Meet Jeanne "Stewart"

No my mom is not Martha Stewart but she may as well change her name from Jeanne Lesniewicz to Jeanne Stewart. Check out these baby winter hats and mittens that she hand makes! She recycles wool sweaters, boils the wool, and mix matches all the sweater types choosing just the perfect color palette of fabric swatches and sews them into these adorable hats & mittens. She makes adult sizes too. The first year she did these i snagged a baby set for myself.....just innnnnnnnn case! Vincent Gutman (Jenny's (Tomsich) son) above sported Jeanne's first line of baby hats in 2006!

Clark's 40th Wedding Anniversary!

JoAnne & Peter Clark, Justin's parents, celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary on October 13, 2007. Hadley, Justin's sister, was able to pull off an anniversary surprise party for JoAnne in Vermont (we had to inform Peter of it due to his crazy work schedule) . Let's just say JoAnne was pleasantly surprised by the 40-some guests who traveled near and far to spend the evening celebrating in Strafford, Vermont!

Jack Anthony LaRe Is Here!

Meet baby Jack. He is the new baby boy of Amy & Jeff LaRe. A little history for you here...Amy was Justin's babysitter & is still very close with the Clark family :) Jack was born on October 13, 2007 (that date may ring a bell....it was the Clark's 40th wedding anniversary as noted above!). Now this shot was picture worthy for two very important reasons: 1. baby jack is in it and 2. Justin is actually holding a baby!!! yeah, that doesn't happen much – actually HARDLY EVER. Amy and I are perhaps a little guilty for this –we co-conspired on this shot. Amy very quickly and of course very carefully dropped Jack into justin's arms and walked away giving him no choice while i stood by ready with camera in hand. SNAP! Our plan worked brilliantly as you can tell by this photo.

Jack is very lucky to have such cool parents and an even cooler sister (props to you Kailee!)

Congrats to the Amy & Jeff for a fine addition to their entire family!
