January brought us Madeline's first smile, our first wedding anniversary, and Dan's first trip to a National Championship football game.
There was a first tooth, followed by a second, third, fourth, and fifth. My personal favorite was the first word (dada, of course) followed VERY closely by the second (duck) and many more to be discussed in a later post. The first laugh has grown into a red-faced, belly chuckle that I absolutely LOVE!
We had a first trip to Greenville to visit family, then in March we had a first visit to Charleston (for both Madeline and me) when Uncle Ben and Aunt Elizabeth got married.
There was a first Valentine's Day...

A first Fourth of July...
A first Halloween...
A first Thanksgiving...
And a first birthday...
Look how she's grown!!
This was also my first year to have a real Christmas tree. It's my first year teaching in Alabama, as well as my first time teaching seniors. (Wow. That's all I have to say.)
I asked Dan if he had experienced any firsts this year, but he couldn't think of any. Hmmm...I have one! Dan watched The Wiggles for the first time this year. Ha! I knew there was something!
2011 will bring lots more firsts, a million surprises, and countless things for which to be thankful.
As for you, loved one, I hope 2011 brings you everything you've been praying for and more. I want you to have true joy. I hope your burdens are lightened. I pray that you laugh more than you cry. I want you to know that you are loved this year.
Love, peace, blessings, and a Happy New Year!!!
