Promotional Material

Earlier this year Scott was promoted to President of Tyco Retail Solutions which is located here in Boca Raton. An alternative position based out of Sydney, Australia was also on the table which would have allowed us one last overseas posting before the kids headed off to college. Oh well, hopefully down the road Scott and I will get to do the expat thing again. We can't forget Ana though. She also made her ascent to the ranks of co-captain of Saint Andrew's School Girl's Varsity Soccer.

Saint Andrew's School Lacrosse

17 year old Sam is in his 3rd year of playing lacrosse at Saint Andrew's School in Boca. Because of the caliber of the program (one of the top in the country) and the lovely south Florida weather, he is generally coerced into playing lax year round.

Fall club season included tournaments all over the state, with SA taking home all the championship trophies. Varsity school season begins in January 2010.

I was recruited to be the team mom as well which includes a daily dose of comittment mixed with lots of entertainment!

Tim and Jen are Married!

We visited Ohio in June for the wedding of Scott's brother Tim to his darling new wife Jen McMullen. We now have 2 great sister-in-laws. (The other being April Gasbarre, wife of my brother Mike.)
We also did two college visits since Ana and Sam will enter their Junior year of high school in September. The most notable was Ohio State our alma mater.

Yes, I Got My Drivers License Three Days Ago..

This posting is about 4 months past due. Suffice to say that 3 days after Ana received her drivers license she had her first car accident. Luckily, she was stopped in the car when a beautiful new Hummer with another new driver backed into her. No one was hurt but the drivers pocket book was emptied of $5500.

Our Champs!

The St Andrews School Girls Varsity Soccer Team finished the winter season as Florida State Semi-Finalists. Despite breaking her toe during a match in November, Ana was able to finish the season with a strong performance.

Rite of Passage

Aaahhhh. The top down on the car. My favorite song. The wind in my hair and that ever so wonderful feeling of freedom! Sam and Ana have been waiting forever for this special day. Extra special in the state of Florida where you need only to drive around the parking lot with your examiner to show the world you are road worthy. Look out.

Our First Family Race...for the Cure

We ran our first family 5K run as part of Team ADT for The Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure. My best college friend Monica Pockar Wagner joined us as we ran along the intercostal in West Palm Beach braving the chilly 50' weather. We are pictured on the right in the team photo with me kneeling on the end, Monica looking like Bono in her orange sunglasses and Scott and Sam directly above her. Ana had already moved onto the next event. Despite my marathon training less than a year ago, I had the slowest time of our family at a 9:19 mile pace. I guess the 30 year age difference doesn't hurt either!
