Description of Pictures
Aug 2017
We had a 2 week family vacation in Europe. We began in Germany, flying into Frankfurt, and traveling via train to Jeff Bundy's home in Spangdahlem Germany.
Aug 2017
Jeff and Krissy accepted responsibility for the girls for a few days, and allowed Jenny and I to escape for a parent-only side trip to Amsterdam. We drove to Luxembourg, and took trains through Belgium (Brussels) to our Destination of Amsterdam, for a couple nights of fun. We ate and drank as much as we could, taking in the sights, doing the Van Gogh Museum and so on. We walked SO MUCH, but enjoyed Amsterdam probably most of all the places we visited. It helps I appreciate bikes.
Aug 2017
After returning from Amsterdam, we had a little more time at Jeff and Krissy's before both our families shoved off for Paris. We had planned to stay in Paris for our second week, renting a house together that would accomodate the 9 of us, and doing all the things you do in Paris.
Aug 2017
We tackled Disneyland Paris, and had a less than stellar experience. The lines were so bad, we couldn't do anything. We were there 4 hours before getting on our first ride. I had heard that August was bad there, but it's beyond bad. I would say it's not usable and you should avoid ever going there. The 2 rides we did go on, were great. Thunder Mountain and Hyperspace Mountain, were both more significant roller coasters than their Florida counterparts (going upside down) Hyperspace Mountain looks like space mountain, and is in total darkness like the Florida version, but it's star wars themed, and the storm troopers speak french. It was awesome, and I'm glad we used our fast pass on that, but sad we didn't have the ability to experience more at that park. There were no characters around the park or anything to keep mobs occupied. We ended up leaving early, to go back to Paris and have a nice relaxing dinner there.
Aug 2017
our last few days we visited countless cafe's and shopped a little. We visited Jim Morrisons grave, which our rental house was very close to, and we did the Louvre, Notre Dame, and saw the Eiffel Tower at night. I have to say, I don't miss trains now that I'm home. Having your life revolve around trains and hustle of getting kids on and off them (with a stroller) is a little more hectic than vacation should be.
July 22th 2017
Beach week 2017! Weather could have been sunnier, as the first half of the week included a lot of clouds and rain, but we made the most of it and had another year of awesome meals and fun times around the beach and pool.
July 6th 2017
Maisey's 10th Birthday! Manicure party at the nail salon.
July 3rd 2017
Uncle Bob and family came to spend the 4th of july weekend, (and his birthday) with us. We had a bunch of fun in the sun. We saw an Orioles game at Camden Yards, and the Girls were on TV! We only found out, because the lady sitting behind us, told us she saw it on the TV when she was getting stadium food. We went out to dinner at a crab shack, and they were replaying the Game we had just driven from so we got to watch the girls on TV. I took a video at the restaurant, of the TV ;)
The next day, we went to DC and walked the mall monuments, then tackled the Spy Museum. The girls were fairly good, considering it was 2 days of extreme outdoor heat, but I think they'll remember it fondly, as will I. I just wish they lived closer, so we could play euchre more often.
June 25th 2017
Jenny, Maisey & Marcey went to see the Sound of Music on a sunday night at the Kennedy Center, with some other mothers and their kids she know's through work. This was their first theater experience, so they got all dressed up, so I took pictures. Daddy and Jo had a father-daughter night together.
June 23th 2017
Last Day of School! Now we have a rising 5th grader, rising 1st Grader, and rising Pre-Schooler.
June 10th 2017
Aunt Ann passed away way too early. Marshall, Nancy, Andy and I traveled to Seattle for her service. It was great to meet a bunch of family that I had not met before, and to catch up with those I had.

Our picture adventure starts at the airport curb, where we were dropped off by our super-awesome neighbors, who drove us in 2 vehicles in order to get us all there without paying for transportation....

Oct 16th 2016
It was shaping up to be a beautiful Sunday, and since you never know if this is the last one of those days before Halloween, we went to Cox farm with the Minson's and also to Wegmeyer farm to pick pumpkins as is our tradition. We were out and about for a full 10 hours, having a nice dinner outside on the way home. Epic day.

