January- the calm after the storm

In January, I find that many people find themselves in a bit of a sad state after the hustle and bustle of the holidays has passed. It's almost as if you have to regroup after all the shopping and holiday events come to a halt. At the Chester house, we have been able to utilize the month of January to get used to the day-to-day as a three-some as well as spend time with cherished friends and family throughout the month.

Julie is a dear friend from pharmacy school, and we were so happy to get to spend some time with her family as well as introduce the Dougherty family to little Easton.
