2011 In the Passe House

2011 was a pretty low key year for us! We didn't have any home improvement projects and we had a pretty healthy year.

Chris accepted a promotion in April and began his new position as a manager of rehab services at the end of May. He helped coach his wrestlers to their first state team qualification in Tremper's history. He was able to get out on his boat with my dad several times over the summer to go fishing. His 7th wrestling season began in November and the team is doing fairly well this season.

I began my 6th year teaching kindergarten at Union Grove Elementary and am really enjoying my class this year. I've gotten into my photography quite a bit more. Thanks to my friends for having babies this year; it was fun doing newborn photo shoots!

Ava continues to grow and amaze us each day. She turned two in November and acts like she's 12! She loves reading books, playing with her babies, playing outside, and doing anything related to Dora! Her favorite books are Good Night Moon and Tickle Monster. She started gymnastics in August and really seems to enjoy it. She does somersaults and jumps all over the house now. She takes after me and loves her Bon Jovi! When we get into the car she asks to listen to him loud. She's started to listen to him to fall asleep at night. When Chris turns it on for her she says, "Rock out, Dad!"

We hope that 2012 treats us well and we'll be able to get into a new home before the next school year starts. We hope you have a happy and healthy 2012!
