Easter 2008

Nana came down for a visit on Easter Sunday. We had an egg hunt and then went to check out a playground we haven't been to before. It was great! In addition to the playground there was a large pond with geese to check out. Even though it was in the 40's, we saw the first ice cream truck of the season!

Trip to Arthur Avenue

On Good Friday, Jackson and Daddy slept in while I went to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx with the girls (my mom, sister and friends Jill and Joann). We shopped for delicious eats like fresh pasta, bread, cheese, sausage, cookies and cannolis (my favorite). So much fun!

Angus the Pup

Here is the newest addition to the family. Anna and Nick are the proud parents of Angus, a yellow lab. He is a sweet boy (and sleepy too!). Check out the link to his blog on the right.

Visit to Steamboat

We've been in Steamboat Springs, CO since March 1 visiting Grandma Carol and Grandpa Rick. Its an annual trip we make to get some skiiing/riding in and to celebrate Carol's birthday on March 6. Aunt Anna & Uncle Nick came out for 5 days and we overlapped with Aunt Meaghan for several days as well. We've had lots of sun and snow - a perfect combination! The other day we took Jackson on a hike along the Yampa River. He walked most of the way and then caught a sled ride on the way back. We stopped for a while to watch a couple of Chocolate Labs jump into the river to catch snowballs and checked out some cows (and a tractor) on a farm in the distance. Last March he cried when we snowshoed this trail and towed him behind us in the sled so we had to carry him the whole way. It's a good thing he liked it this year because he has put on some weight since then!

Settled in

Finally! Things are falling into place and we are settled in. (OK there are still a few unopened boxes here and there but its obviously not stuff we desperately NEED). We are really loving Westfield so far. Here is a quick tour of our new space. I have skipped our bedroom and the guestroom / office as they are still works-in-progress. Will post those pictures later!

Come on in! The entry has a nice sized

closet and space for my green desk.

Some Kitchen views. Its a funky shape but 

we were able to fit our red kitchen island.
