Welcome to the fourth annual installment of the family photo album in review. Cuteness and general entertainment value are courtesy of Sam, Mason and Ben. Music mix comes from the mind of DJ Commuter Daddy, contributions from various artists, and a couple of voice clips from Mason. Easy mixing of our photos and videos enabled by Animoto:
It was a jam-packed year, which is likely something a family of 5 could say about every year, but we really did have an active year in 2011. Highlights included a surprise 40th birthday trip to San Juan; a new role in my day job; first trip to SXSW; completion of a long overdue bachelor's degree; coaching stints for basketball, soccer and baseball, the latter of which included an extended season with Mason's all-star team; a couple of band concerts and parades for Sam; Ben's first seasons of baseball, basketball and hockey, plus learning to ride a bike and losing his first two teeth in one day (not related to riding the bike); a guys' weekend for me at Pinehurst and a girls' weekend for Brandy in Kittery; excursions to see the Harlem Globetroters, Bourne Braves, Boston Red Sox, Providence Bruins and the Museum of Science, plus a couple of family golf outings; driveway was paved and basketball hoop was installed (twice); escaped most of the wrath of Tropical Storm Irene; and we hosted Thanksgiving dinner, while later attending Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve gatherings with friends.
Putting this slideshow together is another one of my favorite activities this time of year. It takes a while to pull it off, but I have equal amounts of geeky fun mixing the music and picking just the right amount of photos to fit the soundtrack. I hope you enjoy the results.
