Lewey Lake Campout, Memorial Day '08

The "Hannay's" spent Memorial Day weekend at Lewey Lake in the Adirondacks. We all had a great time. The weather was "iffy" on Friday and Saturday but was SPECTACULAR on Sunday when we put in our canoe on Indian Lake and enjoyed a relaxing day. Enjoy the pics!

Springtime Snowfall (Mar 29, '08)

We woke up Friday morning to a phonecall from our school principal asking Gayle to postpone our scheduled fundraising meeting due to snow. Granted, it was 6:30am and she woke me up... but the night before it was a gorgeous spring night...not even a possibility of snow! Groggily, I looked out the window and LOW AND BEHOLD, there was a good 6 inches on the ground...all schools were cancelled. WE'VE GOT A SNOW DAY IN THE END OF MARCH! Here's some pictures of a few hours of our day today out back on a hike around the property. What a georgeous day!

It was a fun hike! 20 degrees and cold, but GREAT exercise and wonderful family time!

MOHONK before wisdom teeth...

With the impending wisdom teeth extraction planned for tomorrow morning, my honey took the day off and wisked me away to Mohonk for the day! What a GREAT day! We enjoyed a number of relaxing moments in front of a few fireplaces, a wonderful meal complete with three desserts! Then we skated at the pavillion ALL BY OURSELVES on perfect zambonied ice! That was followed by more fireplace conversations and a 4pm swedish massage and early evening in the spa! My hair froze in the outdoor mineral pool as it was a balmy 4 degrees, but it was AWESOME! I'm so relaxed I'm almost jello! Here's some pictures of us today:

Here are a few pictures from last week when I took the kids to my brother Deans. We visited the Carpenter Museum. The kids had a fabulous time making playdoh sushi in their new restaurant, the Carley Diner:

Christmas 2007 Highlights!

Christmas is ALWAYS a magical time for our family...but this year we found ourselves almost completely incapacitated by the explosive stomach flu. Kasey was the only one untouched by it, thankfully, yet even though it knocked us out for Christmas, it only lasted 24 hours. We were able to recover our Christmas in the days that followed. Though a few plans got cancelled we were still able to enjoy this precious season of the celebration of Christ's birth. We spent New Years Eve with the Guilzon family sledding on a new foot of snow, making pizza's and playing "Decorate the Daddy's" as seen in the pictures below. Enjoy. Our hope is that you all experienced God's love in a personal way this Christmas season. God bless you all!

We spent New Years Day Snowshoeing around the property and made a winter campfire to roast some marshmallows. Lots of fun!
God blessed us with a gorgeous sunset to end an already GREAT New Years day!
