May - Still enjoying warm weather - we visited the Albany Tulip Festival, Nisky Day (Emma loves parades!), the Ringling Brothers Circus with the Zals, went out to Freedom for Renee and Shawn's Baby Shower - then on to Lancaster for Memorial Day
Enjoying Ice Cream and Roast Beef Sandwiches at Anderson's in Buffalo
In June we sold our house - and found another although the timing wasn't quite right, so... we moved in with Mom and Dad for 2 months. We celebrated Mike's 32nd birthday on the 15th.
Mike's Birthday!
In July we closed on our new house and Dad and Brad helped us a lot getting the rooms painted and ready to move in! We went to Lancaster for the 4th of July, Celebrated our 5th Anniversary and Aunt Nancy's 50th Birthday.
Emma and Graham
August was a busy month - we moved in the first of the month then headed out to Freedom Convention. Next was Altamont and then celebrated Katie's 30th Birthday - a good incentive to get the boxes put away :) Then we went up to Ogunquit, ME with Katie, Madeline and Oscar - a great vacation before the summer's end.
Quick stop in Portsmouth,NH at Popovers for lunch!
September was back to school for Mike, Sawyer's 2nd birthday, visits to a few craft fairs and fall festivals and the Adirondack Balloon Festival.
Our Family
October - Our neighbor Uncle Will died after a long bout of cancer...we celebrated Clarissa's and Heidi's Birthdays...went trick or treating at Guilderland High School...also found out much to our surprise!! We're expecting. We decided to give everyone a real "trick" and let our families know on Halloween :) October was also the begnining of our perpetual sickness...this lasted into January... :(
Trick or Treat Street - GHS, Madeline, Oscar and Emma
November - we enjoyed having Corbin and the kids up for Thanksgiving - had a great day at Mom and Dad's with most of the Pikcilingis family. Then Mike's folks came out for the weekend and Matt and Nicki, Jack and 2 week old Caden :) We celebrated Emma's second birthday twice..once with Elmo at Mom and Dad's and then at our house the next night with all the little friends in the area...cupcake theme :)
Emma's 2nd Birthday!
December came and went pretty quickly. We got outside in the first snow and built a snowman! Emma wasn't too happy by the end b/c it started raining - but it was fun nonetheless. We spent Xmas in Buffalo with the McCoys then came home for New Years. Judy spent the week with us - Matt and Nicki and boys and Dan were supposed to join us too, but it didn't work out this time - looking forward to seeing them all soon! So that about wraps up 2009...lots of changes with a new house and new baby on the way - surprises but wouldn't have wanted it any other way :) Maybe I'll keep things better updated this year... maybe :)
