Let it Snow!!!

What fun it is to play in the snow! We bought Rachel a little sled and pulled her around in it throughout our yard. She giggled and squealed in delight! She is definitely our little snow baby! Rich built her a snowman and she thought that was a pretty neat thing. What a great fun-filled day that was for all of us!

Goofin' Around!

We have so much fun in our house on a daily basis. Below are just a few silly examples! Rachel just loves to "talk" on the phone.

Here Rachel stacks blocks on Daddy while he tries to catch some Z's...

Ha! Cutie Pie Rachel in her Daddy's sweatshirt. Rachel, we think it might be a little bit too big for you... perhaps it could pass for a dress!?!?

New Year Cheer!

Welcome 2008! It should be yet another wonderful year ahead. We went to the Melting Pot restraunt with our friend Mindy Levin who was visiting from out of town. We enjoyed fondue and lots of laughs on New Year's Eve.

Cheers!

Me and my Mom.

Me and Rich with our friend (and former neighbor) Mindy! Sure brought back memories of fun we've had together in times past. We miss having her across the street...

Happy New Year to Everyone! May it be a year even better than the one before!!!

Christmas - Take Two

Due to the fact that we were away for Christmas this year, we celebrated with my side of the family after our return. We had a great time seeing everyone and enjoyed being together. Here are some pictures from our belated Christmas day.

Wintergreen Resort

Wintergreen Resort equals lots of winter fun! Rich's parents live in the Wintergreen area and are members of the resort, so we decided to take full advantage of being there and made a day full of snowy fun! There are many things to do on the mountain, of which skiing and tubing are definite favorites. Below we pose in front of the sign.

Up on the mountain, here is a look at the snow tubing run.

She looked so small inside of her tube... how cute!
