Greetings!
Happy holidays from our family to yours!
This year we welcomed the newest member of the family - AJ! He's now nine months old and getting big fast! We're looking forward to AJ's first Christmas.
Eric is still working at Seagate and Lisa is still at Constant Contact. We've both switched to a four day work week. Eric stays home with AJ on Mondays and Lisa's home on Fridays. AJ's Paw-Paw (Lisa's mom) comes to stay with us midweek to watch him while we're at work. We're very lucky and happy to have her help with childcare. |
Welcome AJ!

Friends and family gathered at a paint-your-own pottery studio in Worcestor, MA for a baby shower in February. We had a great time and ended up with lots of gifts and decorations for AJ's room. Thanks to Ellen, Janice, Cindy and Andrea for hosting a wonderful baby shower! |
| Andrew (AJ) James Choy Mastromarchi was born on March 30th, 2008. He is named after his great-grandfather and his grandpa. |

Home Renovations
This year we renovated two of the bedrooms upstairs. Both rooms were stripped of wallpaper and painted. Since Lisa was pregnant at the time, we had quite a challenge finding nontoxic ways to remove the paper. After spraying lots of vinegar, steaming, scraping, sanding, and spackling, we got all the paper and glue off the walls. The guest room was converted into the baby's room and the spare bedroom we'd been using primarily for storage became the new guest room where Cindy stays when she's with us. 
We also installed new windows on the first floor. The kitchen casement windows were replaced with a double hung window. We also changed the look of the windows by leaving the bottom panes undivided. The overall look is much more contemporary.

We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year!
Love, Lisa Choy, Eric & AJ Mastromarchi |
