Bagels- November 21, 2012

There is an amazing bagel shop at Debbie's, so when we stopped over for the night on our drive to South Carolina, we had to go!

Ms. Karen- November 19, 2012

Once Daniel turned 4, he aged out of the Infants & Toddlers program, which meant he was all done with physical therapy.  We had to say good-bye to Ms. Karen, who was a bright spot in our week.  She was always fun, and loved listening to Daniel sing.  She managed to make him do all sorts of things we could never get him to try, including paint on his feet!!

Sarah Altar Servers- November 18, 2012


Sarah served for the first time at Mass on November 18th!  She was nervous, but did an amazing job!  Father Marty said she was a natural.  Emily had served for the first time at our new church the week before, but did not want pictures taken (this was her third "first time" event).  Since we had photographed her original first, seen here, we honored her request.







November 17, 2012

We had a full day of TWIGS and college football.  First, Emily had Side-by-Side, where the high school musicians play together with the TWIGS students.  Then, later that day, when we were watching the Clemson/NC State game, we saw Heather, Ryan and their daughter Clemson on TV!



Blue- November 13, 2012

Sweet Blue!

Hopkins Football- November 10, 2012

Greg organized a tailgate event for his coworkers at Hopkins since he (and many of the folks) had never been to a game.  Hopkins played McDaniel, winning 47-9.







Apple! November 8, 2012

This may not seem like much to most people, but when Daniel bit into an apple, it was quite a celebratory event!  He ate it like a champ!  I knew his past therapists would be proud!

Yes, those are Blue's stairs.
  

November 3, 2012


Blue, tired of Daniel stealing his blankets, decided to steal Daniel's bed for a change.  He got cozy on Daniel's air mattress in our room while Kate's Dan was sleeping in his room.

Penn State at Purdue- November 3, 2012

The Marusaks came down for a weekend visit so we could watch the Penn State-Purdue game.  Dan graduated from Purdue, so he thought it would be fun to wage a little bet where the loser had to wear the other team's gear.  Good thing Dan is a trooper!  Our friends Mike, Stacey & Matt came over, too.

Aunt Debbie and Sarah cooked some yummy potatoes!

Debbie and Stacey have been friends literally since birth!


Kate wore a Penn State jersey for the first half, and a Purdue jersey for the second half.  Since Penn State won (34-9), Dan had to wear the Penn State sweatshirt!

Greg enjoyed his victory!

November 2, 2012

It is always fun watching him tote all of the stuff he needs when the dishwasher is running.  Sometimes, it just tuckers him out.

Sleeping on Blue's blankets, despite the fact that Blue is nowhere near them (because Daniel is on them).

Halloween- October 31, 2012

Sarah went as a Plague Doctor, Daniel was Marcus Lattimore (just two days after his 21st birthday), and Emily was Tonks from Harry Potter (she has been a different character from Harry Potter for the past four years).

Field Trip! October 26, 2012

Daniel's school went on a field trip to the local fire station!
