Family dinner

After a yummy Pennsylvania dinner of zucchini bake and peach pie we had a family photo.

Included are Butch, Vivian, Jim, Anne, Matt, Em, Rachel, and Michael.

Baking peach pie

With the peaches we picked on Saturday it was time for peach pie baking with Aunt Vivian. Matt worked hard with Aunt Vivian and Uncle Butch to cut up and mix the peaches, roll out the dough, then finally make the pie. Luckly Aunt Vivian survived teaching Matt about pie making.

Visit with Great Grandma Marrone

On Wednesday August 17, 2011 our family drove up to Johnsonburg PA to visit. That evening we had a short visit with Great Grandma Marrone. Michael and Emmaline helped with a puzzle.

Woodward family visit

Great Grandma Norma and Great Aunt Dawn flew up from Flordia for Michaels graduation from high school. This picture was taken at Great Falls National Park.

Rachel and I went Peach Picking

It is interesting to see how, as the kids start developing their own lives, Rachel and I find ourselves doing things with friends or by ourselves.  We went Peach picking on Saturday with a friend of mine from the office and his wife and 1 YO boy.  The conversation was a little jerky at times, we are at very different points in our lives, but we had a good time and think they did as well.  Now, what do I do with all these peaches?!?!
