Respire- October 22-24, 2009
Greg and I headed back to Baltimore for a much lengthier stay (3 days!) on October 22nd. Greg's buddy Dave Cross released Respire, his third movie, and we went to see the premiere. Greg was equally excited to meet up with his old friends Chris and Erum from his days at Andover High School.
When we talked to Dave before the movie, he was apprehensive because this was a different type of movie than his first two, and he wasn't sure how people were going to react to that. However, he didn't need to worry, because the movie was great! We sat next to Greg's friend Michelle and her husband Brian. She also went to high school with Greg.
After the movie, we all went to Dave's after-party. There, Dave seemed much more relaxed, but with so many people there to celebrate, we only had a few minutes with him. We made some plans to meet up with him on Friday night, just the three of us. Dave is always very welcoming to me, and I always appreciate his kindness.
On Friday, we had a great time catching up with Dave. Later in the evening, we were joined by some of his friends from the movie. It was a great night, and it made the trip all the more special for Greg to have that time with Dave. On Saturday, we headed home, determined not to go back to Baltimore for quite some time!

Operation Armadillo- October 14-15, 2009
It all started with an e-mail on July 9, 2008. Alex, a few days earlier at Supernatural Thursday, casually mentioned that he had looked at some rings for his beautiful girlfriend Lauren. We joked that it would be an awesome wedding gift from us to get the groom's cake from the Ace of Cakes. Well, less than a week later, the plan was set. We had to wait three months for the engagement, but in happened in October. All systems were go as top secret plans were hatched, contracts were signed, and contraptions (or cartraptions) were built after engineering consultations with Dave Cavalieri. The biggest kick was keeping it all a secret from the bride, the groom, and the bride's mother. Our 11 hours in Baltimore flew by, but the memories were well worth the trip!

Bye, Mommy & Daddy! October 14, 2009
We had our first trip away from Daniel as we launched Operation Armadillo. We were only gone about 36 hours, thankfully!

Weekend in New England- October 4, 2009
On Sunday, Sarah, Emily, Mom and I went on a walk (or drive) down memory lane. Our hotel was right by Bapa's station. Every time I visit the area I stop in and buy something. While I don't have as many exciting memories as Jeff does, I still remember being there and riding on the car lifts! We also saw the house Nanny and Bapa lived in when Mom was born and where she took accordion lessons.
We drove down Pembroke Road and saw Nanny & Bapa's old house. They lived at 135 Pembroke Road, the house where my mom grew up, but my memories are at the house next door, at 133 Pembroke Road. Nanny and Bapa built that house, and it is where I spent my time with them. Next we visited her elementary school and the church where she was married and my brother was baptized.
After our tour, we headed back to pack up for our trip home. We stopped by to say our farewells to Aunt Chris and Uncle Bill. Then we headed to Manchester to meet Joe, Kristin & Arwen for lunch before our flight. Arwen is one month older than Daniel, and as cute as can be! I'd love to show you a picture, but no one took one! We had a great visit, but then it was time to head home. Everyone had a great flight, and we arrived home safe and sound . . . but exhausted!
