Happy New Year, everybody!

We had some friends & family over on New Year's Eve, and it was a lot of fun. Our kids spent the night at my parents' house, so Angie and I were free to mingle and engage in some adult conversation. But we also balanced the adult conversation with some Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero competition (courtesy of Paul, who brought all the instruments, the games, and his Xbox 360)! After midnight, Angie decided to start up some Texas Hold' Em in the dining room and broke even by the end of the party. Can't complain about that!

Steve brought some fireworks to launch after midnight, which was a "blast" even though it was freezing and very windy outside. All the trees are still standing and no forest fires were started. ;-)

We had lots of snacks & cookies, along with Cyndi's baked ziti and about 200 Chick-Fil-A nuggets that Angie and I picked up before the party. And of course we had plenty of alcoholic beverages to ring in the new year.

Here are some pictures taken during the night:

Fairmount Park River Rescue

Went to Fairmount park around 4pm today with the family for a bike ride around the park. As soon as we got there and parked, Dillon said to me, "There's a car in the water!" A minute later, he said, "Someone is inside!" It was the craziest thing I've ever witnessed. Thank God someone was there with a tire iron and a few guys swam out and busted the back window open!  One of the guys said he was her husband (he said this as he walked right past me).  We all felt completely helpless. I wanted to jump in and do something but I had nothing to break glass with. One witness said she saw the car accelerate into the river...  We just don't know if it was intentional. Crazy Easter!

Valentine's Day 2019

The Hampton/Doyle families got together for the 11th annual Valentine's Day Dinner.  This year it was our turn to host the meal, so we kept it fairly simple with some spaghetti & meatballs, and some cresent rolls.  The kids played video games and hung out in the basement while we chatted at the dining room table and got caught up.  Always a fun evening! Here is a collage of some photos we snapped... <<-Mark-->>
