farewell to 2011

Well 2011 was a very busy year for us. Alex Paul was born in January. At 5 weeks old he got RSV and was in the hospital for a week. By spring the doctors discovered that I had postpartum hypothyroidism, and I started the fun of trying to find the right medication levels. Ryan begun his last year of grad school and both excitement and stress came as we started looking to the end of the PhD and on to a post-Doc out of state or a local job. More mental/physical health roller-coasters for me through the winter, but things are improving. Our kids have improved in school and at home. Alex is now 1 yr. and walking everywhere. The twins will be getting baptized in April and are growing up so much. Lydia loves kindergarten and dance class. Ethan is as busy as ever.
We have so many blessings and wonderful family and friends that have supported us, loved us, and given lots of service throughout this past year. We love you all and wish you a wonderful year filled with joy and peace.
Love, the Jackson family
