Move to Massachusetts...

Well there is a lot to update.

First, here are some newer pictures of Sammy and Anna. This set is from when Sam was about 6 weeks old:


Here are a few from Anna's 4th birthday:


Here are a few from our trip to Buffalo to visit Grams and Grampa along with the Burrells, it was baby galore! Maryanne was in Buffalo at the same time with the boys so we all got to spend a lot of time together. It was a wonderful trip!


Here is Sam at 10 weeks:


The next few weeks were the start of a new chapter for us all...we moved to Lexington Mass! Bryan's position was transferred to Cambridge and luckily my department gave me a lab to work in up there as well. So we bought an old home that needs a lot of work, but is a really great location. It's a very short commute for me (nearly impossible fete in Cambridge) and the neighborhood is wonderful. The school district is fantastic and we will be able to walk the kids to elementary school. It certainly isn't the beautiful home we left, but it will get there. We are in the middle of a major kitchen remodel as we speak! Mom and Dad came along during the move to help is run smoothly...a big thanks!

Next in..Nanny and Grandad came for a visit to see our new digs and to watch Sam as Mommy went back to work :-( They took fantastic care of Sammy boy (and of us!) The literally got Sam rolling!


Next in..Grams!! Grams came to watch Sam and help Mommy out (she worked non-stop!!). Sam and she giggled all day long!


Sam at 6 months and a trip to the park:


Sam first trip to the grocery where he was allowed to sit up front...how exciting!

Here are a couple of attempts of trying to get some good pictures for the Christmas card. You 'll have to wait until you get it in the mail to see which ones we choose!
