Katie's pics




Update from Pittsburgh

Hello long lost family--

Here are some pics of Katie over the last few months, she is our little terror. For a quick update, Erin and I are enjoying Pittsburgh. Erin continues to carry the family as she continues to work hard with her family's adoption business and take care of Katie during the day. I continue to spend Erin's money, as I continue my legal education. We will be heading to Guatemala in a few weeks for spring break, to see Erin's parents who live down there for half the year (doing orphanage work).

We will be heading to Charlotte, North Carolina for the summer to work at a law firm called Dechert. They are a big international firm and I will likely be doing legal work that deals with corporate finance/banking transactions. I am excited for the experience and the perks of working at a big firm, the firm flies its summer associates to London for five days over the summer (in reality they are trying to lull us into thinking life at a big law firm is fun, so I will eventually be paying for my fun times--but I might as well enjoy it for the summer). Erin is excited to get nearer to family, she has a sister and a cousin in Charlotte and her family is only a few hours away. We plan on living in Charlotte after school, so it worked out great.

Erin and I have started the process of getting ready to adopt in the fall--so we are getting excited about adding a new little one to the mix. That is what's new with us--unfortunately this summer we will not be able to make it to the family reunion due to work and a "enjoy it while we can" trip to Brazil. I hope this short blog will make up for our lack of presence at the reunion.

This is the last one--promise. It's my favorite from Palenque, more ancient ruins.



Mr. Croc on the River Sidon. The boat trip was one of many highlights of our trip.


Farmer's Market in Almalonga. Yes, those are radishes, not tomatoes! It's the perfect climate for growing everything and anything!
Traditional dress of Guatemala--cute ladies and girls in the Ancient Capital of Guatemala called Antigua!


For all you "Star Wars" Fans you'll recognize these from Episode 6: "Return of the Jedi". These pictures were taken from on top of another pyramid at Tikal--amazing ancient ruins and scenery.
Here is the beginning of our Book of Mormon Tour last November. This is the Guatemala City Temple. It reminded us of the Boise and Chicago Temples. We had a wonderful time and the following pictures are just a few of my favorites.

Huh?

This is my first time ever posting to a blog. This is so exciting! I just thought I would put this fun picture of Grace, because it seems like you're always supposed to put pictures. This is just as easy as the MyFamily deal, and it's free. Can't beat that. Anyway, I love you all. Good Night!

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY again, Adam!

For you, Liz


I thought you'd like a picture of Gabbie in one of your girls' outfits for nostalgia. I love these kinds of clothes for kids. Easy, one-piece, covers arms and legs, and on top of all that - super cute. Thanks, Lizzie!

Could this work?

Hey Sanofsky's!!
Would a blog be as good or better than the family website? It's free and easy to use. You would only need to sign in with a G-mail account (google) in order to make any of your own posts.
