A Thanksgiving "Thank you!"

While in Scranton for Thanksgiving, our family felt overwhelmed with thanks! All of our family looked so good and we enjoyed the time spent with everyone. We got to spend a wonderful Thanksgiving at mom and dad Mulherins (Yummy as always, mom.). The next day we celebrated a special birthday with Mark's mother at their beautiful home. We spent quality time with Dean and Sharon, Haley, Jenna, and Reese. Thank you for letting us invade your home! And....thank you, Cammi, for helping my children get over their fear of dogs! Woof! Woof! We were able to be with Mark's brother, Mike and his family at their awesome home in the mountains! They treated us with homemade hot wings and smoked fish from their own backyard smoker. Do I need to mention the bear skin rug, too?! (; Below you'll see how we were able to visit with great grandmothers. It was great to see other family like, Aunt Jeanne, and Aunt Tina. And it's always special time spent with Jerry and Arlene Beck!

We ended the trip visiting our friends, the Hume family, in Bethlehem. It was as if we never left, talking all night and laughing. We even went by our old house and knocked on our neighbors door. It was great seeing them!

Thank you to everyone for welcoming us into your homes, feeding us, taking the time to be with us, being great with our kids, and making us feel great to be in PA!

Have to say, McIntyres.....we missed you and thought of you a lot!

All around, it was a wonderful trip, especially with our new Corin in arms. SUCCESS!!!

The Electric City

This trip marked 5 years to the week that we moved from PA to NC. Some things you miss, some things you forget, and some things change while you're gone. Some things you count on like amazing mountains and great pizza! Then there's things you took for granted, like living a few blocks from the beautiful St. Ann's Basilica. Finally, there's the nice changes that have occurred like the renovation of Nay Aug Park. Mark and I enjoyed memories while the kids constantly remarked on how different everything looked...all good!
