Our new friend Leah Rose...

Our very good friends Peter and Abby had little Leah a couple of months ago... They lover her to pieces and have quite naturally fallen into the role of great parents. We thought Josh could use a little practice!

Happy Birthday Carebear!

We celebrated Carrie's b-day a few months early this year,as her sister Abby will have a bundle of joy at the real time. Abby had a great idea to make it an extra special 30th for her. Josh was able to book us a fancy suite in aNew York City hotel and we took her out for pasta(one of her favorites) at the famous chef Lydia's restaurant BECCO close by! It was such a fun girls weekend!
