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?!?!

Emmaline has a job

Emmaline is working at the same place Michael is now.  He is proud that he got his sister a job and I am happy that she has one, it should be just as good for her as it was for Michael.  She is only doing filing and secretary work and she was happy she does not have to deal with patients.  I am not sure how to match that up with her default position to be a nurse but perhaps she'l be able to work that out with herself in the next month or two.

Em is employed

On Sunday Michael invited his sister Emmaline to come help out at the dentist office. The dentist loved her so much he gave her a job. Great job Em! For now she will be working at the same time as her brother. Now there are 3 of us wearing scrubs to work.

Michael Passed his Motorcycle class

He dumped the bike 3 times (glad it was not mine) but he passed and I guess that is what the class is for.  He does seem too be more reluctant than I expected but I think it is more of a health respect for the activity than anything.
