New Year's Eve 2011

And
a
new
year
begins...















I
had
a
great
2011!

Full
of
biking...

travel...

and
photography.

And
as
I
face
2012

I realize
it
will
be a
year...

of
great
change...





for
my
family...

TJ
graduating
high
school....














moving
on
into
his own
life.

Will
he
be
scholar...

or
forge
another
path?

KC's
just
had
the best year
of her
life!

Now
she
returns
to a
precarious
Egypt...

and then
senior
year
at
ASU!

Al
is
in
South
America...

What
will
she
do?

And when
will
she
return
home?

Nicky
wowed
us
in
2011....

with
her
resolution
to get
out...

of
her
comfort
zone....

and
she
did!!!

And
what
about
2012?

Several
years
ago...

our
family
started
a
tradition...

of
welcoming
the
New
Year....

in
Florida!

Away
from
the
routines

and
the
relationships
of
home....

we
reflect....

on
the
year
before...

and
make
resolutions...

for

the

year

ahead.

And
what
do we hope
for
2012?

Alex -
to
find
dedication
to
something.

KC -
to
stay
in
Egypt.

Nicky -

to
find
Independence

and
TJ -
to
survive!

And
what
is
my
resolution
for 2012?

To
see
them....
...
..