Some pictures from watching Herndon Highschool band and other things
Oct 1st 2016
My Grandma, Charlotte Carr, passed away earlier this year. We had her burial and memorial, back in Traverse City over the weekend. It was sad, but a good visit with those who knew her best. Follow the thumbnail at left to see pictures from the weekend, but also here's a link to the pictures from her life, that were shown during her memorial service: Photo Album
Sept 12th 2016
Preschool started a week later than the rest of the school, so Jo's first day was on my birthday. There's a few pictures of Marcey's first soccer game, but the rest are JoJo's First day of preschool . There's another classic sequence of Mary Jo, sitting on the bench, looking cute.
Sept 6th 2016
First day of school. Girls wouldn't wear their dresses (where is the eye-rolling emoticon?). Different camera's captured the event, so there's a little overlapping. Girls LOVED school and didn't want to come home, so I guess that's good... Mary Jo experimented with several different smiles. -Pay attention to her variations and vote for your favorite.
Sept 5th 2016
Our Labor Day with Jody, Tricia, Keith, Clara and Etta
Sept 3rd 2016
LobsterFest 2016! Went to PA to visit family and the newly-east-coasters, the Lawsons... We revived an old tradition of lobsters for labor day weekend. Girls had a blast, and we celebrated some birthdays.... Pictures from several sources, out of order, but you get the idea... Can you spot the 2 "clasic" photos in the bunch?
Aug 28th 2016
The final Friday Night Live and our last day at the pool this year :(

Dance Camp culminates in a show for the parents. Behold...
July 30th 2016
We finally had Maisey's birthday party! She turned 9 while we were out-of-state, earlier in the month. We waited until after vacations to have her party with her school friends. She chose to have an Amphora bakery party, where each child decorates their own cake and cookie. They all had a blast, as you will see...
July 23rd 2016
Beach week 2016. I didn't caption them, but there's a couple pictures in the middle, that snuck in from our first day back after returning from the beach, when I discovered JoJo hanging out in the empty cloths hamper. Otherwise, as the pictures indicate, lots of fun in the sun. Glad to have been at the ocean, during such a hot week.
July 6th 2016
After the wedding, we went to Sandusky to visit with Jenny's Mom and Mark. We enjoyed a Detroit tigers game, in cleveland, with Uncle Bob and Rocky, and we took Maisey to Cedar Point for her 9th Birthday, since we were there on the 6th. Adding some go kart excursions during our stay added up to a very fun filled and tiring visit.
July 3rd 2016
Jacob and Richa's wedding day, the ceremony, and the reception party! Maisey, Marcey, and Mary Jo were flower girls, and Mary Jo actually walked. Super fun weekend in Grand Rapids...
July 2nd 2016
We traveled to Michigan for Jacob and Richa's wedding, but on the way, we had a welcome home/going away party for Jeff Bundy and family. They are living in Germany for 3 years, so we used this brief window to catch up with them at a VFW hall in Linden MI. There's pictures from that gathering, and also from the day of the wedding rehearsal in Grand Rapids.
March 19th 2016
Spring Break trip to Seattle! We all flew out to Seattle to visit Grandma Carr (Great Grandma to the girls), and the Derleth side of the family. We had lots of fun Seeing everyone, eating meals together, and touring around the city. The views were beautiful and Marcey did not want to come home. Here's part 1 (first 3 days) of the pictures....
March 25th 2016
Continuing Part 2 (2nd half of the week) of our trip to Seattle. As you'll see in the pictures, we visited a different playground, park, or childrens attraction each day.
Feb 18th 2016
Our little baby Jo turned into a big 2 year old on the 18th. This was our family week-night celebration, which was a lot of fun.
Feb 6th 2016
Jeff Bundy was in the area so visited with us for a bit. We also had the Herndon Father Daughter dance, which is one of the girls favorite nights of the year. We had a nice dinner out, before Maisey Marcey and I peeled off to go to the dance. They changed things a little this year, and had a photo booth, instead of the normal portrait picture. The girls loved the booth... and they danced and ran around, until they ran out of gas.
Jan 26th 2016
Sledding on a nice warm sunny day.
Jan 24th 2016
Holy crap, we got some snow! 2nd biggest storm in history at Dulles. We planned a snow party and invited the neighborhood, which we also did during the 2010 storm. Everyone had to trek through the blizzard to come. It's all over now and after 2 days of snowblowing, I'm really sore. What that machine can do, with a gallon of gas is awesome!

