It's a Wonderful Life

Carl and I knew that we would not be able to travel for the 2005 holiday triad (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years) with our little pumpkin in tow so we anticipated a bit of a lonely holiday season. We couldn't have been more off-base. In Lily's 6 1/2 weeks of life, she has met her Grandma Meyer, Grandma Deetz (Granny Janny), Grandpa Deetz, Aunt Angela, Aunt Ingrid, and Uncle Alexander. We just have to say that our families rock. We want everyone to know how much we appreciate them coming all the way to Baltimore to see Lily and to be with us for the holidays - it was the best gift we could have possibly gotten. And, we want to say a special thank you to Aunt Ingrid for allowing Carl and me to go on two dates while she was here - to see Hairspray (the musical) and Fun with Dick and Jane (the movie). Our first family travel plans are a trip to St. Louis sometime in the month of February to meet Lily's Pellerito and Meyer relatives, and we can't wait! Hopefully, a trip to the farm to see Carl's relatives will not be far behind. We will let everyone know when we nail down definite dates. Happy New Year to everyone!!
