August Fun!

We were very busy in August! We went to the NY State Fair 3 times!
Here is a pic of this year's Butter Sculpture...

We also saw Kelly Clarkson and Gavin DeGraw there... Amazing!

And Darius Rucker too!

We also got away for a couple of days and went to Darien Lake...

Sarah took me on a tour of her old Daemen College campus and

we had lunch with her friend Cathy, her husband and son.

Stay tuned for any Fall updates!

Silly "Children"

Scrabble needs a drink and Samme is not
happy in this heat! We love our children!

Renaissance Festival 2009

We had so much fun at the Renaissance Festival in Sterling,
NY with David (who wouldn't take his picture!).
Not really sure who thought it was a good idea to give Sarah an axe!

Watkins Glen State Park

Some pictures from our day at Watkins Glen State Park. It was so beautiful! I would recommend the trip to anyone. It's a steep climb up and of course steep on the way down, so be prepared for a workout. The views, the amazing natural formations, I could go on and on. When you are looking for peace, to get away from it all, this place will do the trick! I think I speak for both Sarah and I when I say we came back so much more centered and ready to take on the next stage in our lives. Happy hiking everyone!

Samme Sue on Video

My first try at posting a video on the Blog:
Samme didn't feel like being a movie star today!

Myrtle Beach Trip

Sarah and I had the best vacation/honeymoon in Myrtle Beach, SC. I enjoyed being the tour guide as Sarah had never been. I think I did a great job since she actually loved the beach and didn't think she would! We shopped at Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing. We walked and collected shells on the beach. Our condo was gorgeous...I wanted to move in! We spent time with Mom and Lisa (a senior next year-oh my!) and Uncle Paul and Aunt Sue. We met Blake for the first time...Heather and Brian did a great job...he is so sweet! Overall it was a fun, relaxing, and amazing time away from home and work. We are happy to be back home with our "kids," Samme and Scrabble, who missed us very much.

Our Newest Additions

On Valentine's Day, we were blessed with two additions to our family, Cupid (the googly-eyed one) and Venus (the orange one)!

Happy New Year

We enjoyed the holidays... had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Now things are settling back down; have the house back to "normal" and getting back to the icky diet and a 5-day work week. I want to wish anyone who may be reading this a very happy and healthy 2009! Sarah and I have BIG plans for this new year but I don't want to jinx anything by putting it in writing. Really can't imagine life being any more perfect though...
