Jim, Jean, Jake, Abby, & Brett
Saturday night we had a nice little cookout with my family (mom, sister Kate, brothers Jeff and Casey, as well as Jeff’s friend Rob). It was one of the few occasions when almost all of us were able to get together.
We had a crazy day running around with the kids, so we started a [...]

Friday night was the first dance Abby was allowed to attend at Sacred Heart. The dances are for the “junior high” students, grades 6-8, but they allow the fifth graders to attend the final dance of the year. Abby was excited to go, but the dance ended up being a bit of a bummer because [...]

Our plans for the Memorial Day Weekend were pretty low key. Aside from Jake’s sleepover on Friday night, we had very little planned. The kids had no games or parties scheduled, so it really was a weekend with no commitments.
Jean had a bunch of homework to catch up on, and I had 5 cubic yards [...]

We started on Saturday night, [...]

Before Erin left to go back home to Africa, my mom decided to take all of the girls out for a day at Verde Spa over in Parkerford. It was a morning of relaxation and pampering. Abby was also included, and she got to bring her friend Meghan along as well. They had a Cheetah [...]
We normally start our Mother’s Day down in Philadelphia at the Race for the Cure. Following the race we head over to my mom’s house for an extended brunch with a large group of friends and families.
This year things didn’t quite work out for us to get to the race, but we were able to [...]

May 2nd was Jake’s birthday, and this one was a special one because our oldest child officially became a teenager. It’s hard to believe that he’s 13, isn’t it?
Jake’s birthday fell on a Saturday, and we had a jam packed schedule. We started the celebration with dinner on Friday night at California Pizza Kitchen with [...]
