Father / Daughter Square Dance

The Girl Scouts held their annual Father Daughter Square Dance on March 19th. Because Katie is in Brownies and Allison is Daisies.... they both got to go. Since Rich couldn't be a date for both of them- Grandpa was sweet enough come down and be Allison's date. I didn't get that many pics but here are a few.

Navigator 2008

This is a long distance post... I am in Baltimore this week for the NAED Navigator Conference. I just got to my room and quickly hooked up my laptop to the wireless internet. I am confident that I will have time this week to post pics from Katie's communion, Bob's and Pop's installation dinners, and various other things to catch up. I have not yet downloaded the pictures from Christophers baptism yesterday. I will do that when I get home! My room is sooooo nice. I am staying at the Marriott Waterfront Baltimore. I have a beautiful view of the Baltimore inner harbor.... I am up on the 16th floor. I will make sure I take photos.

Tonight I am meeting with some of my CCM friends. I am really looking forward to that. The worst part of the whole trip is that not only is Kathryn's birthday on Thursday... but they are also off from school this whole week. Total Bummer! My mom is staying this week with the girls and they have 4 birthday parties between them this week to keep them busy (and my mom too!)

Stay tuned.. lots of pics coming soon :o)

I promise to catch up....

OMG... its been almost 2 months since my last post. I have had so much going on, so much in fact I only just starting to feel like I can breathe. I have tons to blog about and lots of pics to post. I will be working on it this week- considering I have FINALLY downloaded the hundreds of photos I have taken over the last couple of months. Stay tuned....

Congratulations Richie and Jess

Great News!!! My nephew Richie and his long-time girlfriend have gotten engaged!!! They have been together since High School, and are such a cute couple. I am so so so happy for them! I haven't heard anything about a date yet, but I hear they have checked out the East Wind (Rich and I were married there) and they like it. I will keep you posted :)

The Tooth Fairy came...

My baby lost her first tooth. It will never be the same again :( Once they start getting adult teeth, their whole look changes. BUT anyway.. .she is thrilled!!! The Tooth Fairy came and brought her $5! I was a bit sad because I was not home (I was working) when it came out and when the tooth fairy came.
