Wrapping up 2011 (a really long post)

Catching up on the events of our Fall.

Oran and Lucy on their first day of preschool.  Lucy is so excited to finally get to go.   I love watching them make friends and love hearing them talk about their days.

Lucy loves to dance!  We are hoping to find a ballet class for her soon.

Just being silly. 

Exploring at Grandma's and Grandpa's house.  Enjoying the warm fall day.

Eating Apple Fritters at the pumpkin patch.

Oran found his pumpkin.

Lucy is a little stressed out over the slim pickings.  This is what happens when we wait until the weekend before Halloween to visit the pumpkin patch.

She found one.  Not a pumpkin but it is cute, little and bumpy!

This is where the pictures end.  November and December were busy months for us and not just in the holiday kind of way.

Dan is starting 2012 50 pounds lighter!  This past year he started running.  He ran his first 5K in the end of October and his second in November.  He has plans of running a mini marathon this Spring.

In December, Dan and I went to Texas where Dan became a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries.  What this means is no more studying and no more exams. Hooray!!!  It is a pretty big deal to us!

Maybe because Dan had a little more time or maybe because a warmer climate sounded nice; we accepted a new job in South Carolina.  So, the holidays this year were a bit of a whirlwind between getting the house ready and on the market and wanting to spend as much time with family before we moved farther away.

Right now we have been in South Carolina for three weeks.  The weather has been beautiful.  We are hoping our home sells quickly so we can find a more permanent place.  (Having all of our own belongings would be nice too.) We are happy.  We are excited for all the new adventures of 2012!