Thanksgiving with Jill and Mark
Oct 25th 2015
Andy joined us for Halloween. It was nice to have Halloween on a Saturday this year, but even with all the extra time to get ready, it was still a push to be ready on time. Maisey pushed a theme this year, based on her interest in Mythology, and the family dressed as gods/goddesses. Maisey was Athena: goddess of wisdom, courage,
inspiration, civilization, law and justice, mathematics, strength, war strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill (she is said to have lept from Zeus's head), Hence, I was Zeus: god of sky and thunder, Mommy was Hera: god of marriage and married to Zeus, Marcey was Hestia, and Jo was Cupid. Unfortunately we basically only got one picture of all of us :(
Oct 25th 2015
A busy weekend. We celebrated Marshall's birthday, marched in the Herndon homecoming parade, celebrated Aaron's birthday, and attended a Halloween event at Marcey's pre school. super fun, & super busy.
Oct 11th 2015
We picked a nice sunny day to visit Cox Farm. We had lots of fun and satisfied cravings for apple cider doughnuts and kettle corn. Also, I've included a sneak peak at the Goddesses, trying on their Halloween costumes...

Took some pictures off my phone, and here's some of them from the last month or so.

Aug 30th 2015
We sort of camped over the weekend. Sort of, because it was just 3 miles down the road, in the county park. Just Maisey Marcey and I camped 2 nights. We met mommy & Jojo for breakfast on Saturday morning, then Maisey Marcey and I did the water park at the camp ground. We hosted mommy and Jo for dinner at the campsite saturday eve.
Aug 28th 2015
The 2 week dance camp that Marcey and Maisey were in, culminated in the performance on friday. This is the one year (because of the class age range) that both girls will be in the same dance camp... I also have a picture of the cake we had later that night, at Friday Night Live, made by our neighbor Katie...

Just getting around to posting Mary Jo's official 1 year photo pictures. She did not enjoy herself during the photo shoot, but the photographer managed to salvage something from the session. There is one picture left in the lineup, that indicates a little better how it went ;)
Feb 28th 2015
We had Mary Jo's 1st birthday party. Kept it small and had a nice afternoon.
Feb 22nd 2015
It was bitterly cold last week, and we had a big snowstorm Saturday. But it got warm, and finished. It's 46 degrees on Sunday, and delightfully sunny. Everyone had fun outside. Shoveling was hard, and I realized it was going to wipe me out. I had the foresight to bury a sierra nevada in the snow bank, at the end of the driveway. When I finished I plopped myself in a chair and enjoyed the most perfect beer, in the bright, snow enhanced sunlight, with my feet propped on the snowbank. The perfect reward for the pain I'm going to feel tomorrow from so much shovelling.
Feb 18th 2015
Mary Jo Turns ONE! Can't beleive we have a big one year old. We had a little, family celebration tonight, but her party is yet to come...

Nov 9th 2014
Jenny's dad, Garry, lost his battle with cancer in November. We miss him very much.
He desired a party, rather than a funeral, so we gathered in that spirit.
Oct 31st, 2014
We celebrated Dawali at work, with lots of dancing and music.
Halloween was hectic and we barely had time to take pictures of the girls on Halloween night.

Our last time visiting Grandma and Grandpa Carrs house, before it was sold. Very sad to say goodbye to the place we've spent summer and Christmas vacations over the past 40 years :( We enjoyed our last time, as much as we could, and packed in a lot of fun things. Some boating, some camping, some smores.... Over the years, we've had all 3 girls in the sink, at around 6 months of age:

3 day weekend, MLK day, I had the opportunity to visit Travis Pastranas and ride his skatepark. We had a beautiful warm, sunny day, and the place was one of the most fun places I've ridden. Hope to ride there again... Never thought I'd get a run on a Red Bull Mega ramp.
