Happy Bday to me!

Dave took me to see my first Cirque du Soleil performance of "OVO" at the National Harbor. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! Spellbinding! Riveting! That's the best way I can describe it!

Back to School!

Road trip to South Carolina

We had to take the kids to "SOUTH OF THE BORDER" on the way down south - this tacky, famous junk stop was a nice little break on our drive to South Carolina to the Santa Rita family reunion.

2010 Summer: Sabrina at Summer Camp

Sabrina went away for a week at summer camp at Mt. Aetna with her friend Dani, who came all the way from Guam. The girls started planning this 3 years ago when we were at family camp together at Camp Au Sable in Michigan.Nate was so sad to see his Sissy go, and kept asking when she was coming home all week long. It was a nice reunion on Sunday when we picked her up, though she's missing her new friends and counselors today!

2010 June: Swim Class

What a difference a year makes! Nate took swim classes for a week and made a lot of progress as his fear seems to have vanished since last summer. He woke up early every morning, put his bathing suit on right away, and couldn't wait to get to class.

Father's Day 2010

Father's Day started out with our traditional breakfast in bed, then we met up with the Woosters in Rockville at the FIRST WATCH cafe for breakfast. After that, we headed to Hagerstown to take Sabrina to summer camp for the week.

2010 June: Ramirez Visit

Our good friends, the Ramirez Family arrived from Guam on June 14. They are visiting us in Maryland for a few weeks and it's been a party every day and night since they arrived!

2010 Ostrom Family Reunion at Deep Creek Lake, MD

Uncle Burton

Though the event has come and gone, I want to highlight my Uncle Burton's TV spot promoting the jazz festival in the San Diego area on Memorial Day weekend. Someday, we will get out there to see the festival ourselves. "Unca B", remember the little people!
