Angela had a track meet this past week at Henninger High School(part of the Syracuse City School District). Henninger is a big school and a big competitor in track. Liverpool not only won this meet, Angela had one of her personal best meets to date. She placed first in the 100m, 3rd in the long jump, and her 4x100 relay team placed 1st. Her relay team is still undefeated. Two meets left, next up Baldwinsville then Fayetteville-Manlius. Check out her videos! Great job Angela!!

Last weekend was Amanda's Jr. Prom. As you can imagine, the weeks leading up to this event were filled with stress for her,(how should I wear my hair? what table should we sit at? when should I get my nails done? do I look tan enough? Mike and I are fighting, we ARE NOT going to prom!) It went on and on! I thought finding the dress would have been the hard part, but it only took 2 trips to BoomBabies to find the perfect dress. Her hair looked beautiful (thanks Lisa!), and Lisa only had to do her updo once,(not like last year when Lisa did 2 updo's, and then Amanda decided she wanted to wear her down). Mike arrived on time (thank goodness) looking handsome, and I was able to get some nice pics. Our professional photographer Tara was here also,(thank you Tara!) I'm sure her pictures are much better than mine. Unfortunately it was pouring rain, so we had to take all the pictures inside. Amanda's friend Jordan came and went to the prom with them. They had a really fun time. Tim had a bit of a hard time understanding "the prom drama", but that's what teenage girls do. I probably drove Mom and Dad crazy too. All I know is in the end she looked beautiful and happy and that's what is important. And as Tim and I proudly watched them drive off (with a stiff drink in our hands), it dawned on us in a couple of years we will be doing this all over again with Angela!

Spring has Sprung!

After the long winter , it's always fun to see the first flowers come out. Every year it seems the flowers start to bloom earlier and earlier. This past weekend was one of those beautiful spring weekends in Central New York. The sun was out, the sky was a beautiful shade of blue, temperatures in the 70's, and no humidity. I walked around our yard with my camera and took some these pictures. Enjoy!

Track Time!!

Angela is again running track this spring for Liverpool. She has had 2 meets so far, and has run the 200M, 400M, and she is the second leg of the 4X100 relay. Her relay team is undefeated at this time, she runs with 3 very fast girls. I think they are going to do well this season. She is hoping to do some field events this year, such as the long or high jump. She wanted to try out for shotput, but her coach said she was to small. As you can imagine, Ang was not very happy with that decision by her coach! The Varsity track coach already has his eye on Angela for the pole vault (they don't do this event at the modified level), he wants to work with her over the summer. She is really enjoying running. Check out the vidoe below and you will see her run her leg of the 4x100 relay, she shot out like a bullet! I will keep you updated on her progress.
