Whitney turns 22!!!

Didn't Whit just turn 21?? I remember posting about it not too long ago. I guess it has been a year. No better reason to celebrate by going to Fire and Ice in Middlebury with Andrew and Whitney.




Here she is admiring her custom, handmade necklace from Brad.


After much thought of what to get Whit, I found the perfect Pandora bracelet with a birthstone charm and two ForgetMeKnots.






By the looks of WHIT she is stuffed and needing to be carried to the car.


It was great to have Andrew along with us. Brad and I give two thumbs up to him as Whit's boyfriend. He is so polite, appreciative, and hard working.




I feel so lucky to have Miss Whitney in my life.



Happy Birthday from the GoodHales!!!We love you Whitney!!

Winter Break

Since I could not spend Valentines day with my honey because he was working, I had the opportunity to meet up with photo buddy Bernie at a resort in NH. But before I left these beautiful roses were waiting for me.
This is the resort, in the middle of NOWHERE!








The view from our room.


The trip happened to just correspond with Miss Gina's school break. She was up for an adventure. I'm not sure if that was supposed to include fire alarms at 3am and a relocation of our room. But we certainly got exercise, not so much from the snow shoeing but the many, many, many flights of stairs. A great time was had, full of fine food, fine wine, and certainly lots of laughs.

New Knee for Mom

After a month delay, the big day was finally here. Donna's mom Beverly had her knee replaced after injuring it slipping on a grape at the grocery store. Just hours after the surgery Beverly was in good spirits and giving the thumbs up!
Didn't take her long to make herself at home and get her Soaps on. The contraption seen here is exercising he knee ( same day of the surgery).




Just four days later including a delay from a snowstorm she is home already. Apparently there has been great strides in the recommended recuperation for this type of procedure. Donna did her best traveling back and forth to Hyde Park to help out as much as she could. At this rate running marathons by spring should be in order.

Weddings By Expressions

The Expressions family is proud to announce Weddings by Expressions. With Donna's decision to only do ten weddings a year,there was an opportunity to start a second wedding line.
Who better to be the photographer for "Weddings" than our own Courtney Stevens. So if you happen to call what you think is our home phone and get Courtney on the answering machine you can still leave a message.

Winter 2011

Winter of 2011 has certainly become a winter reminiscent of those from our childhood. I have not seen snowpiles this high since the 70's. Coming home from work I can not even see our Traverse parked in the driveway.
As much as some complain about the snow you can not argue that the beauty of Vermont during the winter is certainly something to enjoy. Donna took this from her office window. Maybe it will make next years GoodHale calendar

Earlier in the year we had mentioned having the twins up for an overnight. They decided to come up during their winter break. We did not disappoint.
