More of “It’s a Derek Kinda Christmas!”

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Petroskis!

We just got back from Wilkes-Barre, PA, where we have had a wonderful fun-filled, family-filled, food-filled time! Oh, and did I mention the food? Cuz there was a ton of it. Initially, Derek was incredibly overwhelmed because there was A LOT of family. Paul has a very large extended family and having them all in [...]

More of Derek’s First Christmas

Have you been waiting with baited breath? I thought so. Here’s some more of Derek’s 1st Christmas.
