Holiday greetings! We hope this letter finds you well.
Reagan had an exciting first full year. She turned 1 in July, inviting her friends to a party on the Melrose Common. Reagan started walking this year and loves to follow Ava around and do what her big sister does. We found out this year that Reagan is allergic to many foods, with eczema being the reaction to most of them. Fortunately, she is an extremely happy and sweet little girl who doesn’t let anything get her down.
Ava’s year was non-stop with several trips, hosting visitors (aka, babysitters), and a full slate of activities. She turned three, throwing a party at The Little Gym, where she goes for tumbling classes.
If Reagan had an “exciting” year, and Ava had a year with “non-stop” activities, then Marie must have been very busy. And she was. Marie does a great job keeping the girls active. She also had some fun herself, including going to a New Kids On The Block concert.
Cary had a full year with work, weddings and trips. Keeping up with the girls (all of them) takes everything he has. Cary is approaching five years at BAE Systems and living in the Boston area. Marie is only a few months behind. It’s amazing how time flies.
Congratulations to all of our family and friends who tied the knot this year and invited us to participate in the celebration: Cara and Keith Redding, Ashleigh and Adam Brewer, June and Zach Craun, Jenn and Sean Mulready, and Anna and Chris Duffy. We had a great time at the weddings and were honored to attend.
Our family, in various combinations, made several trips this year. The entire clan stayed with Aunt Nancy in Del Ray Beach, Florida to visit with her and Brandon and his family. We met some of the Brewers in Hershey, PA to, ride roller coasters and eat chocolate. A gracious friend of Aunt Nancy’s offered her house on Cape Cod, so the four of us and Nick and Ann hung out on the Cape for a weekend. Cary went to Atlantic City, NJ for Sean’s bachelor party. Marie and the girls stayed in Ohio between Thanksgiving and Christmas for a nice extended visit. And finally, Marie and Cary were also able to take a couple of trips on their own due to Ava and Reagan’s wonderful grandparents babysitting. We had a fun year visiting our family and friends!
Happy holidays and a blessed 2014 from the Wises: Marie, Cary, Ava and Reagan.
