Fran turns the BIG 40

Mike's brother Fran turned 40 and did it in STYLE.............. He threw himself a bash at a art gallery in South Boston which he rented out. There were caterer's, a DJ, an open bar, and lots of good friends. He did it right and it was a huge success. Oh and I almost forgot, there was one rule. Everyone must wear red - cause.............. Vogue says Red is the new Black. :)

Pats vs the Dolphins!

Michael and David gave Nick and Ben and early Christmas gift which was tickets to the BIG game. Anyone who knows us, knows what a big deal this is as Nick is a huge Miami fan and Ben a Pat's fan. This also happened to be their very first NFL game. So both boys decked out in head to toe garb supporting their teams were rearing to go. We had a great time ( the better team prevailed ) but Nick did manage to find a friend or two to cheer his team on with.
Thank you Michael and David! A day surely they will never forget.

The Fall in New England

My absolute favorite season hands down. This year was especially beautiful. The colors were amazing. These pics were taken up in NH as we went out exploring one day over Columbus day weekend.

It's a PINZ Party!

Nicholas turned 9 this year, I can't even believe how fast the years have gone by. He chose to have his party at this cool new Bowling alley that just opened. They also played Laser tag and video games. A fun time had by all!

Catherine Luz's special day

Lizy had Catherine's bday at a park in Watertown, lots of fun.

Mike turns 38!

OK - not too many exciting pictures here but I did want to share a few from the day Mike turned 38. For his gift, I gave him a radio controlled plane which he loves. He's not too good of a pilot yet to say the least but I'll give him some time. He's currently on propeller #3!
That night we had a fantastic meal out in Cambridge with Doug and Lizy. Lots of laughs and wine!!

1st Day of School - Sept 06

Sept 6th - Nick started 3rd grade this year, his second year at Elmwood School. Benjamin started 1st grade at Center school. Nick was excited, Ben not so sure.............. :)
But he'll be fine.

The Clan from Atlanta came for a visit

Paul, Christie and the kids flew in over Labor Day weekend. We fried a turkey, had a fish fry, played cards and celebrated Meg's bday!

Meghan's 6th Birthday

Isabella's 7th Birthday

StoryLand - Aug 06

Doug and Lizy also picked a weekend to come up and spend with us in NH. We spent one of the days in StoryLand just like we do every year. We say this is our last but I'm sure we'll be back again next year. The kids love it!
