RED SOX

Sweet Caroline -

they've almost won the Division!

On September 24th we had the great gift of free Red Sox tickets given to us.
The lucky recipients were Jacob, Emily and Harrison and what a time we had!

Here's what the AP had to say...

BOSTON - Mike Lowell drove in five runs to lead Boston's revived
hitting attack and the Red Sox cut their magic number to clinch the
AL East title to two with an 11-6 win over the Oakland Athletics on
Wednesday.

And here is what our kids had to say about it..... (click the button to watch the video).

Although we got there late (5pm start time??), we had a fun time. The Bleacher experience for the kids was, well, a party atmosphere to say the least. It was the first time they experienced flying beach balls of varying sizes and even a blow up doll got tossed around for some added fun!

Here are the pict's.

A Day at Block Island

Block Island
September 8, 2007 was a historic homecoming. For Lael Askew-Elhers it was a return to a vacation spot not visited in 30 years and for Jane and I it was a return to the place where we got engaged 15 years ago.
And for our children, perhaps it is the first visit of more to come. Here are some photo's from that day!

Harrison's Baptism

September 9, 2007


This will have to be a multi-post event since so many things happened surrounding this great event. Harrison had a Great Grandmother, Grandmother and new (step) Grandfather fly in from Utah as well as the local family (both from RI and New York).

To get this post going, take a look at the video that Harrison helped create for the "intermission" during his baptism.

And stay tuned for more pictures and video!

Back to School!

Harrison's Birthday Parties

Another several weeks of lots of fun for our family. First it was the celebration of Harrison's birthday. On his birthday was a nice cookout and presents with his Gramma Sarah-ann and Grampa Buddy and Aunt Sharon.









In between Harrison's real birthday and the party he was to have with his church and neighborhood friends we had our family reunion party down at Uncle Jack and Aunt Anni's Home. We also had the special treat of having Matthew, Jen, Abigail and Isabella stay at our home for the night!













































And Finally - Harrison has his "All Boy" Birthday party with the boyz...

A party complete with fire and swimming and good cake and ice cream.

Not just any fire - how about a 5' tall fire?






















And not just any swimming - tidal wave swimming...under a full moon!

With the first day of school just around the corner, this wraps up our Summer '07 experience!!
