Our nephew Randon turned 3 on December 18th. We celebrated a few days later with homemade cupcakes, hot dogs, mac and cheese, and presents! Happy Birthday Randon!

Randon helped Sassy make cupcakes – you can see the joy in his face of his accomplishments. And the pursed lips is something he got from his father!

This is Mark’s little clone – they have the same face facial expressions and everything!

Randon, 3 years and Rylan, 11 months (and walking!)

We spent several evenings while at my parents house playing Beatles Rock Band. We even got my up-tight father to sing a song while Anthony drummed out on the drums and Eric rocked out on the guitar.

I snapped a few photos of Eric’s boxer, Conner too! Isn’t he precious?!?! He and I are new BBFs.

When Anthony’s family came up to New Jersey to visit in July, he and his grandmother got to talking about how amazing their spaghetti was and they want to cook it sometime. The two of them finally got their wish and cooked some amazing spaghetti. Here are a few snapshots of them.

Anthony and I arrived in Oklahoma right before the big snow storm hit the northeast. I heard Princeton received upwards of 14 inches. I’m thankfully we got out early enough. We have spent the past week and a half visiting with family and getting between 10-12 inches of snow & sleet ourselves on Christmas Eve. A white Christmas in theory seems like a good idea until all church services are canceled and you cannot leave your home. We spent a nice relaxing Christmas Eve and day at my parents home with my mom, dad, and one brother Eric. We braved the conditions on Christmas Day to go see Up in the Air with George Clooney. It was nice to get out, even for a few short hours. We were able to drive down to celebrate Christmas with Anthony’s family a day late.

Here are a few photos of the snow – by the time I took this photo a few inches had probably melted. I have lots more photos to share over the next few days, including a birthday party for my nephew, Anthony cooking dinner with his grandmother and carving a turkey, a trip to Oklahoma City, Beatles Rock Band, and much more!

I hope all my readers, clients, and friends had a wonderful, safe, and joyful Christmas!

I cannot believe I did not blog this right after but such is life! I am finally here to share our trip to Dallas October 16-18th. We flew down there for the short weekend, celebrating 7 years together. Its really surreal to go back to where we first meet.

Here are a few photos from the Texas State Fair and the game (obviously everything is fried there, including butter, moon pies, s’mores, coke, lattes, etc. grosses me out!). Anthony & my dad sat together in the upper deck while my mom and I were on the lower part behind the band (about 30 rows up). During half time we left to grab a fresh, hot, incredibly amazing corny dog. No photos of the corny dog to tempt all my readers!

Bummer that Bradford re-injured his shoulder and we lost but we enjoyed going back “home” even for a short period of time.

While visiting Oklahoma last week, Anthony and I finally met our newest nephew Rylan. He was born in January, right after the holidays. Here are a few photos from my mom’s (aka Sassy) birthday shindig at their home.

Introducing Rylan James, 5 months

Randon Mark, 2 1/2 years old

I love his expression. He loves this bouncing tigger and the joy in his face when he made tigger bounce was electric. He also helped ice Sassy’s birthday cake.

Grandpa and Rylan

Proud Grandpa (also love the look Rylan is giving Randon!)

Playing with the waterhose. Randon is obsessed with this, fortunately he isn’t strong enough to actually hold down the button so we didn’t all get wet. You can also see my parents beautiful backyard. My mom has worked hard to get it looking gorgeous.
