A great vacation!!

We are back from a nice relaxing week in NY.   We spent a lot of time watching TV, playing with baby Joseph, and visiting with Paul’s family and friends.  I enjoyed having so much down time to cuddle up on the couch next to my favorite man.  It was also nice to spend some more time getting to know Paul’s friends and family.

Christmas day was nice and relaxing because we didn’t have a big family dinner until Friday.  I did wake up to a great breakfast and some very nice gifts from Paul and his parents.  Paul was generous and got me a new camera because he knew how much I was missing mine.  He also went in to get me this:

I have been wanting to go to tournament all year but haven’t been able to make it.  My friend Cynthia apparently came up with the idea and went in with Paul, his parents, my friend Ross and R3k9s for my Christmas and Birthday.  It was a wonderful gift and a complete surprise.  I felt a bit silly because I started bawling in front of Paul’s parents but I was just so happy and grateful to have wonderful friends who care so much about me!

I spent the weekend fiddling with the new camera.  I haven’t sorted through all the pics to upload the ones I like.  I just put a couple on last night so I would have some to post today.   This baby Joseph was the highlight of the trip.  He is such a happy baby and is Paul’s new nephew!  You can’t help but love such a cute little face!

Anyway, it’s nice to be back and Sadie, Dylan, and Marley were all very happy to see me.   Keep posted for Sadie’s announcement to be posted sometime today!
