Wynne Christmas Party

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 [...]

Christmas Day 2009

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 [...]

Things are a little odd this week with the McMenamin family all spread out.

Soccer, Jewlery, Pizza, and Johnny Dangerously

Saturday was a busy day in the house, and we were all going in different directions.  It took some planning and a little bit of help from others to make it all happen, but we got it done.
It started with Brett’s soccer game at 8:30.  The Haffey’s stuck around until 10 the night before, so [...]

4th of July

The Giovinco family trip to the beach would not be complete without the South Ocean City Bike Parade. It’s become an annual tradition that started when Jake and Abby were tiny kids and one that the kids still look forward to.

For the second straight year, Jean’s family was also down for the week. [...]
