A Summary of our lives in 2011 as we move into 2012

Another year has come and gone.  I think with every year that passes I get more sentimental.  Although I want to move on I still want to remember the years that have past - the things we have done, the people we did those things with...  As I'm sure you all know, I love taking pictures.  I don't often take pictures of others besides my kids since I feel like I am intruding.  Not everyone likes having their picture taken, even if I think the shot of them will make a nice artistic shot. That being said, if I take your photo this year, I probably won't post it on this blog unless you don't care.  I just want to get photos of the people in our lives.  Looking back I wish I had more photos of those who have passed away.  I don't have any really nice pictures of Alison or my Oma H. and I regret that.  So with a new year here I also had to decide whether I would try taking a photo a day again.  I'm not sure I will.   I think this year I am going to try something a little different.  If I have a camera stuck to my face everytime you see me, don't be surprised though!  I also think I will try to take a photo a week of each of the kids...either together or separate.  So onward we move, into 2012.  But first a little long video to summarize my kids lives in 2011.  Teagan went from being a baby to being a true toddler.  Daniel went from having no front teeth to having his front teeth but none on either side of them.  Chelsea also lost a bunch of teeth and her front teeth are growing in.  Cara started school for the first time.  In the grand scheme of things these little things don't matter but I sure found it interesting to watch how they have all grown.  You are welcome to watch this video but it is quite long and there is no music (if someone can help me figure out how to add music that would be great!) and most of these pictures have already been posted here throughout the year.
