We have a contract!

Jonathan and I are excited to announce that we have a contract on a new home! The search process was a long one but we found a fantastic 5 over 4 colonial in a wonderful wooded neighborhood here in Williamsburg. We'll have lots of extra room and although we have a whole lot of wallpaper removal and painting to do on the inside, we feel great about it as a home we can truly make our own. The home inspection went well but there are a number of details to still work out with the sellers so keep your fingers crossed that all will go well:) We'll keep you up to date as the closing date get's near. We will hope to be in our place by mid-July!

Happy Friday to you all.

We're Having a Baby!!

Hi All,

We are really excited to share that Jonathan and I are having a baby:) We are due on October 7th and couldn't be more excited. Below you'll see some fun pictures from our 12 week ultrasound. I'll post more information about how everything has been going (wonderfully) in the next couple of days.

Love,
Jenny

A Weekend in New England

Wow, this past weekend was wonderful. I spent three days with Kerri and Adria in Boston and New Hampshire celebrating Kerri's baby shower and some good time with friends. Adria picked me up at Logan on Thursday night and after a nice quiet dinner in the North End we went back to her place in Amherst, New Hampshire. Lots of cooking, laughing and talking was JUST what the Dr. ordered after a bunch of weeks cooped up in my office so I could not have had more fun. I'm grateful that me putting Kyan's clothes on backwards and filling their home with smoke during the cooking of a quiche were my only blunders during the visit. (The last time we were there for the weekend Jonathan and I managed to lose their dog Kava in the woods- later to be found- thankfully- so a little smoke and snaps in the wrong place seems somewhat minor this time:) Ahh well, thankfully, friendship withstands such craziness.

Saturday was Kerri's baby shower celebration and we had about 25 guests for the event. Kerri looked absolutely beautiful and had everyone in the room jealous of her fantastic figure at 32 weeks along! I'll post some photos in the next day or two but just wanted to put a short message up to say we had SOO much fun. Kerri picked up some wonderful baby things (although I'm guessing every first time mom needs some lessons on nipple cream and all of the interesting contraptions one receives from the seasoned mommy veterans:) It was a great time!

On Sunday before I started my trip home I finally got to learn Dree's super secret eggplant parmesan recipe so don't be surprised if you have that the next time you visit!!! It is terrific.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

SNOW in March?

Morning everybody! I have a meeting in a few minutes so this will be short but I wanted to write to tell everyone how shocking it was to wake up to SNOW this morning:). It was crystal clear out and sunny as could be but there it was... a few inches of snow on all of the trees and covering the ground. Given the warmer weather we've been having it was a little shocking. Penelope was absolutely in heaven (or so it seemed) with the unfamiliar condition. I took her out for some play time and after being a little unsure of herself on a slippery deck she tore around in the snow for a good 45 minutes! I'll post some pictures of her in the next few minutes. Hope you all enjoy a wonderful afternoon and if it is snowing where YOU are that you've found a way to keep warm.
