Here's a picture of me, Tracy and Tess. Funny, this picture finishes the last requirement of our adoption. The Chinese government and our agency, Alliance needed 6 month updates with pictures of Tess¹ progress. I guess they can see, thanks to her chubby appearance and adorable smile that she is loved and more importantly, well fed!

Tess' Birthday



This weekend we celebrated Tess' second birthday by showering her with presents and filling her full of cake!  Mitch enjoyed the Tess-a-palooza weekend, but reminded us several times that his birthday only lasts one day. I guess this year we'll have to celebrate Mitch-a-palooza.  Since the super birthday celebrations began in Mexico for Steve we might as well let everyone enjoy an extra few birthdays.

Here are a few pictures of Tess at her birthday dinner and hopefully the "Happy Birthday" song video will upload.

Accepting the defeat



I decided that I would begin my more regular blogging with a post about the Patriots' loss with a few simple pictures.  Here's one of Tess getting ready for the big game, another of Mitch sometime during the game and lastly a picture after the sad and terrible ending to the game. What's worse is living in Giants territory...no one has let this game go away anytime soon. There are stupid Giants hats all over New York City and Mamaroneck.  Mitch even tried to play sick last Monday so he didn't have to see his Giants friends.  At least the Celtics are playing well and the Sox begin the defense of their World Series in a couple months.

I still can't believe that the Pats scored so few point and that Brady got the crap kicked out of him.  Maybe 2008/2009 will be the undefeated season.
I started my new job today and I think I'm going to like it...quick decision making...no politics and a great group of people...what's not to like?!
