Ox the Climber

Owen has been eyeing the rock climbing wall at our Rec Center for some time now and he recently got the chance to give it a go.


He had no problems figuring out where to begin...


and he really looked like he knew what he was doing.


He made climbing the wall look quite easy...


and he reached the top in record time.

Hockey, Hockey, Hockey...

After a recent hockey game, Luke got the chance to skate with some of his favorite Miami RedHawks. He could not wait to catch up with his favorite player Justin Vaive.


Another of his favorite players is Long Island's own, Pat Cannone.


Another New Yorker, goaltender Connor Knapp (York, New York) is a tall fella. His goalie pads are almost as big as Luke.


Luke loves playing his "Hockey Guys" game. He also loves taking pictures. Here's an aerial shot he took of his own Steve Cady arena, home of the Miami RedHawks.


He plays this game for hours and hours -- just ask grandma. His players even celebrate goals like the RedHawks.

Busy Boys

The boys had a great time putting together their big firetruck puzzle.


They have also been great helpers in the kitchen. Here the little chefs are labeling the baby food they just made for their little sis.


Recently it was "P" day at the boys' pre-school, so they got the chance to wear their pajamas to school.


Rory prefers not to wear PJs, or any other clothes, for that matter.

St. Patrick's Day 2009

Here's Rory sporting her St. Patrick's Day best, courtesy of Aunt Kakky.


Our friend Angie gave Rory this great bib for the big day. As you can see by her smile, Rory was pretty excited for her first St. Patty's Day.


Here's the gang before the big feast of corned beef and cabbage.


Earlier in the day, Owen & Luke met up with some of their pre-school friends at the local park.


Not to be outdone, Rory was also ready to go have some fun in the sun.

Suppertime During Lent...

What to do when you can't eat meat on Fridays during Lent?


Ice cream and waffles!


While Rory could not partake in the ice cream sandwiches, she does enjoy her yogurt and squash.


Her 's Rory rolling around the house.

And She's Off...

Rory has been very active as of late...


and she loves to play on the floor. She has even begun to crawl!


She likes to sit up and babble...


and she's always willing to smile for the camera.


She often tries her darndest to eat her feet.


The weather has been getting warmer, so the boys finally got the chance to take their two-wheelers out for a ride in the 'hood. They had a blast!
