2011 "Farrar Style"...
2010 came to an end, and we were sad to see it go. It was the best year of my life to date, and I am sure that Derik would say the same. The best thing that ever happened to Derik and myself, Abigail's birth, brought the year in with a bang. She was a month early, and the day she came was exciting and terrifying all at the same time!
We have watched Abbie grow so much in the last 10 months, and we arent sure how she has grown up so fast! We watched her smile for the first time, eat baby food for the first time, cut her first tooth, sit up, wave, learn baby babble, and grow more hair than we know what to do with! She is growing so fast, and in just over a month we will be celebrating her first birthday!
While Abbie was pretty much our year in one word, we had some other things woth mentioning!! We visited Derik's family in Delaware. We went up in June, and it was so wonderful to see the family. Abbie got to meet Pa Reade and Taddie, and seemed to enjoy the visit! We stayed with Susan and Mike, Derik's aunt and uncle, and got to spend some time with them and their girls!!
We also got to take Abbie on her first beach trip! She wasn't an unsupported sitter yet, so the trip was not as much fun for her as we thought it would be! However... she did enjoy the beach, she LOVED the sound of the ocean (it put her to sleep) and she liked the feel of the waves breaking on her feet! She also really enjoyed a few dips in the pool with mom and dad!
I also got to take Abbie on her first camping trip... now that was an experience! My mom's family had a family reunion camping trip, and we took Abbie. She again was not sitting, and that was NOT an easy camping trip! We did have fun though... with the exception of the evening that the skies opened up and POURED rain!!!
We ended the year with Abbie's first Christmas! She was too precious opening her gifts from us, our parents, and Santa. It snowed most of the day, and was the most beautiful white Christmas ever! It was the first white Christmas in 46 years here in Greensboro! It was absolutly perfect.
As we look towards the future, we hope that 2011 is as good to us, or better, than 2010 was. Although we are not sure that it can beat it!
We, as usual, made resolutions for the upcoming year...
Derik and I both want to read the bible cover to cover.
We are both going to make an effort to work out and get fit.
I have a personal resolution to be a better wife and mom
and Abbie's resolution is to learn to walk and talk... and to go to the zoo!!!
2011... here we come!
