Goodbye 2011

Wow, what a year! This year has just flown by! 2011 was a pretty good year...we had many firsts with Jack: first time sleeping through the night, teeth, crawling, swimming, words, going to the beach, walking, running, haircut, Halloween, and of course his first birthday! Jack has developed the best little personality. He loves to talk and ask his version of questions (pointing while saying "that"). He also loves to laugh and give kisses. He is sleeping longer through the night at this point. We put him down around 8 pm and he sleeps in until 7:30 am. It is so nice to wake up, make coffee, and feed the dogs before Jack gets up.  :)
Gabe and I have had a great year as well. Gabe is still working for the Mariners and loves his job. The chaos of spring training will start up before we know it, but it is so nice to have him off work from October-January. I am still teaching and coaching at Centennial. I am getting ready to start another season of boys volleyball in February so my life will become super crazy too.
We are so thankful to have such great friends around us. We went on a great trip to Michigan this year and are looking forward to heading to Vegas with the crew at the end of January. We celebrated new year's eve at the Putz house again this year. Each year this party gets bigger and better! We had a blast...maybe too much fun because Gabe and I were not ourselves today... :(
Thanks for being good to us 2011---it's time to see what 2012 holds for us!!
