picture overload

you guys are in luck...i spent the day in philadelphia doing research and thanks to the ice storm, my flight was canceled back to raliegh. you are in luck because i get free internet access at the airport marriott and since i have nothing else to do, i am going to update my blog! get ready for picture overload!!

as promised, pics from our parents renewing their vows

and from the engagement!!

a lovely picture of some of the most important people in our lives

i think this picture is terrible but you can see thalia's teeth have really come in

thalia's new favorite thing to do..."i don't know"

whew...what a good lookin' group of people! things are going pretty well now that we are back to our respective states. thalia is spending the week with her daddy and gamma and grandpa. i am not heading back to michigan until valentine's weekend so they are trying to get as much time with her as they can...it's really great.

the apartment is lonely by myself...but heading to this research has definitely broken my week up. chris and thalia get here friday and then yiayia comes on saturday because i have research in denver next week. i know...it's crazy. i am very blessed to have such a wonderful family that is so supportive and willing to help us out. i don't know what i would do without them!!

i guess that's about it. hope you enjoyed the pictures. i should be able to keep up with my updates now that things are "settling down" :o) hopefully i'll get some better sleep tonight. i have been sleeping terribly since i got back to nc.

have a wonderful week. we miss you all!

much much MUCH love and very little sleep,

c, c, and t
