We are back from our two and a half week NY visit and are settled back into home. It is good to be home again but Ellie is missing all the extra special attention she received while visiting Gary’s parents. Bada and Papa and her Aunts spoiled her and now I think she just doesn’t [...]

We have been thoroughly enjoying the summer these past few weeks. Thus the lack of posts… Much to my disappointment I have neglected to pull out my camera but I do have a few fun pictures to share. Gary and I enjoyed a weekend sans the Wee One. Thanks to my parents who so graciously [...]

We went to the Zoo last week with Grandma McKenney, Aunt Tamara, and Cousin Summer. It was busy but we had fun. Ellie’s eyes were big all day long taking in and processing all the animals that until now we have only seen in books, pictures, TV, and such. You could see the cogs and [...]

We stopped by my Grandpa and Grandma Jackson’s for lunch on Saturday and let Ellie go through her Easter Basket while we were there. She picked through the whole thing even opened each egg to [...]

The first few days were spent adjusting to the time change and just hanging with Leslie and her girls enjoying movies, spa nights, and home cooked meals. First up, Leslie and I [...]

Ellie got a harmonica from her Dad over Christmas. This week she figured it out a little better. Papa and Hanna should be proud maybe they could start a family blues band one day.

We took Ellie out on the slopes today in the backpack. We had so much fun together. She did really well and seemed to enjoy herself. The lifty’s let us load on the chair as three so she could sit securely in the pack right by Gary and I. She was quiet on the first [...]

We enjoyed Christmas this year so much we lost ourselves in it. It was a special Christmas for Gary, Ellie and I this year because we were able to combine both the Marcoccia’s and the McKenney’s. My parents decided to come along with us to New York and spend the Holidays with the Marcoccia’s. So [...]

We decorated the Christmas tree last night. Our plans to decorate earlier in the week were put off so that we could enjoy the company of Jill, Kevin, and Sarah. The old record player was brought out and we were bopping around the tree listening to the scratchy old 40′s spinning around. All the ancient [...]
