Christmas Morning

Christmas Morning

A little video of Vera messing around on Christmas Morning, uploaded to Picasa instead of YouTube so that copyrighted background music could be added (some group called "The Beatles" that Vera likes). Click the "view HQ video" link on the top right and "smooth video" from the google video menu on the lower right for best results.

Halloween!

Halloween!

Here are some pics from our Halloween weekend in Wenatchee visiting Lindsay's sister and brother-in-law.

Also, I put a couple new videos up today on VeraVision - so check them out!

Visit to Iowa

We spent the weekend in Iowa for Maria's wedding (of which we have NO pictures!). Vera spent the weekend doing all things apple-related: apple picking with Nick, Cathy and Lauren, and cider-making with the whole clan.

Mason's 1st Birthday and Papou and Yia Yia visit!

Fun fun fun times with the Pantazis/Lukas clan over the past several weeks. We celebrated Mason's 1st birthday in NYC with the whole fam, then enjoyed a visit from Papou and Yia Yia the following week. Highlights include: a day trip to Rockport, a ferry ride to and beach time at Provincetown in Cape Cod, a baseball game at fenway, and more.

We are now packing packing packing for our big move cross country. We leave in a little over a week! Wish us luck on the move and we'll see most of you soon!

Ye Olde New England, and the like

Maine and More

We've been taking advantage of New England lately - most recently a trip to Maine with Ruth, Paul and Luis, blueberry picking, beach-going and more.

Summer in action

Hello to all. Here are pictures from the past several weeks including but not limited to: Our trip to Martha's Vineyard, a trip from Katie, Karl and Mason along with John's friend Mike for the 4th of July, a day trip to Mystic with Katie and Mason, and a delightful visit from Claire. Enjoy!

Visits with Mason and Strawberry Fest!

NYC and Strawberries

We've been slacking on the pictures. Apologies. Here are some pics from our weekend in NYC with cousin Mason, a visit from Mason and Auntie Katie, and a strawberry festival with BFF Louis. You know we can't turn down a fest. More recent pics will be posted soon - so hold your pants on. geez.

April Showers Bring May Visitors

After about 3 weeks without internet, we are back online, so here is a large posting of pictures from the past month. We enjoyed visits from Maria, Justin and Maile, went on Vera's first bike ride, spent a day at the beach, went on a hike in New Hampshire, and were otherwise completely entertained by Vera and all her shenanigans. She is becoming quite the little talker, with a new word almost every day. Yesterday's new word was "naked". She says please and thank-you (with some prompting) and is quite well versed in animal sounds. Currently her favorite things are playgrounds and cookies. Enjoy the pics!

Spring A Ding Ding

Spring in Iowa, and some other stuff

March Madness

Here's a ton of pics from the past several weeks. We've been enjoying the few nice days we've had so far, had a visit from George, Mary and Diana, and spent the weekend in Bath, PA visiting John's family.

Vermont should be lovely this time of year...

Vera Turns One!

Vera celebrated her first birthday with her Grandma Mary, Auntie Katie, Uncle Karl, and cousin Mason. She also helped Mary and Katie celebrate their own birthdays over an eventful birthday weekend, which was well documented with our new camera. Vera has learned some new tricks in her wise old age, which have also been well documented.

Vera is One!

Vera's First Christmas!

We spent close to 3 weeks in Iowa for Christmas with ALL the family. Of course, we were sick practically the whole time. But, we managed to have some fun despite the illnesses. Vera seemed to enjoy her first Christmas, but is just now really getting into the new toys she received. Thanks to all!

Not pictured are a few days of fun in Chicago (although still sick) - with Faith, Mark and the boys taking care of us, and some wedding dress shopping with Maria, as well as a fair amount of Anne of Green Gables watching. sigh.

Xmas 2008!
