Starfish

Patty had a reading of her latest novel Starfish, the long-awaited sequel to Mermaids at the Ivy Bookshop.  It was well worth the wait!

Harry Potter- April 6, 2013

The girls got a trip to New York City to see the Harry Potter Exhibition.  We took the train up, and the Bolt Bus back, which we will most likely NEVER do again.  It was amazing, and we highly recommend it to any Harry Potter fan.  We couldn't take pictures at the exhibition, but we'll happily show you the book have!

On the train! 

We took this picture fro our friend Michael,
since he and his wife Patty met under this sign

We didn't want to be late, so we arrived extra early, and had to wait in the cold for what seemed like an eternity, but we were one of the first ones in for the day!

We had to hit the Lego store, or Uncle Scott would disown us!

A giant popsicle, of course!

The Big Storm- June 30-July 5, 2012

Around 10:00 PM Friday night, a big storm was a-brewing, and our power went out for a week.  Good times.  Our beloved friend Michael Hill kindly took us in, and we had a quite the fun time hanging out at his place!  We still owe him an Orioles game.

Trees were down all around us, but we were very lucky!

Sarah had math work to do!

On our second night there, we noted Daniel was awfully quiet.  We went looking, and discovered Daniel curled up on Michael's bed fast asleep.  I was mortified, but thankfully, he thought it was cute!

We had stuff all over Michael's house!

April was a trooper!  She liked to keep an eye on Daniel.

Daniel had a full day of playing!

You know he can't resist a dishwasher!

  

Garden- May 23, 2012

Our dear friend Michael Hill, from whom we bought our house, came over to plant a garden with Sarah and Emily.  They planted tomatoes, squash and cucumbers.  Michael had been in a pretty serious bike accident that morning, but he pushed through the pain to come spend time with us!
