Visitors!

My sister Deb, Dean, and Cousin Elizabeth were here for a few days around Christmas. It was great to have some family in town, but of course we didnt take very many pictures. Here is the one we took and some others from Christmas.

Winter Wonderland!

We had our first big snowstorm yesterday and last night. It has brought about a foot of snow in our yard and surrounding areas. There are some good size drifts too, Emma wasn't too sure about it today, but Buster on the other hand is LOVING it. Here are todays pictures....

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Here's to a very Merry Christmas to all of our friends and family. Thanks for the presents and visiting. Here are some brief snapshots. More to come....

Cookies

Emma got her first taste (literally) of making Christmas cookies yesterday. She loved pouring the sugar over the top, but really wanted to taste them too! They turned out pretty good. The others are Central Park.

New York City

Matt and I met in NYC for a fun filled night on the town before I went to meet my new elbow surgeon. The surgeon was positive about being able to get more movement in my arm, but obviously we will have to wait until Repine II comes along. Matt and I stayed near Lincoln Center, we were on the 11th floor of our hotel and the window opened wide to the ledge outside!! Lots of taxis and a guy playing the bells. It was very tempting to throw something from the window, but we opted to stay in that hotel. :) Here are some pics of looking out the window and Central Park.

Uncle Gordy

Keep Going....

Cousins!

Emma got to hang out with her cousin Carter for a few days. Katherine and Gordy were brave enough to travel to Rhode Island. We were so happy to see you!! Here are some pics from the adventure. Some are a bit blurry, trying to get them to sit still wasnt easy!! And yes I cut Emma's hair. We have nicknamed it the Murt, pronounced mert, just think Matt/Kurt circa 1990. :)

RI Repines

George's brother and dad were both here for short visits. We didnt take enough pictures as usual, but here are a few. Also found some cute food pics while I was cleaning off the camera. She loves sticky rice!!

Our Little Pumpkin

We decided to get the pumpkin carved today. Emma was great at reaching in and helping clean it out and sort the seeds.....then she figured out it might be food. Not so tasty though! (George did the drawing on the pumpkin)
Happy Halloween!!!!!!

Lazy Saturday

Here we are watching some Saturday football on a rare Saturday off. Emma also figured out how to get up on the dining room table so we are eliminating more furniture from our already small assortment! Who can blame her there was popcorn there for the taking!!
