Cousins in New York


The 6 Hill cousins live large for a weekend in New York: Adam and Rachel live there, Ryan and Eunice used to, Nate and Eddie had never been before... but none of us have seen the Big Apple like this!

Brian and Ellen's Wedding

We headed out to Baltimore for Brian and Ellen's wedding... Click here for a slideshow of our photos! (and let us know what you think about this new addition to our site!)


We headed out to Baltimore for Brian and Ellen's wedding... here's the snazzy couple in their stylish "bride" and "groom" hats.


We spent the day of the wedding with Jesse and Eileen, touring the nearby battleground of Gettysburg, the site of the largest battle in the Civil War. We got an audio CD to play as we drove around, complete with historical facts and the ocassional battleground background noise to add to the excitement. Made us _almost_ understand the enthusiasm of the re-enactment buffs who come here each year!!

Eunice, Eileen, and Jesse brave the howling winds to defend Little Round Top

The wedding itself was wonderful. A special surprise was seeing Spencer and Marney, visiting from Cambridge. Spencer is a Australian friend of Ryan's from back in high school-- always fantastic to have some time to hang out!

We spent Sunday with Cora in Washington DC. It was a little too early for the cherry blossoms to be in full force, but we managed to find a single tree with the famous flowers on a great walk around the Jefferson memorial.

Funniest part of the weekend: screaching to the side of the road in rural Pennsylvania after seeing this roadside restaurant: Eunice's "A Little Touch of Heaven" Restaurant. Eunice was the Quaker grandmother who founded the place, and there's still a whiteboard for prayer requests when you walk in (top request: pray for the animals displaced by Hurricane Katrina). We had to get Eunice a hoodie, complete with a halo around the "E" in Eunice. That's my Eunice: a little touch of heaven!

Its a boy!



The doctor is 90% sure... its a boy! Our second sonogram shows a healthy litte guy, moving around a ton and generally giving mom a hard time (not really). The video is pretty incredible-- its easy to imagine a personality already. The real question: does he look more like a Waukegan or an Ajax? :)
