Our family, then and now

I have a pretty big family, and it’s rare to see lots of my cousins all at once, since everyone’s pretty spread out. Not everyone was at Molly’s wedding this weekend, but enough of us were to recreate some old iconic family pics…

At a family reunion in the early 90s, the girl cousins gathered. But where is Molly?


(thanks Rob, for standing in for my dad.)

Oh, there she is. So adorable.

Let’s go back in time a few years, to the eighth grade dance at the middle school I went to with my cousin Laura. Our cousin Rob was apparently our date. That’s not creepy at all.

We really haven’t changed much at all.

Another crazy day. Miles had evaluations for baseball, which I really thought was going to be cancelled, but wasn’t. The skies opened up when it was almost over, and thanks to my rainboots, at least my feet stayed dry.

Oh man, I have a lot of catching up to do, don’t I? It’s been a busy week. For instance, on this particular day, I had to ride around the neighborhood until I found a mailman (erm, postal carrier) so I could mail off some paperwork to the mortgage company. There’s one!

Mother of the Year, right here. I totally forgot I was supposed to pick up the boys from school on Tuesday. It wasn’t until 5:30 that I realized I needed to. And school is at best 30 minutes away. Somehow I managed to get there right when aftercare closes, but the boys were understandably hungry, so we went to the nearby Whole Foods for some sustenance. Oh, and that mistake cost me a pretty penny. Aftercare = $13/hour/kid. Ugh. Expensive mistake.

A day at the dentist

No cavities!
