Welcome Family!


It has been very gratifying for me to put together the family address list and birthday calendar. I really appreciate all of the nice comments and thanks I have received from you.

It seemed like a good idea to create a place where it would be easy and fun to keep in contact with all the members of our growing families and extended family. I hope that we will all be motivated to participate in this blog and keep each other informed on what is going on within our families.

I encourage you to post photos, events, accomplishments, funny stories or anything that you would like. This is an opportunity for us to grow closer as a family as we become more familiar with each other.

I love you all - Naomi

Cassie's adventure in PERU

Hello Pickle's! I just wanted to put in a post of the highlight of my 2009. I had the opportunity (quite unexpectedly) to go to Peru for a week in November. My friend Ali's dad lives in Lima. She had been planning a trip to visit him for a few months. A week before she left- she invited me to come! She didn't have to ask me twice. I still can't believe it.Ali and I in Cusco, Peru

Without question the best leg of the trip was the day we spent in Machu Picchu. After a taxi ride, a shaky train passage and the most terrifying bus ride of my life... we made it! We spent over 6 hours just walking around the lost city and marveling that such a place could exist. I never wanted to leave. Beyond beautiful.
Some other pictures from my Peruvian adventure:

Aunt Naomi, I think this blog is a great idea!

    I still can't believe that you got to go to Peru! It was so meant to be...it just worked out rather perfectly, don't you think?

    Love all the pictures. What an amazing place!
