Happy Birthday Mikey
Yesterday was Mikey’s 14th birthday! It’s hard to believe he is 14. And he is getting bigger every day. Now he can reach the hook on the screen door without any trouble! Yesterday he had to meet someone outside of school so he is celebrating his birthday at school today. Michel is sending in a [...]
Blizzard!
It’s starting to snow here on Long Island in what is supposed to be a blizzard lasting until tomorrow. I really wish we were back in the Florida Keys.
Ernest Hemingway’s House
When you are on a trip to the Florida Keys with an English major you must stop at Ernest Hemingway’s house. Hemingway lived there before he took off for Cuba and wrote several of his novels in the work room in the back. Mikey, Beth, and Michel enjoyed the stroll around the grounds. The grounds [...]
Flying Down South
Back in August we took a trip to Florida. This was the first time that Mikey or Beth had been in a plane and the first time in years that Michel or I had flown. We were a little worried about Mikey because of his occasional tantrums. The last thing we wanted was to be [...]
Swimming in December
It has been such a long time since I have posted to my blog! So much has happened in my life and I have simply not had the time nor the inclination to blog. But I think it is time to start again. So here is a little event that happened with Mikey… Saturday was [...]

So the other night Beth is out with her friends, Michel and Mikey are asleep, and I’m downstairs sitting at the computer. I hear a knock at the door. It must be Beth, I think. Did I leave the hook on the door? So I open the door and there is a police officer standing [...]
She’s a Big Girl!
My little girl isn’t so little any more. Beth and three of her friends flew off to Disney World Friday morning without a parent or adult guardian. They are staying at a hotel on the grounds which means they can go back to the hotel as often as they want and then go back to [...]
Oneonta
This is a little late, but back in the winter we took Beth and her friend Alexandra up to Oneonta to take a look at the State University of NY at Oneonta and Hartwick College. Oneonta is a college town located in the Catskill Mountains between Albany and Binghampton. When I say it is a [...]
Pictures of the Kids
Here are some recent pictures of Beth and Mikey… Here is Beth at her Uncle Jimmy’s house. Beth is wearing her Grandpa’s hat. I love this picture of Mikey. He has such a beautiful smile. They are so great together. Here’s Mikey wearing his Nana’s hat. He loves that beret.
Mikey Goes Camping
This past weekend was Mikey’s camping weekend. From Friday evening until Sunday afternoon, Mikey was away at camp. It was nice to sleep late and then have the chance to do some work around the house. Friday morning I told Mikey that he was going to camp. He immediately ran to the door and was [...]
