Happy New Year!

Here's a photo of the Jewett Family on the last day of 2007...

As 2007 comes to a close, we want to wish everyone a very happy, and safe, new year!
We've had an exciting and adventurous year with an infant-turned-toddler in our household. Benjamin has learned and changed so much this year- it's been a really amazing and wonderful (and sometimes challenging!) experience.
Jay is enjoying work at CMMC and is looking forward to a three-week adventure in the Dominican Republic as a medical officer this January. Once back, he is considering leaving Critical Care for employment in an Emergency Department. Changes all the time!
Katie is looking at about a month more of school before (finally!) getting her masters degree in occupational therapy. This means applying to take a (very scary) exam, and finding a job! January will be a difficult month with Jay gone, but we're hoping he has a wonderful experience and look forward to him getting home towards the end of the month.
Happy 2008 to all!

Our Holidays

We had a wonderful week of holiday celebration. Christmas morning we were at our house to open gifts, then went to Nana & Grampie Dwyer's where Ben got to play with his cousins- Madelyn, Grace, and Claire. Then we went to Sugarloaf for a couple of days. Ben got a new sled for Christmas & we took him out on the ski trails- he loved it!

Holiday Photos

Here's Benjamin in his 'official' holiday photos.
It's hard to believe he's 16 months old!
We're looking forward to Christmas this year- hoping he'll be excited about opening packages. We'll be at Nana & Grampie Dwyer's on Christmas morning, then the following day we'll go to Sugarloaf for a night or two with Grammie & Grampy Phil Simpson and the Bronsons. Looking forward to family time this holiday season.
Hope everyone is doing well!

Ben in the snow

Here he is- ready for his first steps in some snow (from last Monday's big storm)...

His first few steps didn't turn out so well for him, as he ended up with a face full of snow. Boy, wasn't he mad! Can't really say I blame him, poor guy.

We did finally get out and enjoy it though!

Happy Retirement Mom/Nana!

Yay! Mom has retired from the Maine State Library and can now focus on her quilting/sewing projects. Congratulations Mom/Nana! We love you & are excited to be able to see you more now! Check out Mom's website: www.bonniedwyer.com
