Revel and her cousin Alison have recently started a new blog. The new blog, cranmoms.com, is all about Revel and Alison as they “explore our passions and discover the joys of being moms, wives, and keepers of the home”.

Our little (but getting bigger!) Caroline is 7 months old today! She is doing great and is a joy to watch as she learns new things and gets more interactive each day. We took some pictures with her bear as we like to do every month.
On of our favorite things to do as a family is take long walks. This past weekend we drove over towards the Concord area and walked around and on Walden Pond. The pond was very well frozen and we had such fun walking over it. Afterward Michael treated me to a nice lunch at Helen’s in the center of Concord.
Here I am walking across the pond. It was super cold and windy!
And here’s Caroline in her Valentines outfit (thank you Aunt Susan!) at Helens.
This past weekend we recieved the first snow fall of the season. Here is a glimpse of the snow before it melts!
Tasha and Daisy have been adjusting to their new roles watching over Caroline. Despite our crazy new schedule of nursing and changing diapers we have been able to enjoy some of the beautiful fall weather.

It’s hard to believe a year ago we were exchanging our wedding vows at White Springs. What a beautiful, unforgettable day! We’ve had an amazing first year of marriage. When we look back all we can do is give God thanks for His many blessings. He has not only blessed us with good things such as our health, a new home, a baby on the way, but has poured His out loving kindness by teaching us more and more about His love and grace as we grow together in our marriage.
To celebrate our first anniversary we took advantage of the clear sunny day and drove up to the top Mount Wachusett (we’ll hike it next year!). We then enjoyed an amazing meal at Longfellow’s Wayside Inn.
Here I am at the top of Mount Wachusett.

Michael has been spending a lot of time tidying up the yard. We are thrilled to have so much land around us! Although our wish list seems to keep growing longer we do try to stop and “smell the roses”. Michael took some pictures of our latest vistors:

A couple weeks ago we hired a tree cutting company to help us tidy up our yard. We had several trees cut down and their stumps removed. They also went around the entire yard and trimmed back overgrown and dead branches. What a difference their work made! Our yard looks so much bigger.

My sweet cousins (Alison, Abbie, and Julie) and my dear friend Laura all came together to throw the most amazing baby shower for Miss Cotsford. The shower took place at the Cranebrook Tea Room in South Carver. The room was decorated with beautiful arrangement of flowers and the most amazing cake with the cutest pink giraffe. My heart was so overwhelmed by the love and support of everyone. Miss Cotsford is certainly very blessed to be surrounded by such loving community.
