Soon after Alex's arrival we moved to Pennsylvania.
Alex and Mommy flew together for the first time. What an adventure!

We were lucky enough to be in Pennsylvania for Alex's
first Christmas. We spent a lot of time celebrating with our family.

In January we traveled back to New Orleans for

our goddaughter Frances Gerth's christening.

The Gerths came to Pennsylvania

in March for Alex's Christening
