Fu%$*!& Bleachers

June 7th, 2008

When your older brother’s baseball game gets a little slow…why not make it more exciting and careen into the metal bleachers?



Yeah, looks deep.

Five stitches later.



I so did not mean to trip you…sorry!



It’s ok, I didn’t cry!

My dad, just plain old crazy

With all the love in my heart, I ask myself…how can I not post this photo?

We’ll be FINE

June 5th, 2008

This morning while Adam was getting dressed, PJ and I were hanging out on the bed and the following conversation took place.

PJ: Are you guys married?

Adam: Yes sweetie, we’ve been married for almost 14 years.

PJ: Wow, that’s a long time. You can die now.

Me: (laughing) Hopefully we’ll be around for a while.

PJ: It’s okay, I can walk to Hope’s house and CT and KP can go over to Sam’s house. You know, because Peter’s there (Peter is 4).

Third kid

June 4th, 2008



This is a photo of KP on the last day of school, during the last song of the preschool concert.

If he was my first child, I would have been mortified. The entire concert he was a screwing around, haming it up, trying to make other kids laugh, singing falsetto and working some dramatic dance movements into all the songs.

I, of course, could not stop laughing. Adam kept telling me I was terrible and nudging me with his elbow to stop.

At the bitter end of it all, when the music stopped and the kids stopped signing, he droped to the ground (as shown above) and yells, “AMEN…AAAAMMMMEENNNNNN!”

And then we left for summer break.

Seriously…who knew???

First Race

June 2nd, 2008

Triathlon season got kicked off this past Sunday in Buffalo. After the wicked storm passed on Saturday afternoon, the sun shone brightly and made for an amazing day.

This is my fourth year doing triathlons and this race was by far the best, not due to my race times (4th in my age group) or my efforts but because I got to share the day with friends. Some of those friends were doing triathlons for their first time and other experienced pros were gunning for whatever their bodies had in store for them that very day.

Here they are:



This is Courtney. I love Courtney, she plays so coy and then just busts it out of the park. She is an amazing marathon runner (Boston bound mind you), 1/2 iron competitor, friend and mother.

Say Hi to Nathan. This was Nathan’s first tri with two more cued up for the summer. Considering he hadn’t been in the lake for more than a total of 10 minutes the day before the race and he had some seriously locked up calf muscles he made his way through the race and finished strong with a smile on his face. Way to go Nate!


Meet Todd. He’s one of the girl’s in my running group but funny enough he won’t wear a skirt. He too was embarking on his virgin tri tour this past weekend and now he’s bit. His deck is stacked this summer with a marathon and olympic distance race and a 1/2 iron race while on vacation (yes, while on vacation). Excellent job T.

This is jMatt (or Fast Matt as I call him). I had to take a picture of him while he was standing still and suiting up becasue he is so unbelievably fast that my camera can’t ever catch a clear image of him. He is on his way to “take” many races this season as well as marching his way to Ironman Wisconsin in September. Catch him if you can. Nice work jMatt and good luck this season.


Thanks to all of you for making this day so great!

Job well done.
