Yankee and NH Visit Nov 2009

Here are our pictures from the first part of our trip to NY & NH, stay tuned for the second half. Also there are pictures from the World Series that we watched here in CA, look at the Yankee fans! Got to meet our son-in-law Gabe, check out the pictures with Amanda. We also helped out at the Single Mothers Outreach Program one afternoon. Loved seeing you all, XOXO

It was busy in NH. We had about an hour and a half to see the Strickler and Jordan families. You see Lynn with Michele and Sharon by the fireplace. Then there's the always-buff Chris (Sharon's husband) joining us in the next photo.

Here we are at Dunkin Donuts (the first time of many during the week) with my Mom in Valley Stream. Look at the pure joy on Lynn's face to have Dunkin's...

Todd and Gretchen threw an awesome party in NH. Everyone was there. It was such a blast. Wings were everywhere and there was this awesome meat that Mike brought. Something about some guy with a chain saw and leather mask from Londonderry that made it for him. Some photos from the party had to be removed for the benefit of some people's reputation :)

Thank you to Shelly and Mike for having us stay with them for the weekend!

Here we are just getting off the plane at JFK. It's a little chilly in NY. We were waiting for my brother to come pick us up at 11 at night. It was 80 when we left Cali. There's Lex showing Blake the sites out the window. They were so good on the plane. It was a long day, we were so excited to finally be there.

Below we are at the Single Mother's Outreach program put on the by church we belong to. In the picture with me and Blake is the always beautiful Cathy who worked there with us that day. She's so great. The women were so grateful. Really nice clothes are donated (hey, it's SoCal. I saw shoes from Prada and Gucci, sweaters from Banana Republic, suits from Ann Taylor and more) and single mother's in need can come and take what they need for free.

Lexi made NY Yankee cookies. There was no way the Phillies had a chance once those came out.
