| Today we visited Brent, Lisa, Lael, Jaden, and the newest member of their family (and our new nephew), Noah. He was born a little ahead of schedule, about two months ago (27 weeks), weighing 2 lbs, 2 oz. We were planning to visit him at the hospital, but he was able to come home yesterday! |












| About a week ago, we had a chance to get away for a vacation at Lavallette, NJ. We went down with Tim, Cherie and Carrie, and stayed with Ted and Carol. It was a very relaxing time, and I enjoyed being away from the computer and email. Here's the view from the house. |


| We didn't spend too much time on the beach, but most mornings we walked around and Carrie played. |













| Most of the time we spent relaxing around the house. |





| The last day we were there, Albert, Megan, Audrey, Liam and Isabel joined us! |










| Last weekend we had an Easter egg hunt at Brock's parent's house. |










| Last night we stopped by at Megan and Albert's house to see their brand new baby girl (and our new niece)! Isabel Rebecca was born on March 7, 2010 and was 8 lbs, 21 in. |


| Audrey was very excited to have a new little sister and Liam was doing some kind of happy dance. |


| Carrie was there too and didn't know what to think! |


| Audrey is really good at the piano and was playing us a song. |







| Carrie recently celebrated her first birthday! You can leave her a comment on her parent's blog if you'd like. |















| On New Year's Day, we got together with Brock's family to celebrate Christmas. Carrie was wearing her holiday dress. |




| Lael and Carrie got matching fleaces! |



| Jaden got his own digital camera. |



| After lunch, some of us took a short walk and played in the snow. |









| A few weekend photos of Carrie and our Christmas tree. |









| On Wednesday, Tim and Cherie hosted a Christmas party with a delicious fondue spread! |


| It was Carrie's first Christmas! |




| Bev sewed PJs for everyone. Bec and I look extra-cute in our matching pajama pants! |




| Megan and Audrey enjoying a good book. |







| A couple weekends ago, we had the chance to spend a Saturday with our niece, Audrey. Becca helped her create Christmas ornaments for her parents. |


| They turned out very nicely! |


| After that, we headed to Easton, PA to visit the Crayola Factory. Here we are on the way with some silly faces. |



| There were a lot of stations where you could work on projects. |






| The National Canal Museum was located in the same building and Audrey also liked those exhibits. Here she is playing with a water table where you could setup your own route for the boats. |





| Another Family Thanksgiving Dinner |


| The day after Thanksgiving, we headed to Bec's mom's house for another feast. |







| The cutest hat award goes to... Carrie! |
