Welcome to our Family Blog

It all started with a telephone call, a few intriguing telephone conversations and a blind date. Howard and Maureen met early May 1991. After a whirlwind courtship we got married in Oct 1997 and so our family started with just the 2 of us.

Happy Birthday Dad ... From Your Boys

Howard celebrated his birthday on August 14th.

When I told the boys about their Dad's birthday, they were so excited! They immediately started to sing the happy birthday song....and Josh said smiling "Birthday Cake???"

And it was a wonderful birthday celebration! Howard and I went to lunch at a nice cafe in Hopewell. The whole family went to pick the cake and ice cream...which the boys cried to hold all the way back home....talk about kids and instant gratification....will they ever get past that stage...I sure hope so.

Here are the cards, Godiva Chocolate and some of the chocolate birthday cake that Howard received...can you guess who is the chocoholic in the family???

This was a really nice surprise....A banner the kids made at their school for their Dad's birthday.





Hope you enjoyed your birthday celebration Honey. We love you! Isn't he just the yummiest.....

The Boys Beach Trip 2010

The boys had a blast when we spent a long weekend a couple weeks ago at the beach in Cape May. We stayed at the Periwinkle Inn which is a very kid friendly hotel and not the usual bed and breakfast inn that my husband and I used to stay at before children (bc).



First Day at The Beach - The boys loved running in and out of the waves

Ethan really really loved the beach...he was always running into the waves and by the end of the day was usually the only one covered from head to toe in sand, sand and lots of sand

Noah trying to cover Mommy with sand...but Mommy was just too fast for him
