The 2011 Blurb Book

I’ve posted in the past about that I get made at Blurb.com every year (you can see more here), but I couldn’t help but share the newest addition to our collection. Yes, I do realize that we are now in the third quarter of 2012, but cut me some slack, 2011 was a huge year for us. In fact, the 2011 book was twice the size of any other year we’ve done so far. I blame a few things, but mostly, I think it was the addition of Mr. Tate. Technically, he’s a part of the 2010 book, but only for a few pages at the end since he was born around Christmas. So the 2011 book was the first book full of both kids, which led the amount of pictures to double. In addition, Lu graduated preschool, started Kindergarten, we went to Disney World…let’s just say there were a TON of photos to choose from. I’m super excited about how it turned out!

Each book is named after one of our favorite songs* from that year, and this year’s was “All I Need” by Radiohead. This has significance for us since we finally were able to see Radiohead in concert (a 2011 Christmas gift from Trent to me!) and because of the words themselves. This little family, plus my amazing friend network, is really all I need.

The cover photo is from our photoshoot with Nicole Coleman last fall. Have I mentioned how much I miss her? Wah! I miss you Nicole.

I love seeing all of my books lined up on a shelf or laying out on a coffee table and pulling them down to remember all of the amazing times we’ve had together. I am pretty freaking lucky.
