I’ve neglected the blog since april sadly. I didn’t do a very good job with my picture a day either.  Here’s to more posts in 2012. First I’ll Start with my Winterish yearly review! CHEERS to a wonderful 2011!

JANUARY:

Karl and I started off the new year right at our favorite coffee place, Coffee Emporium. Neko enjoyed her favorite spot too!

FEBRUARY:

As in true winter spirit we went with several friends curling. Yes, CURLING.  Sadly, I don’t have any pictures of the actual ice-capades.  But, I do have some evidence of Karl and I dressed up as the next U.S. curling champions! We were a force to be reckoned with on ice!

We also did some traveling…

Jacksonville for the Run For Donna !  We met my family there. My sister-in-law ran her first marathon coming off a nasty GI virus. Go Chrissy! Karl and I ran the half and then ran the end with her totaling around 20 miles.  Not too bad for very little training. But a better decision than trying to run the entire thing with my longest run in months being 8 miles:)

We also got to visit the beach. Sadly a little too chilly to be swimming, but we did have a lovely time bird watching!

Then a few weeks later we met our dear friends Jeff and Jill for a weekend in NYC!

and sipped on our favorite west coast coffee, Stumptown, east coast style!

MARCH:

Just some fun home adventures.  We made some cinnamon icing/oatmeal whoopie pies, homemade peppermint/almond marshmallows ( okay so maybe those were made by Karl for Xmas 2010- but i ate them all in 2011 so that counts, right?)

And.. last but not least because she is cute. Some pictures of Neko.  I can’t resist!

Next up Spring review! and likely some more picture of neko.
