How far is the beach?

I picked up a FlipVideo camera over our vacation. It is really cool. I saw my girl Oprah use it on her show one night (I watch her everynight at 9PM - GNO baby). Click here to check out their web site. So now I can take my blogging to a whole new level and really show you what life is like here in RT. Many people ask us how far we live from the beach. So here is your answer. Oh - you'll notice the facial hair. We are currently on a two week break from school. Most of our friends have left so I decided to mess around and not shave. It's very arab!! Enjoy the walk to the beach.

Great Grandpa Rocks!

Besides being loving & fun, one of the biggest reasons why I love my grandfather is because he has a real zest for life; just this past summer he was asked to throw the first ball for a local baseball team - The Allentown Iron Pigs - a Phillies minor league team. I wish I could have been there to cheer him on!

Grandpa is 89 years old and is still going strong! After all these years, he is still has a great arm! :) Go Grandpa!

Just Call Me The Fonze!

I have had this itch to get a motorcycle for a bunch of years now. But everytime I think it is a good idea I here some horrible story about a motorcycle accident and then I change my mind. My father-in-law and brother-in-law both have one (and are as we speak/read(?) traveling cross country from NYC to LA and back on their bikes). Click here to see dad's bike. It is practically a car. They would both love for me to get a bike. Marie - not so much. So for now I am content to ride Cheri's little 150cc bike that she keeps at our house in RT. However, while I was back on repat I was able to jump in Johann's 750cc bike. Quite a difference from what I am use to. He has since sold it and is now riding a 1600cc bike. I don't know if I am man enough for that. So for now I will always have that one afternoon with the wind in my hair, hot chick waving to me, gang at my side riding through town looking to raise some....oh. Sorry. I was wearing a helmet. Riding by myself through the baaad streets of Blue Bell Country Club. Never going over 30 mph. Yeah baby. Born to be wild. Extememly cautious but WILD!!! WHOAAAA YEAH BABY! LIVE TO RIDE - RIDE TO LIVE!!!!!

First Day of School

Can't believe Sarah is starting 4th grade and Jack is a second grader!

This is Jack being forced to put his arm around his sister...
