Cousins Weekend 2008

This weekend was Cousin's Weekend 2008 "The Legend of Queen Bea and the Quest to save Candlewood Castle". It was awesome! 120 people, crazy costumes (Krissy and I were princesses, Kasey was a fairy and Mike even wore a kilt), the Queen's Ball on Saturday night, Squashbuckling excitement from beginning to end! Great to reconnect with the family. Can't wait until the next one!

My Baby Graduated from Elementary School! Ugggh!

OK, Kasey should still be wearing big bird underpants and doing "itsy bitsy spider"... but, as of next Tuesday, she will have completed Elementary School to enter 7th grade in the fall! Where did that time go? She's grown into a beautiful, sweet and thoughful young lady that is about to start middle school. It's sometimes too much to comprehend! I'm so proud of her. She's such a joy to our family. Kasey, I love you, sweatheart!

Here's the "gansta-grads"...notice my mature daughter in the bottom right corner NOT participating! ..too scholarly, I suppose... ha.

Lewey Lake Campout, Memorial Day '08

The "Hannay's" spent Memorial Day weekend at Lewey Lake in the Adirondacks. We all had a great time. The weather was "iffy" on Friday and Saturday but was SPECTACULAR on Sunday when we put in our canoe on Indian Lake and enjoyed a relaxing day. Enjoy the pics!

Springtime Snowfall (Mar 29, '08)

We woke up Friday morning to a phonecall from our school principal asking Gayle to postpone our scheduled fundraising meeting due to snow. Granted, it was 6:30am and she woke me up... but the night before it was a gorgeous spring night...not even a possibility of snow! Groggily, I looked out the window and LOW AND BEHOLD, there was a good 6 inches on the ground...all schools were cancelled. WE'VE GOT A SNOW DAY IN THE END OF MARCH! Here's some pictures of a few hours of our day today out back on a hike around the property. What a georgeous day!

It was a fun hike! 20 degrees and cold, but GREAT exercise and wonderful family time!
