Congrats on your new jobs. Hope all is going well.
Tell us more about the card company.
You mentioned once about Harvey having
a connection where you could sell them.
Sounds interesting.

There is a Brett and here he is after unwrapping the plastic that you see in the background.

OK Jenni, your Grammy will stick up for you.

Love You,

Hi Family.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have a new email address because I graduated and will be at Columbia instead of Dartmouth now. My email is:

Katie and Jen Update

Hi familia-

Just a little life update...Jen and I found an apartment today! She is very nervous because she hasn't yet adjusted to the fact that NYC apartments aren't exactly spacious. However, as she will tell you she can see the Empire State Building from her bed. Here is a snapshot of our view:


In other news, it is out company's Annual Community Service Day on Thursday. We are painting and refurbishing 2 schools, a Sr Center, and a park up in the Bronx. It is pretty much my favorite day of the year. My friend and I got picked to be the captains for the hardest and most detailed mural and we are very excited about that. As the "numbers girl" at the company it will be funny to be telling the people in our creative department what to do. I will be sure to post photos of that day.

Anyway, hope to see you all this weekend! Though, I will warn you in advance, that my graduation party will kick jen's graduation partys butt. Luckily mom put me in charge of the booze, so at least we have that going for us :)

Just checking in.

Hey Everyone - Just wanted to say hi and see how everyone is doing. Nothing new here. I have just been busy doing Mom stuff. We are grateful that the weather has been nice and not too hot. The kids are good - Will is getting a bunch of teeth and is crawling and standing. Nate started "camp" today. Pete is busy at work. I am still nursing Will, but he has started to take a bottle. So that gives me a little more freedom. I got to go on a trip to a farm with Nate's class last week. The picture attached is Nate giving a concert to his class before the trip.

So how is everyone doing?? Any new shows since idol is over? We like Top Chef.

For all of you Fathers...

Happy Father's Day!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

Wishing all the fathers, grandfathers and god fathers a wonderful Fathers Day. Hallmark has tried for years to capture the message that will tell each and every father what they mean to those who love them. They try and can never quite get it. I don't suspect I could do any better. But it is with great pride and love that I witness the devotion of those who are fathering our family's next generation. You are all great 'Dads'. Have a great day.

BEST FOOT FORWARD

I just wanted to take a minute to congratulate Jenny on her graduation from Dartmouth over the weekend. I understand that everything was great but that the weather committee did not do their job "cum laude". I'm sure we will hear more at her party at the end of the month.
Yesterday she had foot surgery so that both of her feet will match! Karen told MGM that all went well and she is resting comfortably.
Speaking of Jenny...I guess we all know she is going to dental school in NY this fall. It is unfortunate that I could not wait until she completes her degree. Hopefully she would have given me a discount on the braces I am having 'installed". I wanted to hold out for DiVinci Porcelein Veneers but alas this is what the DDS ordered. I hope that I don't get kicked out of my 'adult community'. So the glare in the Christmas pictures this year will be off of my teeth!

Big Boy Bed

So, last week Cole discovered that he could climb out of his crib. Couple this with the fact that he has discovered the "stall tatic" and bed time has become quite an adventure to say the least.

After spending a few nights taking an hour + to put him to sleep with multiple crib escapes, Jess and I decided to see if the excitement of a new "Big Boy Bed" might solve the problem. So we bought this fancy new bed at IKEA.

200 parts later, Daddy made the bed and Cole is very excited. Still took over an hour to get him to sleep, but we don't have to worry about him falling far from the bed to the floor. (The bed flips over and is only a foot or so off the ground, once he is older, we can turn it over and he can have a bunk like shown in the picture). He loves the canopy and we look up at the twinkle twinkle stars as we read books.

I have made to call!!!!!!

I am going to say it now. I AM responsible for that dick Shilling not getting his no-hitter. I turned it on with two out in the ninth, just so he would not get it. When Stewart got a hit a second later I called my mother to state." I am going to say it now. We are going to catch those bean eating butt frackers. So I have made to call. Just wait and see. So Pete don't be blowing saves in the 9th(choke) this upcomming week. A couple more healthy starters and Mike Sweeney at first just might put us back in the Yankee state of mind. So as the all-star break approaches I have made the call. I was ready to give up and sell off our high priced guys to anyone, but I have changed my mind. Lets Go YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And by the way. Bobby Abreu is still a candy ass. Just thought you would like to know.

For Dave...

And many more, you SOB!

Love,
Peggy and Michael

Dark Side of the Rainbow

Hey Peg - Your video is very cool! We watched both last night. You did a great job - the end with the kalidescope look was our favorite part. Part of it actually looked like an Indian blanket. Oh and the black and white was cool too. We also got a good laugh from the wedding video. I forgot how pretty you are ;)! Thanks for sharing. Any job hunting yet?

They screw you in the parking lot....

So as if the NY Jets and the NJSEA (New Jersey Sports and Exhibition Authority) haven't killed our pocket books over the last few years, they do it again. The Jets and Giants have gotten the NFL and probably the tax payers to fork over a bunch of money to build a new stadium. Which we aren't to unhappy about (no longer playing in GIANTS stadium, maybe some neutral colored seats, etc)

But here is the hitch. While the new stadium is being built, obviously there are going to be less parking spots. SO... as season ticket holders we have the wonderful opportunity (read:requirement) to pre pay for parking for all 10 games (yes, we have to buy parking for the 2 preseason games that we already pay for tix for that we NEVER attend). If you don't buy the prepaid parking, you will NOT be allowed into the lot and will have to park at a satellite parking lot and be bus-ed over to the stadium. Also, you only get 1 pass per 4 seats. Therefore we can never go in seperate cars unless we get more passes.

Oh well, only 2-3 more years until the price of the seats is too much anyway......
