     Amy, Michael & Henry

Michael
I am currently an art director for a Catholic publisher - creating catalogs, ads and more. Home is where my heart is. I enjoy being a dad. Henry is such a joy in my life. I love to see Henry's smiling face when I come home. That's when Dad and Henry time starts. We sit on the floor and build with legos, draw pictures, or read fun stories. I am an avid gardner, working in our yard, adding new plants and nurturing them. I enjoy seeing a good broadway musical. I love to share laughs and good times with our friends and family and their children.

Amy
I am a stay at home mom with our son James Henry. After waiting three and a half years, I really enjoy being home with Henry. I work part-time from home and Henry and I also work as school crossing guard. Henry waves to the kids and cars as they go by. I come from a family of six. Even though they are in different states we communicate frequently via e-mail and get together for the summer and holidays. Christmas is a great time with my family. Everyone e-mails their Christmas lists and we get together to buy presents for each other. Christmas Dinner is at my mom and dad's house. The table usually is set for about 25 people. My aunt, great uncle and my dad's cousins join our family for this special time. One of my hobbies is knitting.

Henry
I am a two-year-old playful and happy boy. Mom and I are very busy reading books, playing in puddles and going to the park. I love my Elmo, be it on my dvd, my Hokey Pokey Elmo or the big stuffed Elmo I sleep with. I also visit with Nana and Papa every week. They take me to McDonalds for a Happy Meal, to the playland in the mall or for a walk around the block. I have a lot of cousins. They are so fun. I enjoy spending time with them. I love them all.

Our Family
We're a team. We share everything yet allow each other the freedom to be ourselves. Our relationship continues to grow stronger through both good and bad times. From talking about big issues such as raising a family to smaller everyday issues, we openly and honestly communicate with each other and understand and respect each other.

We are part of a warm and loving family. We have 10 nephews and 1 niece plus 3 aunts and 2 uncles. We traditionally gather together for holidays and special occasions at our parents, and the house is filled with fun, laughter and good times.

Our Home
We live in a cape cod house and are proud to be in a neighborhood that has been voted the most livable area in the city. Our community is established, safe and has many fine schools and parks within walking distance. Even our dentist and physicians are a few blocks away.
