Coro 15

Margaret went to Coro this year with Marco Bommarito. All these girls shouldn’t be this old.

Cross Country

Another season of cross country is in the books for Margaret. She did very well, getting 3rd (out of a couple hundred) in a couple of races. She would have done better in the one these pictures are from, but she had to stop with 100 yards to go to throw up and a few people passed. All in all, she did very well. She will have to work a bit harder to make varsity next year.

Galapagos

The kids were very lucky to have their Grandma Susan take them to the Galapagos. Margaret and Sam even got to miss a week of school. They all had a great time there seeing all the wildlife, snorkeling, etc. They met Marcella there as well. They took LOTS of pictures.

Parent’s Weekend

We all went to Ann Arbor to see what Katy has been doing for the last couple of months. We were able to go to a frat party, wonder around campus a lot, go to the big house, and other things that make up Katy’s college life. The kids also got to see where Elizabeth grew up, her various schools etc. Margaret is ready to go to college now. And of course, we got to take Katy out shopping at the most expensive stores we could find in Ann Arbor.

MBA

On Katy’s last full here before she went to college, we decided to go to one of her favorite places, the aquarium. Fun was had by all. We even got Pinkberry.

First Day of School

Sam was off to middle school and Margaret to high school. If you click on the pictures above, you can see that Margaret is continuing the fine tradition of wearing really small shorts to school that Katy pioneered for the last 4 years. Katy is off to Michigan in a few days. Margaret has started cross country and seems to be enjoying it a lot at the high school. Sam seems pretty ambivalent about middle school.

8th Grade Graduation

Margaret had her 8th grade graduation. She managed to match her sister with all A’s (a principal scholar). They are going to allow her to go the 9th grade next year. We were worried.

8th Grade Dance

Margaret got a pretty new dress for her 8th Grade dance. I am a bit worried about how excited she was about going to the dance. I expected her to be more sullen. Seems like she had a good time. Not sure who she danced with. I don’t know if I will have to worry a lot about this one and boys.

Point Lobos

In an attempt to see some of the country around where we live, I decided to take the family to Carmel-by-the-Sea and Point Lobos. Everyone complained about why would they want to spend a day with the entire family. Well, in the end, everyone had a great time and we got to see some beautiful parts of the country that are pretty near by. Margaret enjoyed it so much she made her Grandma Susan take her back to Carmel a few weeks later.
