Hi to you all. Just sending a few photos of our snowfall overnight, the most we've had at one time in quite a few years - at least 20 inches. It does look very pretty - for now.

Lily's first Christmas

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you! We've spent the past week in Corpus Christi, with Ashley's family and we've had a great time. We wanted to share a few of the pictures from Lily's first Christmas with you all.

Love,
Luke, Ashley and Lily

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas!

We finally got some measurable snow this past weekend,raising our hopes of a white Christmas,only to be let down by the latest forecast for Christmas day... rain/ice mix with a high in the 40's. Major bummer! The first snow fall of the season (in reasonable amounts)is always exciting,especially at Christmas time!
Josh and Veronica brought Caleb and Sean over to play in the snow with Nana and Papa. While Sean loved the sledding and kept asking for "more, more",Caleb seemed to just enjoy walking through the snow and watching Charlie bounding about.
Wishing you all a very Merry and Blessed Christmas! We love and miss you!

A wonderful time was had by all. We truly enjoyed our time with all of you.

Thanksgiving in RI

We really missed everyone yesterday on Thanksgiving. Wish we could have been there! I'll post some photos of our Thanksgiving here, and hopefully you'll all post yours. Then we can pretend we were all together.

Love, Chris

This last one was Kelly taking artfully interesting pics of my behind. Such a nice daughter.

North Shore Pittsburgh

After strolling the park we had a lunch at Jerome Bettis' restaurant there.
This is a new statue honoring Mr. Rogers. It's on the river near Heinz Field.
Dad and I had a pleasant morning a couple days ago when we drove down to the northshore of Pittsburgh. (It has become a very nice park area along the Allegheny including areas in front of the Steelers stadium and the Pirates ballpark.) Two ships, replicas of Christopher Columbus's "Nina" and "Pinta" are on the Allegheny River for touring. We went on board but didn't get to see them under sail.

Happy Halloween!

Lily's 1st Halloween!
