Christmas pageant success!

Last night was the Stamford ward Christmas Pageant - an amazingly complex production involving over 50 people! Corinne sang absolutely beautifully and carried the show with the poise of a seasoned leading lady. The ward rallied together to get sets, costumes, lighting, sound, and lots of enthusiasm up and running for the one big show. Allan played the part of the innkeeper, saddened by the realization that he had turned away Mary and Joseph. Corinne's part, the Narrator, introduced the innkeeper to all of the wonders of Christmas, from holiday parties, to children's nativity pageants, and more. The ward really enjoyed the performance, and we were happy to share our enthusiasm and voices with them. We will try to get our hands on the recording that was made to share with friends and family. Wahoo!

During our Christmas visit to CA, we went to Baker's beach to take some photos and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Welcome...

Yes, yes, we realize we're jumping on a bandwagon....but come on, it's just so much fun! How else can you turn yourself or your family into instant celebrities?! Or make everyone else think you have a perfect life...

Anyway, welcome to our newest addition! It doesn't cry or need attention. And no diaper changing. Whatever we tell it to do, it does (until the computer crashes). And we can sleep in on Saturday.

Well, life is good. We live in Connnecticut. You know, the place about which Glenn Close's character in the Stepford Wives said, "Where in America could a whole town of robots go unnoticed? Connecticut!"

Allan is working as a Landscape Designer and Corinne is working as a Singer/Dancer/Actress! We have the greatest church ward this side of the Mississippi - lots of big active families and our chapel is only 2 miles away. Allan serves as the 11 year old primary teacher and Blazer leader, and Corinne is the YW Personal Progress Leader. There are hundreds of young people in our ward, so it's busy!

Browse our recently added pictures, slideshows, and posts. We'll do our best to keep it updated.

There is a big balloon parade put on by UBS, and they set everything up just outside our balcony -- cool!
