What kind of Christmas Tree are you?

You Are a Cranberry and Popcorn Strung Tree

Christmas is all about showcasing your creative talents.
From cookies to nicely wrapped presents, your unique creations impress everyone.
Wrong. Andy has decided we are having a Nightmare Before Christmas Christmas this year. No popcorn on our tree, only skulls and crossbones this year for Santa. Pictures to come.

Because every girl needs a vampire book


Back from Sabbatical

I've recently returned from sabbatical and I'm now somewhat committed (at least for the moment) to undeviated blog postings. It turns out some people were checking my blog as an adroit little way to keep up with Ryane, Andy, Luke and I. 

Since it is the season of giving, and I don't have any money, the least I can do is post a picture of Ryane a few times a week. So for the few friends and relatives that read this, (I think there are 5 of you out there: Daddo, Ashley, Tash, Grandma, Melissa H, and Aunt Kathleen) I hope you enjoy the updates. I'll try to post as many pictures of Ryane as I can.

Cousin Blake and Ryane

Well, it has been a busy few months. Last weekend I made the trip up to northern Jersey to visit my good friend Ashley. She is getting married to the incredibly charming Tim in January and we stayed at their adorable new home. Ash thought we were all coming up for her wedding shower which was lovely, but she had no idea that Tim had planned a surprise 30th birthday party for her that night. Ash was so surprised. All of her friends and family were waiting to surprise her when we reached the restaurant that night.

Puerto Rico
In November I was lucky enough to jet down to Puerto Rico for the wedding of dear friends Jenny and Rob. Jenny was a beautiful bride and we had a lovely time at The Conquistador Resort. The four of us pictured below made $40 last for 4.5 hours at the blackjack table. Not bad, huh? 


Jason with all the ladies. Jason and Erich were the only husbands on the trip, so they endured their share of girl talk.

Baby Payton, or "Pay Pay" was having a terrific time at the rehearsal dinner.


Happy Halloween
