2011 Review

January 2011
2011 began with a trip to the beach, the frozen, cold beach at Indiana Dunes State Park for Jeff's birthday.  Who says you can't go to the beach for your winter birthday? 

February 2011
February we were back to the dunes area to attend a special wedding. 

March 2011
In March, a teenager was born!  I have to say he is not your typical teenager.  He is a fine young man who has plans to use his giftedness in big ways!   (Watch out Microsoft.) 

April 2011
The last day of April, we headed out on our first camping trip in our new-to-us camper! 

May 2011
In May, we were back to the beach.  This time we could stay awhile. 

June 2011
In June, for Father's Day we camped near my father's home.  It rained, but we kept dry in the camper.  Thankfully, we were able to swim one day in the fun pool. 


July 2011
In July, we celebrated Grace's 12th birthday in Chicago! 

August 2011
August found us beginning 4th, 6th, and 8th grades.  Surprisingly, we did not go camping in August. 

September 2011
But, oh in September, we were back and enjoying spectacular views! 

October 2011
Trevor turned 10 in October.  Jeff and I also celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary.  I also had a birthday in October. 

November 2011
There was much to be thankful for in November. 

December 2011
And much to be celebrated in December!  2011 was a great year and I thank the Lord for His faithfulness to us. 

Happy New Year!

  3. Super review Jenn. I was just going to do a review & goals post, but yours will make mine look not so picturesque. :) I see a camping theme running through your 2011. Wow, I forgot that you just started using your camper in April...it seems like you have had it for 2 years now. It looks like it was a great year for you all. May God Bless your 2012 all the more. ♥

  4. I think I miss some with my slow internet! I didn't realize you had a camper. I knew you went camping, but didn't know that! We got a pop-up camper back in August. We enjoyed 2 trips to state parks this fall. Love it! Can't wait for spring...actually I'd love to try a at least one winter trip. Not sure if that will happen; maybe late winter.

    Great review of your year. Blessings on 2012!
