Things have finally seemed to mellow out for us. Of course there’s always something to do….

We are doing well. We have both managed to stay pretty healthy in the last few months. I (Meredith) had a bit of a chest cold a few weeks ago and Pat battled a small cold/flu also about a month ago. Other than that we have a clean bill of health! Considering all the germs I am around with the kiddos it’s amazing that we have stayed as healthy as we have.

Some of the more exciting news for us is that I have started a new job! I consider it a promotion. I am now teaching PreK Counts in a KinderCare in Lancaster. I received a raise and it cuts the commute in half! What a blessing! This week will be my first full week in the classroom. I have a lot to work on but am thrilled to take on this challenge!

Theo is doing well. Pat jokes that he is going to put him up for adoption. I know that he could never actually do that. He loves Theo way too much! I am constantly pleased with the progress he is making in his social skills (with both people and other animals!) and also with his training. He actually rings his bell now to go outside! Hopefully accidents inside will be a thing of the past very soon! He has doubled in size and is about 4.5lbs now. I did some research today and if my calculations serve me right Theo will end up to be about 8lbs at fully grown. I would love to keep him tiny forever!


We are excited to spend out first holidays together as a married couple. I’m sure the next few months will be emotional and challenging at times but I am excited to grown and learn from them!

Below is a picture from Sam and Liz's wedding. It was beautiful and we were honored to be a part of it!
