Baltimore Blizzard of '09

Our house in the Snow :) The heart we made in the snow.

Well Robin said all she wanted for Christmas was snow and boy did she get it. It rarely snows like this in Baltimore. We know you are used to it in Indy, but we must admit it's been a while since we have seen this much snow. The pictures above are from yesterday (12.19.09) at 9:00am. It didn't stop snowing until 9:00pm. We received anywhere from 20-30 inches. Wooo hooo Robin is excited! We had to shovel a place for the dogs to go out, otherwise they would be lost in the snow:) It's been a great weekend....Merry Christmas to us!

Thanksgiving/Wedding/Cruise Vacation!

We spent our Thanksgiving on a cruise ship sailing the Caribbean. Yes, it was as great as it sounds! Daniel's Mom Lynn married her new husband Chris on the ship the first day we set sail. After the wedding we had a lovely reception to celebrate their marriage and to kick off the vacation. Our ports of call were Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica. In Cozumel we swam with stingray, as you can see in the picture above. It was so fun, surprisingly. Then in Grand Cayman we did what is called "Sea Trek". It's where you put on a moon man looking helmet and walk on the ocean floor. It was awesome! After that we rented some snorkel equipment and spent the rest of the day snorkeling on our own. I was the best snorkeling we have ever done, we highly recommend! Lastly in Jamaica the whole family spent Thanksgiving together on the beach relaxing and having fun. Later we had dinner together on the ship. Lots of fun things took place on the ship during our sail days but we can't reveal it all. After all what happens on the ship stays on the ship :)

Happy Halloween!

A Sparkling send off!

We spent our Halloween night with friends, celebrating the marriage of Rachel and Scott. They have become very good friends of ours since we moved here to Baltimore. The evening was formal and festive, reminiscent of a masquerade ball. It was a perfect way for Rachel and Scott so start their lives together. We love them so much and wish them all the best!

About two weekends ago we spent our Saturday with the dogs. Reggie and Sam had so much fun playing with the hundreds of dogs at Dogfest. It was a great way to spend a Saturday relaxing, and the best part was all proceeds went to the Humane Society!

Daniel surprised me by planning an unforgettable birthday weekend. We started by waking up Saturday morning and having breakfast at a restaurant called Miss Shirley's. http://www.missshirleys.com/. It was phenomenal! For those of you from Indy, it rivals Le Peep, and you know how we love Le Peep. Then walked over to the inner harbor and took a paddle boat ride. That was fun, but a lot of work :). It was great to see the city from the water. Next he took me down memory lane, way down. When I was a kid I loved to go roller skating. I was at the roller skating rink every weekend. So you guessed it, we went roller skating. It was a blast, and I must admit.....I still got it! We skated for about an hour or so then headed home for a nap. Later that night we went to dinner at a place called Woodberry Kitchen. http://www.woodberrykitchen.com/. Everything was so good, and we had a wonderful evening together. We came home and went to bed because the best was yet to come. Sunday morning we woke up at 5:00am to drive about 45min north to catch a hot-air balloon ride. We watched them inflate the balloon, we hopped in, and away we went. Wow, was it breathtaking. It's something I have always wanted to do. It was so peaceful and romantic. I will never forget it! I must give two thumbs up to the hubbs for pulling off one of the best birthdays I have ever had. I love him so much!

Labor Day with the Senecal Clan

The Senecal Family!

We made the drive to Simpsonville, KY over labor day to spend some time with the Senecal side of the family. It was the first time in a long time we were all in the same place at the same time. We had so much fun together I think is might become a yearly trip!

Changes in the Senecal Household!

Random Picture but it's about that time....GO COLTS!

Okay so summer is ending and we are hitting a bit of a lull. We aren't doing as many activities as we would like. However there are some note worthy changes happening in the Senecal household. Daniel has started a new job. His first week is complete and the verdict is in....it's good! Thankfully the new job is fantastic and just what the doctor ordered. He is working for a company called TESSCO. It was voted one of the top 100 places to work in Baltimore and was on Forbes list of top 200 best small companies. This has been such a blessing. He will be doing sales for them and we look forward to a long and happy career with TESSCO. Robin has taken a new position with her current company American Office. She will be transitioning out of design and into an A&D role. She will be visiting Architectural and Design firms in Baltimore and educating them on new products her firm has to offer. It will be a marketing/sales position. Both changes are welcomed with open arms. We are so happy and so blessed to be where we are in life.
