!!

Truly a miracle! 

We love him so so much!!

There was TONS more snow so we stayed inside a lot!

But we did not mind :)

Joseph's first trip to Alabama at one month old.

He was baptized on St. Joseph's feast day :)

We enjoyed being three in Ohio and having lots of quality fun time together.

Celebrated our one year anniversary going to dinner at the Grand Hotel and enjoying wedding cake (it was still tasty).

Philip got a job in Mobile and we celebrated by going to Niagara Falls! 

We bought a house!!!!!!

Joseph kept growing...

Had lots of fun family outings!

Went to an Auburn game!!!

Traded in our car which was so good to us in the Ohio snow....

for two new cars :) 

It is so wonderful to have two cars! 

Our first family Christmas card.

Had our first fun Christmas morning in our wonderful new house!

I just can't believe how much Joseph has grown in the past year and that he will be one so soon! 2011 brought us so many changes and was very eventful.  I have a hard time believing that 2012 will be as crazy but I am sure it will be... and I CANT WAIT!!

Happy New Year everyone!
