Olivia's Pre-K Graduation

Olivia's pre-k school held their graduation ceremony tonight, since a lot of the kids continued throughout the summer.  They all got caps, gowns, diplomas and a rose.  It was very touching ceremony with a slide show and several commencement speeches from the teachers and director.

Congratulations Olivia!   Good luck in Kindergarten!!!!

Family Night at Camp Christmas Tree

Isaac went to Camp Christmas Tree again for 1 week this summer.  See last year's....
Thursday night was family night.  We all went to camp for dinner.  We rode the bus, took a tour and sang songs.

This is Isaac's counselor Blanche.....for the 1st day or two he thought her name was Glanche....

Unfortunately S'mores were rained out this year....but we all had fun anyway!

10 Years!!!

To celebrate our 10 year anniversary, Miriam and I went to New York City for a long weekend.  Grandpa Ricky and Grandma Hillary came in to stay with the kids. 

We were able to see Cirque Du Soleil - Zarkana at Radio City Music hall, which was incredible. 

We stopped at a few of our favorite eateries; the 2nd Avenue Deli (actually not on 2nd Avenue any more), the Atlantic Grill (the site of our first date!!) and a few others....


We also were able to meet up with some friends....

Miriam and the "New Year's Eve Ball"
