Summer 2014

We spent the summer of 2014 living in Michigan with Dave's parents. Dave was studying for the Illinois Bar. We were getting ready to move to Raleigh, NC in August. We had a great summer and really enjoyed spending time with Dave's parents and sister Rachel. Marcus loved being around his grandparents a lot too---and he loved playing on their tennis court, all the time.

 Little James, about 4 months old.

 James and Marcus.

 Lots of Jame and Marcus :)

 They loved playing with cars on our bed that summer.

Dave's parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary by inviting us all to Mackinac Island. We had so much fun!!

Harvard Law School Graduation

CONGRATULATIONS DAVE!!

He did it---we knew he could :). Liz, Marcus and James are so proud!!

We were excited for Dave to be finished with Law School. It was definitely bitter-sweet though. We made so many great friends and had such fun times in Cambridge. Dave also really enjoys school. But we were happy to enter the "real world" and start his career.

Here are some pictures from the occasion:

 Dave and James---getting ready to walk!

Spring 2014

Spring of 2014 was busy busy busy. It was Dave's last semester of Law school and we added James to our little family. Here are some highlights:

 Marcus, age 2. What a handsome little guy.

 Tennis anyone? He is definitely our little athlete!

 James's baby blessing day. He's so happy---you see that cute smile??

 Love the little owl hat. Thanks mom!

 And matching booties?? Adorable :)

 Nothing cuter than a half naked little baby.

 Sleepy time with daddy.

James has the sweetest expressions.
