1. Do a 2011 book wrap up (I will end the year having finished 60 books)
2. Do a 2011 Year in Review with photos
2. Announce the 2012 theme
But we're ending the year with a trip so instead I'm going to announce the 2012 theme with the wrap ups coming next week.
A little history here... I declared 2010 The Best Year Ever. AND IT WAS. But it was crazy and exhausting and overwhelming and too much. Best Year Ever is not a sustainable pace.
I slowed it down in 2011, declaring it The Year of More. Oh and was it ever more. More success at Jon's job than we ever imagined. More success in my photography business than we ever imagined. But it came with a downside as well. More difficult terrible things happened to loved ones this year than ever before. Both Jon and I gained weight, ending the year with MORE.
I had to think long and hard about the 2012 theme. I'm trying not to focus on what could be the potential downside of this but 2012 will be
The Year of Connection
In this crazy busy fun life, I feel like I've lost a lot of time with my friends and loved ones. I'd like to change that in 2012. Call my sister more. Spend more time laughing with friends on the phone. Walk away from the computer.
And with that, I am walking away from the computer to go visit Irene and family. 5 boys 5 and under, SEND HELP AND WINE.
Happy new year, everyone.

Backward is good. If it feels right, go for it.
I think all of us will like the year of connection quite a bit. Sounds wonderful.
As for sending help, all I could think of was sending Michael. I'm evil.
cool theme! have a great trip!
Perfect theme. Energizing, not draining. Love it!
I like it! There is just something exciting about a phone call from an old friend or loved one.
Have a testesterone infused trip. You and Irene will have to dedicate a bathroom for seats down only.
Great theme, awaiting to see where the new year takes you.
2012 is going to kick ass, I can just feel it. For everyone! I'm so looking forward to connecting with you in February!
"Connect" with new blog friends in Baltimore, please! :-)
And -- I'm loving Nate's contemplative look in that last photo. He's gonna give the ladies fits with that one someday.
