Happy New Year!

Hey all. It's been some time since my last post. We've had a wonderful start to the new year. We were able to spend a lot of time with family and friends for the holidays. Rich and I spent the week of anniversary in the Poconos. His parents stayed with the kids and we went out to dinner. Our traditions has been to go to the Rose Tatoo in Philly. It's where we had our first date. But being that were in the Poconos, we had to find a new place to go. We went to a restaurant called Maidenbrook Inn that I found online. It was really nice, the food was great, the decor was lovely and the service was excellent. Rich and I had a great time talking during our 2.5 hour dinner and are making it our anniversary place of choice.
Our new year is starting our as a busy one. January, we have to trips planned. One to the MCO conference in Sandy Cove and aanother down to San Antonio, TX to talk with a board about orphan work in Africa. I'm excited because we are going to be staying with friends who we haven't seen for two years. It'sll be Johanna's first plane ride, and Jacob is staying with family.
Speaking of kids, you gotta love the pics. Joey is growing so quickly and her smile is the best. She loves her big brother and is copying him already. This month she has started to sit up by herself, found her toes (to eat) and has started talking.
Hope you are all well. Keep us updated on your lives.
