"NYC...There's Something About You"

Corey had a job interview in NJ and we decided to make a trip out of it! After his interview, we drove about an hour to see Miss Liberty for the first time! Needless to say, the experience left more of an impact on me than I originally thought. There is something about seeing not just a statue, but something that has become an icon for liberty, freedom, justice, and peace. Deep gratitude is an understatement, but it is all that I can express.

Happy 29th Birthday Corey!

Corey's Birthday was a memorable one as we went to the Beanpot Tournament the day before he turned 29! It was an intense game between Harvard and Boston University--ranked #1. Harvard played tough, but lost during the last few minutes! The funnest part was seeing just how avid the fans of each college were--especially from Boston University. There were certainly some die-hards.
On Corey's Birthday we went to the North End, ate some lovely Italian, and stopped by Modern Pastry for a chocolate-dipped, cream-cheese-filled cannoli! Happy Birthday Corey!

Elsie is 3 Months!!

Blessing

Blessing. It was such a blessing to be home with family for this beautiful occasion. Elsie Jayne sure is lucky to have her dad, Corey give her such an inspirational and detailed blessing. We feel very fortunate to have Elsie in our lives. She has brought more happiness than we both have ever experienced. Thank you to those who came to support. Thank you to those who aided in the blessing. Thank you to Corey for always being the anchor for Elsie and me.

Time with my Couz'n Connor

"Connor" says it all. :) We had a blast with family and this kid will make anyone smile!

the GREATS in our lives

What a blessing it is to have grandparents, and for Elsie--her great grandparents!It was neat for each of them to meet sweet Elsie. One of the many treats during the holiday break was to visit my Great--Elsie's Great Great Grandma--Ruesch. It was sweet to see her reach over to hold Elsie like one of her own--even at 87 years old. She is much more frail and not as energetic as she once was, yet she will give a good smile and her eyes are as deep as they'll come with wisdom, experience, laughter, and love.

Home for the Holidays

It was so nice to be home for Christmas and to celebrate the New Year with them. Thanks to our families for making it so comfortable for us. We enjoyed all the dinners, get-togethers, and games! We love you!
