Happy NEW YEAR 2010!


Why??
Watching the fire dancers...

So ready for this new year! We went to First Night in downtown. It was a great time and would recommend it to all of you! No pics of Erica, she was with her friends, not her Mom. :)

Time with the Tractors...


Merry Christmas!






We had both kids home this year! It was great! Just look at the pics...

Nathan the Red Nosed Reindeer??


Erica...




Erica got a new haircut and went to her first Snowball Dance! She had a great time and looked beautiful!

Happy Thanksgiving!



Nate's teacher pulled together a really nice lunch for his class, I had my doubts, but the kids really enjoyed it!

Halloween!


I can't believe it... I forgot to take pictures!! This is all I got! Jonathan at Target!

Star Wars on the South Side




Nate loved this... they had a Star Wars family fun day at Joseph Beth Bookstore. He played some games and won some small prizes. We also went to see Star Wars Live at Mellon Arena, it was actually a great show!

Annual Weaver Canoe Trip



His majesty!


Well we didn't have too many takers this year... didn't help that it totally poured on us all day long. It was Jonathan, Erica, Nate, me, Jacob and Dan. No one fell in, but we all looked like we did, we were soaked.

Roller Derby! Who KNEW!




Highest point scorer! THE SHOCKER....
Erica and I met a team member and dragged the whole family and Sue, a friend from work. We had so much fun, definitely something we will do again.

Ohhhhh NOOOOOO!

Our last sunflower... :(

Our last sunflower... one more time... :(

Yes, they have started building the monstrosity of a house next to us. It is ginormous, eyesore at this point and we HATE IT! We have come up with 2 good points: it is shielding our house from the weather so, maybe lower heating bills??, and oh... wait, only 1 good point... sorry. I will post current pics as soon as we thaw out here on the S. Side.

G20 Pittsburgh

Erica's Musical Theatre class w/ Mrs. Obama and Carla Bruni of France.
Erica was 1 of 250 students chosen to perform for the spouses of the delegates of the G20 Summit. We were a little afraid at first, but once day one was over, there was nothing to worry about. It was a chance of a lifetime and I am happy she was able to have that experience!

Back to School....

Nate reading to his friends at the Back to School Bar-B-Que! They missed him!

Summer Painting

Before....After...

While Erica was away this Summer, Jonathan and I painted Erica's room, BRIGHT Yellow! We thought it would help wake her up in the morning.. didn't work!

Nate Converse Designer!



Nate couldn't find any Converse he liked, so he made his own design. What do you think?

Fishin' on the River...


This is our spot! No fish ever caught!

Andy Warhol's Birthday!



I thought this looked very artistic with Nate's scrunching up in a ball below the pic.
Since we are members of the Carnegie we got an invite to Andy's birthday party! Nate would get to do some silk screening and there were 'FREE' Dozen cupcakes! I love those!

Beautiful Beach Scenes... by Jonathan





What a sight! I guess he had a great time on vacation!
