Seussical and the Greenwich Beach

This is Corinne and Cassidy after the show.
Yesterday the party continued! We went to My Favorite Place (that is really the name) in Cos Cob for lunch and had the best lunch. I always get this sandwich that is sourdough bread, tomatoes, melted cheese, and bacon. Mmmmmm....

After lunch we went to Tod's Point beach in Greenwich. It was over 70 degrees...in March!!!!! We have to squeeze in our visits to Greenwich beaches because come Memorial Day they only let in residents of Greenwich, and we're stuck at our beach in Stamford (which isn't so bad). During January and February every transplant in Connecticut starts thinking "Why in the world did I move to this awful place?" and we all start scheming plans in our heads to move to Arizona or California or Florida... and then the sun comes out, and you realize just how beautiful it is here. And so you start forgetting the horrible winter...

Although I think this warm spell is just a tease... forecast is for a high of 46 tomorrow....

This makes me laugh becasue its so true. During the winter I was secretly ploting my escape to FL. Now that its nice, I think I might just stay a while longer... (this cycle will repeat itself in about 10 months.)

Glad Allan had a great birthday!!

Happy birthday Allan and Congrats again to Corinne for her great job with Cassidy with getting her the part in the musical.

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.

The parade!

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