Happy Halloween - Booo

Great Halloween and weather was wonderful. As you can see I was a busy bee that was swatted by some grandchildren that didn't like me. Needless to say my hopes of winning best costume went out the window.

Elvis in the HOUSE

It seems there has been an Elvis sighting near Albany. It seems our own little Jan got all shook up and not just for his little Tony Teddy Bear. Please ask Jan if it was one for the money, two for the show and where are his blue swede shoes. Perhaps we can get him to sing Love Me Tender, Heartbreak Hotel or Jail House Rock at our next reunion. Jan does the suit come on white????

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We will be having our usual monster pizza party on Halloween if anyone wants to stop by and grab a bite before all the little ghost and goblins go out for some treats. Guaranteed confusion until the troops leave but pizza will be available from 5:00 p.m. on. Feel free to dress up and Jon dressing as a Red Sox want a be is a disgrace for a New Yorker so don't expect any treats!!!

The BIG 3-0!!! Happy B'day Jess

Good thing about families is that there is always a little extra help to blow the candles out and get the first lick of the frosting!!!

APPLE PICKING 2007

Another wonderful family outing today when the St. Croix's went apple picking. Nice brisk day and we got an early start. I think Julian ate the most, Julia picked the biggest, Justyn climbed the highest, Jaymeson stomped the best thanks to Uncle Chubby, Eva picked the most, Hannah and Jennah rode the horses the most and Jeremyah and Jenson just came along for the ride. It seems Jill recalled picking apples with twins, what about this year??? What did Anthony Appleseed plant? Stay tuned.......... We missed big Papa and Grandma this year but the great grandchildren brought them back some samples they picked especially for them. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Smile Mom & Dad

Julia tells Mom and Dad to smile while she takes a picture!!!! Nice job Julia.

Which one is which????

Okay side by side you can tell them apart? Right? Actually I think this is the only time they stood still long enough to get a picture of them side by side with both smiling so I thought I would post it!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those wondering Jennah is on your left with a piece of fruit snack below her lip and Hannah is on the right.

Anyone remember this fishing hole?

My wife and I took a ride the other day to enjoy this beautiful fall weather and ended up over by Association Island. We went as far as the bridge where we use to fish as kids. I recall perch being the catch of day and anything over 4" seemed huge!!!! Didn't Howard and Emma take us while Dad worked and Mom laid in the sun developing her tan at the cottage and reading her Good Housekeeping magazine??????????? Anyone else recall????

St. Croix's Help Family Priest Celebrate 40th

The St. Croix's were well represented as we helped Fr. Kennedy celebrate his 40th anniversary of the priesthood. It was a wonderful event held at the North Side Improvement League. Mom and Dad Saint along with Jeff & Rose; Jay & Jo Ann; James & Kerry; and Jean & Cathy were in attendance. I was able to snap a picture of the fine young men that Fr. Kennedy tried to corrupt or recruit I don't know which. Jean did a wonderful job at public speaking so I guess we know who to call upon when needed in the future!!!! Nice job Jean I might be a little prejudice but you by far were the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
