They are getting old :(

I remember when Pauli use to try to eat Annie's toes ... look at them now. This is Pauli and Annie after their game today. Go Chiefs !

First Day of School !

Emily and Annie headed off to school this morning. Emily starts her first day of kindergarten and Annie is in second grade. Good Luck ! Hope you both have a great year !

PS: Good Luck Mom too !

The Great Outdoors !

Camped out with girls last night ... very enjoyable in the 150% humidity :(

Probably the hottest and most humid evening of the entire summer .

The girls had a blast and can't wait to do it again. Dad on the other hand is hoping we lose the tent ! Mom of course used the pregnancy excuse to avoid the experience all together. Next summer we are going to need a bigger tent !

Yankee Stadium

Went to the big ballpark in the Bronx today with my dad, brother-in-law Tony, and my nephew Brad. We saw Shelly Duncan hit a dramic game-tying home run with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, only to see the Yanks blow it the next inning. :(

Anyway ... it was a great day and a great game.

GO YANKS !

GO CHIEFS GO !

Annie made her debut tonight as a cheerleader for the Lakeland Jr. Chiefs Football Team. She did great and we are proud of her !

Go Chiefs !

Sexy - Cosimo

Move over Jerry Boyarsky ... this might be Lakeland High School's Proudest Moment.

Our boy Cosimo Costa has been named one of Philadelphia's 2007 Sexy Singles.

To think of all those years of hanging around with this guy and I never knew I was in the presence of such sexiness.

Don't forget to Vote For Cos !

Sisters !

Great pics of Annie and Emily on their way to the beach. They had a blast on vacation !

Lots of Fish !

Annie and Emily had a blast tonight ... they were catching fish on every cast. Who knows ? ... maybe someday they will even become MOABs.

Happy 4th of July !

The girls are all decked out in their red, white and blue. Unfortunately the weather is not cooperating. Temps might not reach 70 today.

Fished this morning .... for pics of the fish go to http://newtonlake.wordpress.com

Anyway ... hope everyone has a safe holiday !

Dance, Dance, Dance

Spent another wonderful Father's Day at a dance receital. Annie couldn't dance because of her leg and Emily was in one dance for about 4 minutes. :(

I guess I shouldn't complain... a lot of the other people were complaining they had it worse ... they had to go to one on Saturday and another on Sunday. It hilarious standing in line waiting to go into this receital... you get to hear everyone complain about how aggrevated they are that its held on Father's Day ... and they always say ... "it's always been that way". You think at some point people would learn. Only in Carbondale !

New Docks !

We got the dock set up for the summer ... thanks to Tom Regenski of Gresham's Chophouse at Lake Wallenapaupack ( www.greshams.net ) for all of his help.

Looking forward to a great summer !

Scranton Yankees Baseball !!

Here are Annie and Emily at the AAA Yankees game today. That grass is almost as nice as the grass in our yard. Yeah right !!!

The Disabled List

Annie's baseball season has come to a close as she has officially been put on the disabled list. She isn't really too upset about it. As long as she is still able to swim she is OK with it.

New Yankees Hitting Coach !

I think I may apply to become the new hitting coach for the Yankees. I was able to figure out why Annie is having hitting problems. Now I am ready to tackle the problems of Damon, Abreu, Cano, Arod, Melky and every other Yankee who also look like they are closing their eyes when they swing.

The Graduates

Congrats to Emily, Giana and Riley, they graduated today from Pre-K 4 at Sacred Heart in Carbondale. Now they are ready for Kindergarten ! Here they are with the support of their sisters Annie, Maria and Molly !

If you think Hank Aaron is worried about Barry Bonds. Barry Bonds needs to worry about Emily. Here she is at bat tonight in her tee ball game, and here is
a video of her first home run.

The Boat Project !

As if I didn't have enough going on in my life right now. I have decided to take on the project of getting an old boat up and running. I have a few friends who said they will partner with me on this project ( which means I am sure I will end up doing all the work ;) ... but it should be fun!

If anyone reads this and knows anything about a Glastron Carlson CV-16 boat with a Mercury 115 Hp outboard engine... please contact me ! I know nothing about boats... or motors :( , so I can use all the help I can get.

The goal of this project is take this boat.


...and make it look like this !



... we have a lot of work to do :)

It's baseball season in Greenfield Township, PA !

Emily & Annie got their uniforms today and are ready for baseball season which starts next week here in Greenfield Township, PA. Thanks to small businesses like Kurtz Excavating and Jonal's Lawn & Garden kids get a chance to play baseball. Show them your support !

The MOABs are back !

The MOABs got back in action tonight after taking the winter off. We didn't catch any fish but at least the ice was off the lake.

Visit our MOAB web site at http://newtonlake.wordpress.com

YIKES !

Here we go again !
