New England

One of our favorite places to live was Newport, RI where Daddy studied at the Naval War College.  Not technically your first home, but we made most of our first year memories as a family of three here.  We did as much exploring as we could with an infant and I will proudly state that we did a lot of sightseeing with you and my breast pump in tow.
 
We looked around the L.L. Bean Store in Maine.  We even hit Boston including the Duck Tour and Salem, Mass. on Halloween day!  Great people watching! 

 This was a different looking McDonalds in Maine!


One weekend, we took a ferry to Block Island and stayed at a B&B.



Someday you'll have to watch the Shawshank Redemption to understand why driving through Buxton was fun for us.

Here you are looking out our window at the beautiful snow.

And in warmer temperatures at our town beach.


We also spent a weekend at Martha's Vineyard.


Closer to home were the many mansions along the Cliff Walk in Newport.  This is you and Daddy during a tour of the Breakers.

I took this picture at the "Kite park".  Beautiful spot to sit and watch sail boats.  Daddy learned to sail while we were stationed here and took us out on a boat a few times.

Here is Daddy with the very boat that brought the Pilgrims to America!  Ok, so it was an exact replica.
Me and Plymouth Rock.  (This is the actual rock).


Fall fun hanging around the house.

There is also a pretty popular movies in the 80's based on this pizza place in Connecticut.

So many awesome sights in the New England states!  You should go sometime when you can remember it!

Tim and Pam's wedding

Today we will celebrate a blessing from God!  The blessing belongs to Tim and her name is Pam.  Barrett will stand beside him as he makes those precious vows.

But first, a little tidying up.

Look at those smiles!  They must see a beautiful bride coming!



The happy couple.

3 handsome generations!

The whole gang.

My sister-in-laws, Brooke and Karli (Brooke is pregnant with Chase here, but no one knows...I suspected it and asked her.  I mean, Brooke, not drinking a glass of wine at the reception?)

Brooke's husband, Adam

Karli and her Adam

Cousin Mark and Laken

Where's Waldo?

Congratulations Grandpa and 'Grandma'!

Corn day

This year we got to participate in the annual Emenheiser corn day.  Uncle Geri and Aunt Judy cut their corn and the family comes together to stock their freezers full of some wonderful, sweet Lancaster County corn.  The day consists of hard work, catching up, relaxing....
