Happy New Year!

This year, Melissa had to cover the inauguration of Gov. Eliot Spitzer, and Joe wanted to attend. So instead of running away to New York City or go to a crazy concert, we decided to have a few close friends over to celebrate the New Year.


The girls.
The boys.
Us after midnight.
After hugs and kissed at midnight, we went outside to play with sparklers.
And Molly and Paul stuck it out with us until the end!

And we're back!

Sorry folks! Between the holidays, the inauguration and Blogger changing its system, it has been a while!
Laura released her CD, Whiskey and Springtime, and Joe played banjo at the show (and on two tracks on the record).
We hosted Thanksgiving again.
We've gotten the chance to play with our favorite people.
And Melissa made Joe a Christmas sweater!!!
