82 Years Young!

Happy 82nd birthday to my amazing Dad ~ a man who has always led by example and continues to follow God's will for his life on a daily basis:-) We are blessed!

 

Festival Italiano 2012

 Our annual day at Festival Italiano in Belmar ~ great food and wine, flag throwers, amazing chalk art, Bocce tournament, and more!

 Flag throwers from Florence, Italy!

What a great group!

 Handsome guys!

 Tiny grapes = fabulous vino :-) 

Unfortunately these were on their way to Balistreri's Grape Stomp...

 Mark Hollenbeck's amazing chalk art in progress!

 How cute are these???

 and these also???

 

It's a company in Erie, Colorado.

 Thanks, Feldmann Four!

 Bocce tournament - woot woot!

 On our way out - pleasantly fed and wined :-)

Fall Fun!!!

Fall baseball is in full swing :-) 

We're loving the relaxed feel - the kids come from all over the league and it's great to have former competitors playing together on the same team.

 ...this is Hannah passed out, sawing logs, in the grass during Game Two last Sunday...

 Hannah is officially a Bethlehem Bobcat soccer player! She played her first official game with the A team on Thursday :-)

...getting a few great pointers from Coach Steve...

 Half time - LOVE his style of coaching the kids!!!

The older kids were awesome taking Hannah and Weston under their wing, since they were the only two fifth graders to "play up" this week...  

 All smiles!!!

 Today is "Freaky Friday" - early release day which means the 7th and 8th graders get to do something unique - today's theme "Men In Black".  Did he just flash thingy me???

 ...and a few more from school...

Prinzi Gathering!

We got together with the Prinzi's last night - what a great night!  We also celebrated Jackie's upcoming 50th birthday :-) 

 Here are the kids sneaking Ray's homemade sticky buns before the party!
