In August...

Conor turned 16 and passed his permit test 

without any trouble at all.

Andy took him and his sweetheart Emily to Scranton to see the a RailRunners minor league baseball game in the UGI box.

Sarah and her boyfriend Jeremy went up to Great Lakes

to visit Brian.

Philip fell asleep in Andy's arms 

for maybe the second time ever.

Sarah and I took all the girls and Philip

to Ocean City and to see Granddad & Pat

before Sarah had to go back to college 

Sarah, Noelle & Regina

(for her last first day!).

Sleepy Phil with the tide coming in!

We buried my mom.

Jennifer drove up from Texas for the funeral 

with her Dad & Mom, Jason, Ian, Sophia & Kevin.

Here is Regina playing with her god-brother, Kevin.

Conor broke his leg.

And Phil turned one.  :)

Phil started to take a few steps the week before his birthday, and can now take up to a dozen.

We also discovered that he is quite the camera ham, as you can plainly see.

Flashback Friday.

This picture of Sophia, Regina and Scott on the log flume 

was taken in August 2014.

And THIS one was taken about 13 years ago, circa 2001,

on BD and Sarah's first trip on the log flume.

If you look closely, you'll see a wrist poking through under my left arm.  That's all you can see of Scott, who was also clutching me for dear life.
