100th POST- 100 things I'm thankful for in 2011

So I started typing this post earlier in the week and got almost done with my 100 things I'm thankful for in 2011 and lost it! :( Bummer! I started doing it again and decided against it! There are so many wonderful things and people I didn't want to do it and leave anyone out! So just a few 'things' I'm thankful for:
disposible diapers, disposible bibs, moby wrap, pacifiers, pacifier clips, bumbo, boppy, and pre-light Christmas trees.

I cannot believe I have blogged 100 posts! Time has flown by since my sweet boy was born and I have not done the best job about keeping my blog updated. I will try to do better in 2012.

We have been so blessed in 2011 and I look forward to 2012 to see what is in store for our little family of 3!

Happy New Year!
Kim

Wedding, Grandparents, & New HAIR!

Last weekend my friend from college, Heather, got married. I was lucky enough to be a bridesmaid and part of her special day. Saturday night also we had a Russell family FIRST. Nick spent the night with Gramma and Grandpa! He did great, and Mommy survived! We are so lucky to have such supportive Grandparents. Nick is so loved with 4 grandparents and 5 Great-Grandparents! Saturday night he slept in his crib at Gramma's house and did great, slept all night long. I rushed over there first thing Sunday morning, but Saturday night, its a start!
