Mardi Gras 2015

Mom and Dad came for Curtis' parade and ball.  It was fun, as always :-) 

(Plus the weather cooperated! No rain, not too cold.)

Knights of Ecor Rouge Ball - February 2015 

In addition to Curtis's society events in Fairhope (although this year may be the last), this is the third year we've gone to a Mobile ball, which always involved a big group of work friends.  This year was no different and very fun.

Christmas 2013

We had a wonderful and busy holiday season.  I loved having Jon and our parents staying in my little Philly apartment.

Kenny loved it too. 

Kenny was spoiled to the MAX.  He got several Christmas presents and lots of love and attention from our family.

Kenny and Nanny.  Best doggy great-grandmother ever. 

Kenny wore his Christmas footie PJs again on Christmas Eve :-)

Mom & Dad, checking out the flurries.

Kenny sat at the window and watched the snow - he's like a cat. 

Kenny's Christmas present from his grandma! 

Kenny in his "Colts" sweater from Nanny, there's a horseshoe on the back :-) 

Family Photos in Philly Fall 2013

Update: Now that the Christmas Photos are out, I've added photos to this - enjoy! 

Hey look, I'm posting on the Family Blog! 

Sorry this has been dormant: as I talked about on the Christine's World blog, I've lost some steam.  But here's the perfect post to dust off those cobwebs - Family Pictures!!

I really wanted to capture our year in Philly, so we found a photographer (Russell Photo Studio) and did it in October, in and around Washington Square, just near my house. 

I don't want to give too much away, because we're using a lot of the pictures on our Christmas cards, but here's a b&w preview: 

Hart Family Vacay

We spent a week just a few blocks from the beach in Newport with Curtis' parents and siblings. It was probably my favorite beach destination other than Hawaii to date, we had perfect weather and swam almost every day, AND we went to Disneyland! (We were also super stressed because Curtis has class during it, and I can't be away from my dog for more than a few days at a time but we made every effort to make the best of it)

Thanksgiving 2012

Can you tell we're related?

We had a nice low-key Thanksgiving in SoCal this year, which was fitting with all the loss we have had as a family this year.  There were 7 of us, both our parents and Christine's brother Jonathan.   The food was, as always, delish. I'm still looking for the picture of Curtis carving the "roast beast." 

Looking back: Thanksgiving

(These next posts are my way of updating our blog, particularly with posts about our adventures here. Hope you enjoy!)

At Thanksgiving, Christine's parents and Jon came to visit! We had a really nice time and the weather was perfect.

Highlights included:
- lunch on the Causeway at Felix's
- looking out at Mobile Bay from a pier in Daphne
- yummy Thanksgiving dinner
- a trip to Orange Beach
- a Stanford-Syracuse basketball watching party
- a brief visit to the botanical gardens on the Mobile Museum property

Here are the pics!
