Friday night, Black Friday, Emily slept over with Abby. Jean, Brett, myself, and the girls decided to take a walk on the nature trail right by the boat launch off of Rt. 113. It’s about a mile walk, and it should be a real cool walk in the spring time when it gets a little [...]

Jean and Abby went downtown with Terri Nykanen and her daughter Tesa to see Annie at the Academy of Music. We got lucky and backed into the tickets because our neighbor Peggy wasn’t able to go. Abby loved the movie, and she knows many of the songs by heart.

Saturday was Brian Varani’s birthday party, so I took all three of the kids to his party at the roller rink. Jake and Abby had fun, and Brett was a bit unsure of what to make of the whole thing. Brett rented a pair of skates ($1 fee, you can’t beat that?) and [...]

Monday night was a big night for Abby. She had her first Reconciliation, which for all the non-Catholics out there means first confession. She was really excited (and nervous) to do it, but everything went off without a hitch. She had the option of doing it face-to-face with the priest, or in the confessional booth, [...]
