Today is the first day...




...of the rest of our blog.

We have started this blog to help me (Laura) with my ongoing loss of short-term memory, by writing down stories as they happen so that we can continue to laugh about them for many years to come.

A little background... our family of three lives in Bedford Hills in Northern Westchester county, NY. It's been a dramatically different experience than the one we shared for the 13 years prior, having moved up from the city, where we both lived separately and subsequently together since the early 90's. It's really lovely up here in Canada... and we are so happy to have landed in a place that we would have chosen had we known more about it when we were looking to move. (Big whew).

Ava turns three in early December and it's been a whirlwind three years. Maybe at some point I'll have the extra time to publish old photos to this but for now, it's purely a future-forward blog.

The picture attached to this posting is from the Sheep and Wool Festival that Gommy, Ava and I went to last weekend. It was a wonderful day. The drive up was spectacular... the Taconic is one of the prettiest roads I've ever been on and this time of year it is just spectacular. We went on almost all of the rides with Ava. Such a memorable day.
