A Year in Numbers

To truly embrace my inner-nerdiness, I took the time to look back at the 2011 year and try to capture the many things that happened (most of them good).  While it is not an all-inclusive list, it is kind of fun to see.

• 1 Preschooler, 1 1st grader, 1 3rd Grader, 1 Chef Mickey breakfast, 1 day tubing with friends, 1 Dierks Bentley Concert, 1 Cubs game, 1 Bears game, 1 Pink Party, 1 Tractor Party, 1 3rd grader who made the all -A honor roll, 1 sneaky husband, mother, and sister giving 1 pair of new skis to K8
• 2 holiday concerts, 2 showcases, 2 lost teeth for Owen, 2 pairs of new skis for Ken, Ken's 2nd year of being superintendent of the golf course
• 3 days with Keys Cousins in Florida, 3 pints of K8's blood donated, 3 bellydance performances, 3 ER visits (1 for Owen, 1 for Mitchell, 1 for Denny), 3 days skiing in the U.P. for Ken,  and 3 days of the 3 Baleiko Babes in San Francisco.

• 6 years of Owen, 6 chickens (and their 1 very fancy Chicken Condo)
• 7 Saturdays of soccer
