NY Auto Show 2009

We decided to take the boys to the NY Auto Show at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC. We all had a great time, but the boys favorite time "at the wheel" didn't take place at the car show...


We all had a turn to sit in the new Ford Taurus as the body opened and closed.

Below, the boys check out the old VW Beetle. Also, the main event was when each of the boys were able to drive the ferry home from FOR REAL. No fake driving like at the Auto Show...this was the real deal! They did a great job!!!

March Madness

Daddy played bagpipes in the Union St. Patrick's Day Parade. (Caleb just LOVES the sound of the pipes!!)

"The BROS"

The boys behaved so well during a week of school, they were treated to a "special breakfast" at the new Dunkin' Donuts around the corner from our house.

The town removed a HUGE tree across the street.

Our Visit to The Jones' House

This past weekend, we were invited to spend time up in Rhode Island with our friends The Jones Family. Jake, Lauren and little Gracie opened up their beautiful home to us and made us feel so welcome. We all had a great time of fun and fellowship and all of the kids had lots of fun. It was tough leaving...especially for Joshie who pleaded his case to stay "just one more day" as he cried all the way from RI to halfway through Connecticut on the way home. We are so thankful to the Jones Family and to the Lord for the time we had.



First we went to feed the ducks. Later the kids (big kids too!) played for a while at the park.

"The dudes" were hanging out in Jake & Lauren's really cool basement just chillin' around the fire. They have a nice wood burning stove and the boys decided to cook hot dogs. MMMMM!


Joshua is "pumped" over his cooked mutt while Gracie cruises around the basement.

Cooking class with Mr. Jake is in session.

Happy 7th Birthday Andrew!!!

For Andrew's 7th birthday, he invited some friends to go bowling. Everyone had a great time...even the PARENTS!!!



A few random pictures...Josh and Caleb play chef while Caleb pretends to be a soldier.
Joshua and Caleb enjoy their cupcakes from Nana and Pop-Pop.

Watchnight Service 2009

Every year on New Year's Eve, our church has a fun time of fellowship (and LOTS of food). We begin with eating, eating and more eating. Some people chat while others play different games. At a little before midnight, we are in prayer as the last thing we are doing in the previous year and the first thing in the new year. We were all excited Grandma Rosa was able to be with us this New Year's Eve!
Camera Man Andrew took a few pictures of his family and buddies during the watch night service...

Maybe next year, we'll have a goofy-face contest at the Watchnight Service.


Having fun with Mr. Ludlow. Also, Andrew catches Uncle Damon red-handed as he attempts to STEAL top secret football plays for the next football game out of Daddy's coat.

Happy New Year 2009!!!

Happy New Year to all Family and Friends!!! Before New Year's eve, Daddy made a special Pancake Breakfast...and per Joshy's request, we made a "Whale Pancake". Looks like Joshua enjoyed it...I must say, it came out pretty good!


Daddy went to play in his annual New Years Flag Football game. Meanwhile, the future prospects played a game of their own! Andrew throws the deep ball from the dining room to the living room! SMASH!! Lamp broken...but TOUCHDOWN!
