Story best viewed at The Mac Shack.
Sunday started off somewhat lazily, with everyone lounging around in bed still trying to recover from a couple of late nights and over eating. Jake had to serve at 11:15, so there was no rush to get everyone out of bed. The only bummer was that Brett was [...]

Saturday night we went to Bucca Di Beppo for an early birthday dinner. Italian food is easily my favorite, and I love the way that Bucca serves everything family style. Veal Parmigiana was the number one item on my hit list, and Jake and I polished off [...]

Now that 2009 is behind us, I thought I would take a few moments to review the year that just passed.
The year started with us off in Africa visiting Erin and her family in Tunisia. The trip began with us flying out of Philly early in the evening on Christmas Day and touching down in [...]

After church, my family (Mom, Casey, Katie, and Alex) came over for Brunch. We had our traditional holiday fare of baked eggs, pork roll, bacon, and sticky buns (If Dr. Miller is reading this, I abstained from eating any of this food which is not so good for my blood pressure/cholesterol [...]

We spent our traditional Christmas Eve with Jean’s family over at Mike and Dot’s house. All her brothers and sisters were there with family, so it was a full house (23 of us).
In previous years we’ve had seafood or roasts as the main fare, but this year we went with an Italian [...]

Saturday was Brett’s first karate test of the year. He started taking a class after school one day per week, and we weren’t really sure if he was getting much out of it. Every time we asked him how it was going, he wouldn’t give us much of a response. We’re used to that behavior [...]

Here’s the little man’s 2009 Christmas list. I don’t think you’ll get the image if you’re reading this on Facebook, but you can see the actual list in his handwriting over on our blog.
For those that can’t decipher his writing, it reads:
Xbox 360
DSI (Nintendo handheld game)
Spy Gear
Ipod Touch
Mario Cart 4 DSI
Laser Tag
A TV 4 my [...]
I’m really behind in keeping up with our pictures, but here are the kids costumes from Halloween. Brett was a robot, with a costume he designed and made on his own. His buddy Liam is a gorilla. Abby and her best friend Meghan went out as babies.
Jake was sadly too cool to get dressed up. [...]

Here’s some video of Brett giving his St. Thomas speech for the All Saints Parade at Sacred Heart on October 30th. You can’t really make it out to well, but his prayer partners (Jake and his friend Timmy) are holding up his St. Thomas sign.
I can’t do subtitles, but for those who need help understanding [...]
