Two highlights of the year

Of course, the biggest highlight is the addition of our beautiful baby boy Aben. He is now the light and joy in our lives. He grows so much each week! He now:
  • Can ALMOST sit up on his own :)
  • Has two bottom teeth :(
  • Laughs at his mom and dad (especially when he gets slap happy)
  • Eats and absolutely loves solid foods
  • And is starting to become a momma's boy, but he sure loves to play with his daddy!
And for our second highlight: Sean and I both graduated from BYU!
Our last semester was the hardest four months of our lives, but we did it! Jerry and Ashley definitely saved us and helped us the most with our little boy, and we couldn't have done it without them. Sean now has a BS in Neuroscience, and I have a BS in Nursing. It's nice to be done with school, but I'm not quite sure how to be something other than a student. I guess we have time to figure that out :).

While many other things happened this past year, these two things were the definite highlights and the two things I will always remember and cherish about 2011.
