No more pencils, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks!

Ryan is officially done with his M.S. Systems Engineering at John Hopkins University! He graduated with all A's... top honors! We are planning on him walking in commencement in late May... depending on baby A-Lo's arrival!

Since finishing, Ryan has been relaxing with a bottle of Sam Adams and watching his favorite movie "Christmas Vacation"

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving in our home! We did all of the cooking (thanks to Mom Kerzner for coming over and helping with the turkey) We got up early Thanksgiving morning, turned on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and started cooking! We ate around 2:30pm - dinner went by so fast! We rested for a bit then enjoyed apple pie and triple chocolate fudge pie. We were so excited to finally eat off of our beautiful china. Luckily everyone helped clean up and wash the china (by hand) so I was able to put it right away! We had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed spending it with our family!

Baby Update

On Tuesday, November 11 we went for a check up. We were able to hear the heartbeat which was amazing! We go back to the doctor on December 9th (14 weeks along) for a checkup. We are eagerly awaiting our January appointment to find out the sex of the baby!

St. Pancras 100 Year Reunion

Krysta went to the same Catholic School in Glendale, Queens that her parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents also attended. On Saturday, November 1 we went with Krysta's parents to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of St. Pancras School. We attended mass then a dinner dance.

Our New Adventure...

On June 8, we are expecting our new adventure to arrive. We told our parents this past weekend and they are extremely excited to be grandparents!!! (Everything happened so fast we didn't get a picture)

Krysta is a little over 7 weeks along and her next doctors appointment is November 11. According to the Chinese gender predictor, it says that we will be having a girl. We will find out at the end of January and we will be thrilled either way!

Celebrating our 1st Anniversary

It's hard to believe that a year has flown by... we are so happy and thankful for each other, our family and our friends. It has been an amazing year... but the best is yet to come... Here are a few of our favorite pictures from our beautiful wedding.

To celebrate our anniversary, Mom and Dad Kerzner took us to Outback and gave us the 1st anniversary Precious Moment, tickets to see Wicked on Broadway on Halloween and dinner in NYC before the play. Thank you to our family and friends for the cards, well wishes and presents.

I wanted to feed eachother bread like we did cake at our wedding but Ryan didn't go for it...

Ryan had roses sent to Krysta's office! He ordered brown roses but got the call this morning that they didn't make it through customs (brown roses have to be flown in) but the orange/pinkish ones that arrived were absolutely beautiful!
