Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

December 9th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all.  We wish you health and heaps of happiness in the year to come.  Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah……!!!!!!!

Joyeux Noel et Bonne Annee a tous – la version francaise suit la version anglaise…..

My blogs
www.cardsbycathrina.com                                            www.sevosfamily.com

I have two blogs: www.sevosfamily.com   came on line this summer for family and friends pictures and www.cardsbycathrina which is supposedly for my art.  However, because of some technical problems, there are more family and friend pictures on  cardsbycathrina.com than on sevosfamily.com.    Go to www.cardsbycathrina.com and on the left there is a list of “categories”, click on family  and/or friends and you will see the personal pictures. Clicking on the pictures makes them bigger. On the bottom left  is older entries, if you click on that then you will see obviously the older entries.   If you go to www.sevosfamily.com  you will see the wedding pictures and a few others – just scroll down.  I still have a few bugs to work out: pictures are not categorized and cannot be enlarged!

Here we are at Kathy and Eric’s reception in Schenectady:  wishing you Merry Christmas!!!!

Eric and Kathy’s wedding

Life has been good for the Sevos family.  The BIG event of the year was Eric’s marriage to Kathy marked by a particularly intimate wedding presided by cousin Matt in a scenic nature reserve in Portland followed by festivities for the Portland friends.  The week after we celebrated again in Schenectady, NY with Kathy’s family and friends who could not come to the West Coast.  We absolutely adore Kathy and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Kathy’s family, very special warm hearted people.  We look forward to more celebrations in France and perhaps in Poland, where Kathy has family…and we have friends!

Spring
The year passed quickly for us as time seems to be speeding up… enjoying the winter in NY and PA, then a March ski trip with Kathy and Eric in Val d’Isere – we, of course, did not ski together. (see the pictures and you will know why) We had lots of visitors to France which gave us opportunities to be tourists visiting the lovely St. Paul de Vence and some of the many, many attractions in our fascinating area of France.  A trip to Holland for tennis and a trip to Milan pretty much completed out spring in France.

Summer
Summer in New York was also highlighted by visitors… Antoine, the grandson of good friends from Paris days, Callian friends and our Callian/Danish friend… we back and forthed to PA and just enjoyed being in the States.  And we  spent time on our the usual activities – tennis, social engagements, gardening, enjoying the cultural side of NY and painting to prepare for an exhibit I will be having with two other friends in May of 2010

Carolyn & Russ

Carolyn is moving forward on her YouCake project. Check out www.youcake.com   YouCake will offer the possibility of creating  on the YouCake website your own photo toppings for cakes, cookies, or cupcakes (homemade or bakery). Different from the usual scanned one photo,  YouCakes can include multiple photos, text, and backgrounds.  See the  YouCake of Kathy and Eric’s engagement and you will get the picture. Right now, she is doing one-off “boutique” cake toppers but a launch should be early in the year 2010.  Russ is busy with all sorts of projects including his coaching with The Actor’s Institute, working on Genesis and other shorts, and as I write creating dialogue and speeches for the Paraolympics. Below is an example of one of Carolyn’s YouCakes – for Kathy and Eric’s wedding celebration.

Eric & Kathy
Eric and Kathy are now in their new home which they bought after selling their smaller houses and are beginning a wonderful life together.  Both are in the field of social work, Eric in direct services and Kathy specializing in grant writing and  fund raising.  Kathy travels some to attend and lecture at conferences around the US. Skiing, hiking, playing soccer, biking and walking the dogs keeps them in good shape.

I’ve rambled on a bit but have enjoyed chatting… we, of course, follow the events of the world which frankly are quite depressing.  We are doing our best to make as they say in France “un geste pour l’environment” contributing in little ways like composting (yes!!!) and recycling more diligently and conserving resources when we can…  our New Year’s resolution is to do more…

Again,  Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.

with much love,
Cathrina and Jean-Pierre

Chers famille/amis,

Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année à vous tous. Nous vous souhaitons bonne santé et beaucoup de bonheur dans cette nouvelle année.

Meilleurs voeux
Ce fut une “année exceptionelle” pour la Famille Sévos avec le marriage et célébrations en Octobre d’Eric et de Kathy ainsi qu’un été très agréable à New York avec beaucoup de visites chez des amis aux Etats-Unis et Canada et nos aller-retours habituels entre Manhattan et la Pennsylvanie. Nous avons également un peu aidé Carolyn et son partenaire Jérémy à lancer leur projet “Youcake” qui démarrera en Février 2010 (www.youcake.com).
Octobre a été aussi la célébration du marriage de notre (pas si petit!) petit-neveu Sébastien et sa charmante épouse Myriam.
Notre printemps a été également très agréable non seulement avec un voyage (tennis!) en Hollande et un autre avec des amis (de New York) à Milan mais surtout d’avoir passé 15 jours avec Kathy et Eric à Val d’Isère et Callian

Nos blogs
Cathrina a 2 blogs: www.sevosfamily.com , tout nouveau, pour les photos de famille et d’amis, et un autre, plus ancien, www.cardsbycathrina.com qui est surtout pour ses oeuvres d’art. Notez qu’à cause de problèmes techniques avec le nouveau blog, il y a plus de photos de famille et d’amis dans le blog “cardsbycathrina”.
Allez à www.cardsbycathrina.com et vous verrez à gauche une liste de “catégories”, cliquez sur “family and/or friends pictures” et vous verrez les photos personnelles. Cliquez sue les photos et elles deviendront plus grandes. En bas à gauche, il y a “older entries” et si vous cliquez sur cela vous verrez des photos plus anciennes.
Avec www.sevosfamily.com vous verrez les photos du marriage d’Eric et de Kathy et quelques autres… mais elles ne peuvent pas encore être vus plus grandes dans ce nouveau blog.

Bonnes fêtes de fin d’année à vous tous et familles,

Cathrina et Jean-Pierre
