I can't believe it's 2012!  There is something about a new year that gives you a clean slate.

Let's take a look at what was accomplished in 2011!

*Diagnosed my oldest with Aspergers, and am working to help him integrate into everyday life
*Visited Disney World
*My husband graduated Nursing School and got a job, to begin this year!
