Welcome to the Joes

My sister-in-law, Rebecca, has inspired me to start a blog. So, here it is and welcome! I've enjoyed reading her family's blog as well as our friend Brian's blog (from Dracut, MA) so I hope I can keep things as interesting as they have done.

You may ask why our blog is called The Joes. It's not just a tribute to our little bundle of joy, Joseph, and his daddy who is called Joe by his family. No, this is a story for Jason to tell. Ask him about Joe S. Fyttian and you'll get a special treat. I love the Joes - they don't come around to visit as often as I'd like. Someday I hope Joseph will act like a Joe. I probably need to be careful what I wish for... ;)

Tomorrow is the inauguration of President Obama. I'll be watching the historical event and am truly looking forward to the official beginning of his presidential leadership of this country. Not everyone shares my opinion, but I know we can respect each other's views. My niece, Wendy, is performing at the inauguration with the Windsor High School marching band. She's the captain of the corps, just as I was and I believe Julie was. She and her band were on the CBS Early Show this morning and I watched it in tears - so excited for Wendy, touched by all that the folks in Windsor (including Julie, John, and their family) have gone through and are still going through because of the tornado in May 2008, and excited for the inauguration. Yes, I'm a softie. You all know that.
