 Little Martin's new 'do'... adorable does not describe it well enough!

 King Cake... a Louisiana tradition.

John pulls Maeve in the wagon; we had some mild winter days in January.

Laurie and I visited Aunt Louise who was having a good day; she lives at the Rockland 'Knox' nursing facility and is now under the care of Hospice.  She recognized us as her nieces.

Lizzie enjoys her adoption day party!  Complete with a candy cane and candy cane frosting!

 Martin likes a party, too. 

 Dan with Maeve- she likes to try on every one's shoes and boots. 

 When asked how old she is going to be on her birthday this month...

 Maeve relaxing and reading with her Mommy...

 This picture is from a few months ago, but Dan just received a copy of it...  

Dan works hard for the Democrats, and his work is appreciated.

Such pretty decorations and delicious food!

Dan was a guest at the White House this month; he got to go along with the Boston Bruins as a perk for all of his work for President Obama.  There are several pictures from this visit, but this is my favorite.

John and I took a walk early one beautiful Sunday morning...
