April 2009

Happy Birthday to Bethany and Sarah Jane

The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.  Let us be thankful for the fools.  But for them the rest of us could not succeed. — Mark Twain

Nothing much new to report this month.  Pop-Pop had hip replacement surgery a few weeks back.  He is doing fine with his recovery so far.  Baseball season has started and so far the Washington Nationals are not much better than last year.  Maybe they will get better as the season progresses.

See you next month...

Happy Birthday to Ross, Pop-Pop, Gina, Gunston, and Piggy!

Congratulations to Granny and Pop-Pop, who celebrated their Wedding Anniversary on March 1st.

A once in a lifetime event…Ross celebrated his 12th birthday on the 12th of this month.  One other rare event occurred on the third of this month,  i.e., 03/03/09.  We’ll leave the significance of this as an exercise for the reader!

We also had the biggest March snowfall in 10 years this month.  We got a couple of days off from school as a result.

Gunny and Piggy We going to have a birthday celebration at Granny and Pop-Pop’s house this coming Sunday with Gunston and Piggy.  Gunston will be eight years old and Piggy will be seven. 

Pop-Pop’s alma mater GMU lost to VCU in the CAA Tournament final, so VCU gets the NCAA Tournament bid.  GMU will probably not get at-large invite to the NCAA Tournament, but probably has a good chance of getting an invitation to the NIT.

See you next month...

February 2009

Happy Birthday Owen!

In February’s first big event, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so it looks like we have six more week of winter to look forward to year.  

The second big event this month was the Super Bowl.  The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals to win their sixth Super Bowl…that’s more than anyone else!

The last, but certainly not least, really, really BIG event for this month is Owen’s Ninth Birthday on the 25th.  We’ll have some pictures of the Birthday Boy in action next month.

Last month marked our 11th consecutive year online, so in keeping with tradition, a retrospective of “Ross & Owen Over the Years” is our theme for this month.

See you next month...
