Pink or Blue

We are so very happy to announce that the bump is a bouncing baby boy! We met my family at the Auld Shebeen with a pink and blue balloon and Nick popped the pink one with a fork to tell them. Sean (3 years old) already just knew it would be a boy but he's a little hesitant to share his toys. Ann & Mary had 2 chairs set up with pink and blue balloons for us to choose which one to sit in :) Kat brought us 2 sets of bibs (she said she could return one) We tortured them until my parents arrived. We saw more internal organs on the sonogram than we ever thought possible and everything looks great. Thanks for your continued love and well wishes. There will be another Ames to pass on the name in the world come November :) xo Kerry & Nick

Costa Family Update

Katelyn's 4th Birthday Party and Costa Family Update

Where does the time go?! Last weekend Katelyn celebrated her 4th birthday with a party at a gym with her friends from school and cousins Hannah, Michael, Sofia and Caiden and a party at home with our family, granparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Everyone had a great time! Here are some pictures from both parties.

We are all doing great! Danny has just 1 week left of Kindergarten and Katelyn has 1 day left of preschool for this year! Danny is off to 1st grade and Kate has one more year of preschool. They are both excited for summer vacation - especially our trip to Oregon! We can't wait to see everyone!

O'Malley Update (Kevin, Karen, Aidan, Sean)

Kevin, Karen, Aidan and Sean will move into their new house in Manassas, VA in next week. They now live just down the road from Kerry & Nick. Aidan is starting First Grade in the fall and Sean will be at Compass School.

Kerry & Nick Update

Kerry& Nick bought a king-sized bed to accommodate the two dogs and the baby they are growing. They are due for a miracle in November.

Michelle & Ben Update

Michelle & Ben will be married 08/08/08! They are busy in the planning process, as well as staying busy at work and with their investor efforts with a brew pub.

Ann & Mairtin Update

Ann & Mairtin have a new house in Fairfax, VA. They have settled in nicely with Jasper and are working on building up Ann's practice & Mairtin's business.

Mary Update

Mary has temporarily moved in with Ann & Mairtin to keep them company and stay close to school (graduates in December) and her work at the vet clinic. She is happily dating Jason and keeping busy with school and work!

Marcus Update

It has been an exciting year for me. I am heading to Queretaro, Mexico with the youth from my church for 8 days on July 1 to help build a church and community center. In August I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at Michelle's wedding. Then in September I'll be heading to South Africa for at least one month. This trip is through as part of the Rotary's Group Study Exchange. I'm very excited about all of the trips and changes that are going on!

Kathleen Update

The past year has brought quite a bit of change for me. I spent most of the year trying to get my divorce finalized, name changed, place to live, new job and house sold. I have completed all but the last. I am starting my new job at a company called Demosphere International (www.demosphere.com) which is located in Falls Church (much closer to Oakton - where I live now). The housing market has plummeted here, but for now the mortgage is covered so I'm not worried. I am so much happier now than I have been in years. I am loving life, excited for my new job, traveling all over (Bermuda, Mexico, Portland, Dominican Republic and Virgin Islands) and dating an awesome guy too. I am so thankful for all the love and support that I have received from everyone in my immediate and extended family and look forward to seeing you all in August! :)
