A little Valentine..

This Valentine's was a full day of fun.. We started the day by opening all of Andrew's gifts from his cousins and his classmates. We then had Chuck, Mare, aunt Judy and uncle Tom over for lunch. Last time we saw aunt Judy was for the reunion and back then we were just in the moving process and she did not get an opportunity to visit or see our new home. It was very nice having everyone over and as usual our Chef Andrew did a wonderful job.

Look what Andrew made for us at school. Muchas gracias!!!

Celebrating E-Ma's Birthday!

The whole family got together at one of Mare's favorite restaurants for her Birthday. Aunt Judy flew in and got to join us.

Here is Andrew posing with E-Ma!

By the way, Andy had been out of town and made it just in time to join us, hence the scrubs!!

A little visitor

A few weeks ago, Andrew's little friend Adam stop by to visit. It was a very nice day and they spent some time in the backyard before dinner. And as you can see, they were having fun with garden tools!
