Thanksgiving 2006


We really enjoyed having Beth's parents, sister, aunt, uncles, and grandmother out to Denver for Christmas. This was our first time hosting family and we really enjoyed sharing our humble apartment with everyone (no, they didn't spend the night in our one-bedroom)... but dinner and enjoying company was cozy! Thanks Meghan, Jen and Maria for joining us. It was wonderful to have family and friends together for the holiday.

Thank you to everyone for making it out here to see us! It meant so much to us to have you here. We love you! Here are some photos from our time together...

Welcome from Snowy Denver!

While Frank and I have been stranded inside for almost two days in Denver's 4th worst snow storm ever recorded, I guess you could say we've had a little too much time on our hands. As a result, I thought it would be a good idea to start a blog so that we can send updates to friends and family as they happen.

So, here goes...

We received about 2 feet of snow in Littleton, CO, just southwest of Denver. Frank spent time going outside completely geared up for the snow to uncover the Jeep. He was able to back up and get us out of our parking spot in 4wd... thank God for that!

Enjoy the pictures below recounting our two days of being snowed in...
