I forgot to mention . . .

my stepson married his beautiful bride and I got to be second shooter. I don't think I would ever want to be first shooter.

2 June - Beautiful Day

It was gorgeous here in NJ after having hot, hot, humid days. Took a walk down to the lake this morning and brought the camera along.

7 April - Let's Catch Up on Two Months!

Last time I posted it was almost Valentine's Day. Katie had a really great party at school.

But as you know, my son is a high school wrestler and that takes up most of our time until after the 1st weekend of March - which if you follow wrestling, you know that's the High School States in Atlantic City. And this year we went all the way until then, because he "Made it to Ayee Cee!"

He was 2nd in Districts which the top three got to Regions. He was 3rd in Regions and the top three from each weight class go to Atlantic City. Never did a 3rd Place win feel so good!



Being interviewed by the Star Ledger.



He had the headline



Win #83 - Pinning the #1 seed -



Win #85 & His Ticket To States - he was tired after wrestling 4 matches that day because he had lost in the first round and had to wrestle back



Made my daughter and the cousins shirts to wear in AC






A Dream Come True



Hug for Luck



Match Time






He ended up losing on Friday night, so he was done. With 5 seconds left he had his opponent in a headlock but time ran out. That wrestler placed 8th in the state. So when you lose and are done - this is what you do after 3 months of cutting weight for wrestling

Can you believe it's almost the middle of February?

I can't! Let's hope the time keeps moving quickly and we get to Spring here in NJ. Between the 9 snowstorms and cold weather - I am sure ready for some springtime weather.

February means Valentine's Day - and Valentine's Day means making cards for my daughter to give out in class. This year we are way behind - and she finally cornered me last night to get some photos. I don't know if I like any of them or not, but she will decide since they are her Valentine's.

Here is one of my favorite outtakes.

1 February 2011 - Polka Dots

Don't you love these? My favorite accessory of the year so far with all the snow we've been having here in NJ.

12 January/2011 - This Made Me Laugh Today

I pulled out my phone at the stop light today to take a photo. Looks like they used blue painter's tape.

Photo of the Day

For 2011 I am attempting to keep another photo a day file on Flickr. Somehow I missed January 2nd - but have gotten one for the other days so far.

This was the photo I picked for yesterday - my son going into the 3rd period of the 3rd match yesterday. The score at this point was 13-0, so he made pretty quick ending it at 18-0 so he could get to breathe again.
