Tori In The Tulips

During Spring Break...Tori and I decided to visit Mount Vernon and the Tulip Festival midweek. Nobody was there and the tulips were light, but beautiful. We took advantage of the moment and had a blast. Tori kept saying, "Tips, Tuuulps, or Flowahs..." pretty funny.

Speaking of other funny things Tori is saying. Her latest phrase is, "Papa's gotta big twuck." She wakes up in the morning and announces this to us each day.

Tori Tackles Ravenna-Eckstein Community Center

Thanks for meeting us at Ravenna-Eckstein Community Center, McBrearty family. We always love seeing you and spending time. It seems we never get enough time with our dear friends and we count you among the very best.

Today is one of the most lovely winter days we've had all year. The sun is shining, people are out and about, and everyone seems to be in a good mood.

Tori is napping and I need to "get sweaty" on the treadmill. Tonight is date night and I always feel so good about dining out and going out if I've had a good workout.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Save The Date

The St. Catherine School Auction is May 2nd, 2009. We'd love it if you'd attend the auction or consider sending a donation to our incredible, little, Catholic school. www.stcatherineschool.net

Starting an Annual Tradition

This year, we took a chance on a "new" idea and visited Warm Beach (http://www.warmbeach.com/) to witness their Christmas celebration. It was remarkable. We saw over a million lights, listened to live carolers, danced to a soapbox band, watched the ponies, and laughed as the trains rode by. I think we'll make it an annual tradition. Join us next year.
Happy Holidays!

Pomeroy Thanksgiving

It was a memorable Thanksgiving celebrating with Kimble / Thomas / Crandall family. We are very grateful for such a loving group. Steve and I were very sad to say good-bye and head back to Seattle. We hope to see the Thomas family in Wisconsin very soon, perhaps for Anne's 40th birthday!

Everyone Says She Looks Like Steve
