Good bye 2011




Orion, Aka Hamhocks

We survived! The holidays are over, the last day of the year is here and all my family is returning to their homes. The decorations are coming down and soon, only the memories of 2011 will remain. This has been an interesting year for us, and by far the best memory for 2011 will be the birth of Orion. As we go into 2012, I anticipate and welcome new opportunities, new challenges, and new adventures.

What a great way to end the year, surrounded by family.We had many laughs, lots of great food, drink, and deserts. Apollo added to his repertoire of things "not to say" (courtesy of his aunt Debbie and Uncle Gooch), and kept us all entertained with his naughty and funny phrases.  I offer few words on this post but opted for some snapshots instead of some of the sillier moments of the past week, along with some Apolloisms. Enjoy! 

Gooch and Kim with the four boys

Apollo's phrase of the week was; "I'm gonna spank your big ol' butt!" (Thanks Deb!)

Honorable mention; "Shut Your Pie Hole!" (Thanks Gooch)

YiaYia's Favorite; "I need to check my email." (He gets that from his mom when she try's to get her iPad away from him.)

Apollo's favorite song and dance; written and choreographed by Apollo. Picture Apollo with his hip thrusted to the side, his torso twisted, one hand clenching his butt cheek, hopping in a circle, while singing (and in tune I might add), "Shake my body, and put it in the garbage..."

  May the New Year bring you love, laughter, health and prosperity. Happy New Year everyone!
