2012 Wrap Up

This 2012 wrap up is a bit late, but honestly, that's how all of 2012 has felt, a little bit late. But what a year it's been for us. The beginning of the year started out with Bob saying, "You're almost 20 weeks pregnant, you have to tell people." and me responding by, "I've got plenty of time."  Plenty of time to continue to be in denial.  Although 2012 sped by, here's some of our highlights:
Fun at the botanical Garden
  • I almost finished the Star Trek Quiet Book. I've yet to bind it, but it'll happen I swear.
  • We traded in Rosie the Cavalac for a Prius V 5
  • With the unseasonably warm winter, I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time to spend with my camera and branching out of aperture priority into manual mode.
  • We finished the study, bathroom off of the study and completed the laundry
Calm before the storm.














  
  • It basically rained babies this year
  • Baby D
    • Added a new niece to the family from my brothers side
    • Added a new nephew to the family from Bob's side
    • Announcement of a new niece from Bob's side
    • Added a new 'nephew' from the Spisich side, whose first birthday we had the pleasure of hosting
    • Chicago gang all having babies
    • Oh yeah, we had a baby
  •    We installed an electric fence. You're thinking, did you just put in a physical fence a couple of years ago? Well yes, except our circus dog, Sheeba, can clear a 5 foot fence as if it was an inch tall. The last straw came when Ani was 7 days old, Sheeba jumped the fence, and I had to chase her down with the new baby. Sheeba was 3 houses down barking at our neighbor on her back porch. 4 days later, the fence went up.
 
  •  The Color Run - happiest 5K on the planet 
  • Lots of visitors at the Pitt, some have compared us to a bed and breakfast
  • Another year of good friends getting married





So yeah, the year has been a blur. So much has happened, and we've had so little sleep, that I don't think it's all sunk in yet. So here's some of our
goals for 2013:


  • We're starting the kitchen!!
  • The master bathroom?? (Slipper tub!)
  • Landscaping?
  • Tri Goddess Tri
  • Sleep, sleep and more sleep. If that means I'm going to have to start giving Ani whiskey before bed, so be it :-)
Baby Brigade
  •  A finished living room with possible new furniture additions
  • Going back to healthy choices - this one's for me, I mean Bob still has 0% body fat, and I feel like I'm 95% body fat. It's not babies that make you make unhealthy decisions, it's the lack of sleep. "Getting More Lean in 2013"
  • Yoga for me. I hate to even type it because I hate yoga so much, but it's so bloody good for my back. So there, now I've typed it so it must be so.
So here's to another year of renovations at the Pitt, but more importantly a year of family and love.
