New England, New Family

 The pictures do not do justice to our trip back east... memories to last a lifetime and cousins/ aunts/ uncles/ grandparents we didn't know we had been missing all of our life... it was picture-perfect New England at Thanksgiving... leaves, clear sky, family football game, Macy's balloon parade, laughter, and relationships filled with inside jokes, love, music, traditions, full bellies and lots of spirit.. (and spirits.)

Leo loves his cuzzie just as much as C & J do

Palm Springs

We love the desert...so close, yet a great getaway. Fun spent with Justin's siblings to celebrate Jeremy's bday.

What's not to love about desert life? Leo was chillin' all weekend long..
Kelly won the fight with Julia to get a photo here.. ha.

Woodbury University Graduate!

We are so proud of Julia, the latest college grad. So exciting and emotional to see the caps and gowns and realize they're all official, jobless grown-ups now.. and to think, the next graduate in the family will be Jadyn? Is that right?? wow!! time is flying.

Grateful for family and the great outdoors

Not to rub it in for the rest of the country, I mean, we WERE wearing down jackets and beanies... but it was gorgeous weather at the beach for a fun and festive Thanksgiving week, 2010... full of tons of food, surfing, campfiring, biking, dirt and laughs
