Housewarming party

We had the most amazing and fun housewarming party!! There is nothing like having all of your friends and family - everyone you love the most in the world - in one home. We feel so blessed to have such amazing friends and family!

Painting with pumpkins!

Trip to Mazza's

Pumpkin at Mazza's is a yearly tradition for most Vermonters. I know it is for us! Our girls love picking pumpkins there, especially with Acadia's preschool class. This year was no different!

Spa day

We invited some friends over for spa day...the girls had so much fun!

Grandma B.

My Grandma was an amazing woman. Strong. Loyal. Funny. Easy going. She was our rock. She held our family together. She raised 4 amazing children and helped raise my cousins and I.

Every year since I was a child, my sister and I would spend Christmas Eve at my Grandma's house. We'd wake up on Christmas morning with my Grandparents, Aunt and father and Miche and I would just stare at all the presents in front of the tree. Just begging to open them. Just one or two?? Pllleassee?? My Grandma would always let us open our stockings right away and we'd wait for the rest of the family to arrive before opening the presents. I seriously had the best
Christmas mornings growing up.

The other day I was listening to old messages on my phone, deleting them and saving the ones I needed. All of a sudden I heard, Hello, love. It's Grandma. I'd like to have your new address. And...can you get it to me....today or tomorrow? I, ah...I don't know it, you see. Ok, love. Bye bye.

I will save this message forever. I loved hearing her voice, as shocked as I was to hear it at first. I played it about 5 times and smiled the whole time.

I love you, Grandma. The whole wide world and a big, big penny...

Our new favorite pizza place

I am just bursting with happiness at our new move!! We LOVE Essex Junction. We LOVE our neighbors. We LOVE that we can walk or ride our bikes anywhere. And - we now LOVE Rocky's! Our new favorite hangout. We've already been there several times for creemees and pizza. And I see a lot more visits in our future!
