Family Portraits and Favorite Pictures - 2018

It's a dog's life.

Lexi went to the Women's March on the National Mall with her friend Tess in mid-January.

We enjoyed a nice visit from Grandma Pat in late January.

   

It's always fun at the zoo.

   

We sure had an awesome time in Jamaica for spring break, even if Lexi wasn't with us.

   

   

   

   

           

   

   

           

       

   

   

   

       

   

Alexa sure enjoyed her trip to Germany with a school group.  She managed to take almost a thousand pictures, with her in only four or five.

   

   

   

   

   

       

   

           

   

   

   

   

   

   

Andy sure has a lot of fun.

   

   

   

We enjoyed a visit with Uncle Denny, Aunt Cindy and Britney in April

Andy sure looked great and had a wonderful time at junior prom.

           

           

   

   

The cats sure entertain Lexi.

       

Some great spring flowers this year.

   

With a lot of rain in the spring, we had two memorable hikes at Great Falls.

       

Alexa sure enjoyed working on various murals at Chantilly High School along with other art projects.

       

But, it's time to move on.  Here she is at her high school graduation, along with everybody else.

           

       

       

       

       

       

   

   

   

   

We headed out on a trip to Costa Rica to celebrate her graduation (and allow a family trip over the summer before she headed off to Penn State).  What an absolutely wonderful time.

   

   

   

   

   

   

       

       

   

       

   

       

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

       

       

           

   

       

   

   

       

   

   

   

Andy's soccer team was playing in the East Regional Finals the next week.

       

   

       

   

       

   

   

Baseball and fireworks just before the 4th

Kayaking on the Potomac

   

   

   

We enjoyed the Lotus and Water Lily Festival at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens.

       

We enjoyed a kayaking trip to Mason Neck State Park the next weekend with Aryn, who was in town for a couple weeks.

   

   

We enjoyed a couple shows in August.

       

Steve and Andy had a great trip to Chicago and the Midwest to see grandma, a Cub's game, and four colleges.

   

   

While Andy plays, Alexa has started her freshman year.

       

Finally got a break in the weather to go on a ride on the C&O Canal Trail and Manassas National Battlefield.

       

Here we are at a Paul Simon concert and the Nationals-Cubs game.

   

We went up to visit Alexa at Penn State, where Uncle Denny and Aunt Cindy joined us.

            

       

   

Here are Andy's senior portraits from fall 2018.

       

Here are some pictures of Andy with his date, Corinne, from homecoming (and with his friend, Nicole).

       

Andy had fun playing a different sport this fall, ultimate Frisbee.  A lot less serious than travel soccer.

Although we dearly missed Alexa, the three of us had a wonderful time at Walt Disney World.  We managed to hit all four parks in four days, including a behind-the-scenes tour at the Magic Kingdom.

       

       

       

   

   

       

        

   

   

       

   

Here we are at the IAI Christmas Party

   

And at the Meadowlark Lights Festival

   

and at other pre-holiday events

       

and Christmas and post-holiday events (a trip to the Botanical Gardens).
