"My Baby Cousin"

This week, Perrie is meeting three of her cousins (and her Aunt Jamie and Uncle Richie). Giarratana, Basil, and Nelson are VERY excited to meet their new cousin and love to hold her and give her loving pats. Today, Giarratana excitedly told our waitress "I have a new baby cousin". Thank you for driving through the bad weather to get here -- we miss you Jameson!

Proud Grandparents

OK, I am much delayed in posting these pictures... but in the last month we have enjoyed visits from all of Perrie's proud new grandparents. We appreciate their help!

Happy 2009!

This was definitely our earliest New Year's Eve in many, many years ... though Perrie was nice enough to wake me up at 11:55 so that we could ring in the new year together.

We are having all sorts of fun ... starting to grow out of her newborn clothes (does she look bigger?), learning all sorts of new noises to make, and charming us a little bit more every day! This week, Perrie got to meet her cousin, Carson -- he put her right to sleep (will make a good babysitter!).

Hope that everyone is having a happy new year!
