First pics from Florence

Carson left yesterday and arrived in Florence early this morning. She sent an email saying that the trip went well, all of her luggage made it there, she LOVES her apartment and her new roommates. She sent these pictures of the interior of her room and looking out on the street in front of her building.

Book Signing

My 15 minutes of fame recently. The book signing at Barnes & Noble. Here I am with a new fan.

Easter weekend

Easter weekend went by fast. Tracy, Peaches and I drove to Pittsburgh on Good Friday to see Carson for the day. We brought along a picnic lunch and enjoyed a gorgeous day with our baby and her friends.

We got back late Friday night and Lucas had driven home for the weekend with a classmate. They went camping Friday night and went fishing all day Saturday. We all had Easter dinner at the Smiths. Sure was nice to see our babies again.

Lucas docks in Baltimore

This week we had a treat. Lucas was on the Kings Pointer, the training ship for the academy. He was with about 40 other midshipmen as they took the ship to Baltimore and Philadelphia. We got to attend a dinner on board with a visit from the Secretary of Transportation. The best part was after dinner we got to hang with Lucas and some of his buddies at an Irish Pub at the Inner Harbor.

SNOWMAGEDON 2010

Here are some shots from our record breaking snow season this winter. It was fun for a while but we're glad to see spring on the horizon.

Paisley visits

Lucas's good friend Rich visited with his sweetie and her new baby. Paisley is a bouncing baby black pug. Iris and Peaches were pleased to welcome her to the neighborhood.
