Mark, Liz, & Lydia



With the addition of Lydia in October, our household has evolved. As we entered parenthood, we embraced the challenges and opportunities for growth and learning in a much different arena than we were used to! She keeps us on our toes. We praise God for the miracle of her life and the countless blessings and abounding joy she brings.

Mark continues to work at the Chambersburg Hospital as an Occupational Therapist. He's enjoying the additional leadership opportunities he has - being a preceptor to new employees as well as a mentor to students. He especially likes when he's the "charge" therapist on weekends - you can see where this is heading! Rotating throughout the hospital has kept his clinical skills sharp. His basement project is coming along (after many months!). By the time he's finished his precious "man-space" for watching the Giants may have morphed into a playroom!

After 5 years working as an OT in the skilled nursing center we've decided for me to transiton to a PRN status and so I may stay at home with Lyd-kid. These days I'm called in on an "as needed" basis help to keep my hand in the professional world. My days are busy with "strollercize" at the YMCA, "mom's group," church activities, photographing Lydia (and subsequently keeping LA Camera in business) and cleaning up "spit-up" :).

Guinney-boy is enjoying the company during the day - he maintains his post lounging on our bed. He loves his walks, rides, and romps with his cousin, Sophie. We maintain our stance that he is the best dog ever - certainly a key part of our family.
