Maggie's Snowball Dance

Maggie had her first dance a few weeks ago. She went with her friends and was even voted "queen"! She is growing up fast and her mom and dad are very proud of her. Below are some pictures of the girls before the big event.

Winter Fun!

Jack has been very excited to have his snowmobile running again. We got just enough snow this past week to snowmobile around the yard. All three kids have enjoyed riding it. Here is Jack in the front yard:

Jane Sedgewick Play at St. Mary's

Maggie, Macie, and Jack all played important roles in a recent production about Jane Sedgewick and the founding of St. Mary's School. This play was written and directed by Mrs. Valleri as part of the celebration of St. Mary's Church's 150th Anniversary. While the girls had more time on stage and had longer lines, Jack was perhaps the hit of the show as Bishop Fitzpatrick!

A Tribute to Mrs. Utt

We lost a dear friend on Friday. Mrs. Jeanie Utt passed away after a long and courageous battle with lung cancer. Right to the end she was positive and engaging. She was the mother to Jay and Larry, and their sister Amy. She was like a second Mom to me. She was the wife of Mr. Utt (Larry Sr.), who was my 8th grade wrestling coach. She will be missed here but is in a much better place now. Following are a couple of pictures of her at Jay's wedding in October 2007.
