New York City
Central Park
Rockefellar Square
Grand Central Station
The Haugheys
Beach in CTBobby and I enjoyed a much needed getaway a couple of weeks ago! We flew into New York City on Saturday and met Will and Rachel Haughey, Brett Gaudin, and Chris Haughey for dinner. We drove back to Rowayton, CT with the Haugheys and spent a few relaxing days with them before taking the train back to NYC for the remainder of our trip. While in Rowayton, we enjoyed catching up with Will, Rachel, and Chris, experiencing many local delicacies including delicious coffees, teas, and chocolate, oohing and awing over the New England/Cape Cod homes, sleeping in for a few days, and having no real agenda but to spend time together=) We then took the train into the city on Tuesday and stayed in Manhattan until Thursday. While there, we saw The Phantom of the Opera, wandered Central Park, traveled through the many infamous "squares" of the city, and again ate some wonderful meals and savored delicious coffees and desserts. As much as we missed our sweet little Sam, we so LOVED our time away! Sam did great while we were gone and the trip was more refreshing and relaxing than I could have asked for!

Sanibel Island, FL
We spent a few days in Sanibel, FL a week ago with the Ravensberg family! It was great to retreat to the sun and beach...Sam loved the sand and ocean and the flight was much more bearable from Indy versus the one last year from CA!
Dining out has taken on new meaning with a 21 month old!
David's birthday dinner at Sunset Grill
The gang before dinner at the jazz bar! Gamaw, Marty, and Bob were so gracious to send us out... while they spent the evening with Sam.
Samantha and Aunt Becky
The biggest kids at the park!
Leaving for the airport after a great week with Gamaw!
Daddy, Gamaw, and Sam outside The Bean...favorite coffee spot on the island!
Searching for shells with "Marny"
Sam and Daddy
Mommy, Daddy, and Samantha
Finding shells and critters with "Bobby"
Samantha was very intrigued by the other kids on the beach and their sand castles!
Playing in the ocean!
" Building" sand castles of her own!
Rinsing the sand off of her legs! Samantha has become very particular about having anything on her hands, feet, face, legs, etc.
Again, trying to get the sand off of her feet!
We were sad to leave the beach, but so thankful to only say good-bye to FL instead of family too! It is wonderful being close to everyone again, although we miss our friends and climate in CA dearly=) Love to you all! Thanks for checking in...

Samantha loved getting to celebrate Ryan and Meagan's wedding with everyone! She couldn't get enough of the band and dancing with all her family. The wedding took place at Tabernacle Presbyterian Church and the reception was downtown Indy at the Westin. It was a beautiful event!

Getting down!
Samantha loved playing with cousin Carter!
Samantha and Carter were a hit to watch on the dance floor!
Stopping for a photo op before the reception=)
Samantha was in heaven at the rehearsal dinner! She couldn't dig in fast enough when the waitress placed a bowl of vanilla ice cream in front of her!! Like father, like daughter=) Sam's favorite treat is "ice-sume!"

History Repeats Itself
We had our 20 week ultrasound on Tuesday and learned we are having another GIRL!
From Bobby's perspective:
Well, here I am, a man with TWO daughters....what else can I say?
Actually, I am very excited about the doubling of everything "girl". You know, 2xs the tea parties, 2xs the dolls, 2xs the clothes, 2xs the makeup...and estrogen, and monthly cycles, and boyfriends, and prom nights, and college formals, and....weddings. I can be certain that my prayer life will also double:-)
Everything is right on track. Baby girl is healthy, has both sides of her brain (praise the Lord we don't have to go through that mess again), and delivery date is still July 5 or a few days earlier.
Upon many requests, I will post a belly shot here soon!

Change, Change and Even More Change
As of December 20, 2007...we officially became Hoosiers again! Bob accepted a job transfer within Boston Scientific, providing us the opportunity to move closer to family and friends in Indiana! Along with a CHANGE of territory for Bob, residence for us as a family, adjustment to the weather conditions of the Midwest, and all other changes that come with a move across the country...Samantha will also be a BIG SISTER early July! We are excited about the new addition and will keep you all posted via this page=)
California International Marathon--12/07
Bob accomplished a goal of his--running and finishing a marathon before moving from California! The race allowed him to see Folsom to downtown Sacramento through a new perspective. It was an awesome experience to be a part of! We shared the day of celebration with many of our dear Californian friends!

Maui--November 2007
We celebrated Thanksgiving in Maui, Hawaii this year with the Ravensberg family! While there, we attended the Maui Invitational Basketball Tournament to watch the Indiana Hoosiers. It was a fabulous getaway. Pictures will be posted eventually=)

Trip to San Diego
We spent this past weekend in San Diego visiting my cousin Erin and her family. It was a great getaway! Samantha loved spending time with her cousins. She especially liked escaping to Kilee's room, only to find it was her dream come true...babies, babies and more babies! When Kilee's door was closed, Samantha wandered into Wyatt's room to play his drumset! She was so sad to leave=(
Our trip included special time with cousins, a visit to the zoo, dinner by the beach with Aunt Debbie, attending the church where Erin's husband, Grant pastors, and making lots of fun memories!
Wyatt, Samantha, and Kilee ready for bed!
We went to zoo Saturday and then the beach for dinner.
Samantha loved when she got to get out of her stroller!
This was the only position that would distract her enough from wanting to be down running around!
Snack time!
