Birthday Girl & Grammy Sue

Auntie Jen loves this Birthday Girl!

There's no stopping her now...

It's safe to say, even us big kids had a lot of fun...


A few weeks ago, I asked my friend how she stayed so fit and healthy. What was her regime? And she replied simply, "I laugh hard and out loud every day!"

May I never forget to laugh hard and out loud each and every day!

September 11, 2010 - Honoring their memory...

View of New York Harbor from the South Tower Observation Deck - 107th floor (Nov 1995)

New York - 2,752 * Pentagon - 184 * Pennsylvania - 40

In our Hearts, we weep for you. In our Minds, we Honor you.

Nine years

How can something feel like it happened a thousand years ago and in this instant...at the very same time?

A quiet moment to remember 295 dear friends and colleagues.

Our lost Colleagues are, above all, our adored Children and Parents, Husbands and Wives, Sisters and Brothers, our cherished Relatives and Friends.

Nine years.

"Where were you when the World stopped turning, that September day?"

May Faith, Hope, Love and Peace prevail

Cousins!

Aug 2010 - A visit with my wonderful family!

I'm still figuring out my new camera but I think the blur looks pretty cool. Cody on rope swing...

Kayla on rope swing...

Best quote of the weekend: "CoolCousinJenny, want to swing on our rope swing? It can hold a really big 6th grader so it can probably hold you." - Cody

At Kayla's afternoon soccer game in 90 degree heat. Unfortunately no pics from Cody's morning game held in a 70 degree, hour long downpour. As honorary soccer mom for the day, I think I got the full experience!

Pool Time!!!

Le Studio presents REWIRED - Aug 2010

REWIRED (2nd run): Aug 6 & 7, 2010

A thought-provoking Cirque play about “letting go” …

This play takes a close look at the inner wirings of human beings and what makes them incapable of achieving their full potential. Touching, comical, deep, witty, thought-provoking, sexy, provocative and inspiring, the show definitely leaves audiences empowered to take a look at their own lives and make some healthy changes while being thoroughly entertained for the evening!
