We attended a dear friend's wedding, which reminded us of our own love and commitment to one another.

We spend a ton of time in Central Park together! Being outside in nature is our favorite.

Joy is a nurturer at heart. She loves children, but also animals. This moment occurred on our last family vacation, a dream come true, to feed a wild deer out of her hand.

Joy has a love for DIY Halloween Costumes-the year we were "Price is Right Contestants."

We love taking vacations to make memories that will last forever. One of our favorite places to visit is the beach!

We love to throw a good party! Any chance to celebrate one another is something we truly value.

Every year we gather with friends and family for Thanksgiving meals, laughter, and love. These are some of our dearest, most faithful ones.
Joy's family in Grandma's backyard (sisters, nephew, Grandma). Family is super important to us, and we have such great memories together.
At our cabin, our dear friend shows our son how to plant rosemary and basil. Life in the city is amazing, but the cabin offers another type of living only nature could give you.
Our son looking up to his big cousin in the dugout. We love sports, and also cheering for those we love!

Our son took this pic of Joy singing Christmas carols.

We love to laugh.

We regularly take family runs in Central Park. Being active and healthy is something that's important to us, and we have a lot of fun doing it.

Viewing the NYC Christmas decorations, an annual tradition.

Nana and Papa love to visit us in our country home. Popsicles on the back of the pickup truck is a must on a hot day. :)

Family bike rides are one of our shared loves.

Every Thanksgiving, we get a chance to visit the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, not too far from where we live. It's a favorite tradition!

Every Fall we go apple picking as a family. It's a great tradition with lasting memories.

Joy LOVES ice skating. Ben. . .loves Joy, so he will come along.

Sometimes we still get dressed up and go out together. :)

Our son had the opportunity to be in a dear friend's wedding. Even the dog was involved!

When it's cold outside, why not get inside and jump around as a family?!
Our true passion for hiking brings us together again and again for days of beauty and adventure.
We used to go to an annual NYC pop-up dinner party every year called Diner En Blanc, where everyone is dressed from head to toe in white!


Mama and son, apple picking, one of our favorite fall traditions as a family.

We LOVE hiking together as a family. These two love to be together. I'm so thankful our son has an amazing daddy to ride on his shoulders, and teach him the ways of being a man. :)

Time with friends upstate, we are strong believers in community life.
Visiting the country, Joy teaches our son about the majestic animals of the farm.
