February 26th was Brett’s 6th Birthday, as hard as that is to believe.
He had his friend party on Sunday and we ended up celebrating his family birthday the night before, because we were flying out to Clearwater, FL on Thursday the 26th.

Dinner at Moccia’s

Our weekend started off with a playoff basketball game over at St. Mary’s in Delphi (Jean’s alma mater).  Abby’s team had a 7:45 tip off, which worked out great for us because it gave us plenty of time to grab dinner at Moccia’s, which is Jean’s favorite place to grab a chicken cheese steak.

Jean was [...]
