"Expectations"

In the midst of a struggle to find comfort and solace, comes quite possibly the best remedy there is.

For those we have lost will be tangible once more because of one small person.

We cannot wait to meet you. We love you already.

The Call - 2011

They took up his time, they kept him on his toes, they checked in on the elves.

It's long, but it's necessary folks.

And Santa delivered.

A McNamara Tradition

On December 17th, anyone with the last name McNamara, made their way to East Greenwich, RI at the beckoning of Nana and Gramp to receive their gift of warm food and warm people at their annual holiday dinner. There were many McNamaras we wish could have joined us, but we tried to live up to the name despite their absences. A very large "thank you" to Nana and Gramp for spoiling us with some much-needed family time!

A Very Chatham Christmas 2011

I feel like I just posted last year's Chatham Christmas celebration and here I am doing it again! With only the Preneta Family unable to be with us, we had a very respectable turnout at the Reed home in Rehoboth for the annual holiday extravaganza. Robin and Dave - again - threw a fantastic, worry-free party. My only complaint? It all went by too quickly. We were joined this year by little Valentina Tieri, perhaps the missing (and coveted I might add) piece to the Chatham puzzle...and what a beauty! I'd say from the pictures that follow, this party was pretty darn fun...

Giving Thanks

So many things to be thankful for. SOOOOOOO good to be part of this family...
