It’s been nearly a year since the last blog post. Fortunately, nothing, really, happened in the past year. So I would like to write a short post about the few highlights from these past seasons.

What We’ve Been Doing
Jeff and Kathy made a stop in Pittsburgh in early August. Kathy was taking some quality sabbatical time in her hometown in Ohio. On their return trip to the Carolinas they spent a weekend in western PA.
We used this opportunity to see a Pirates game. They played the Colorado Rockies (and won), but that was secondary to the promotion. That evening’s game was also a SkyBlast which features fireworks and a live performance (George Thorogood for this SkyBlast). As with all games Jeff and Brian see together, this one took an awful long time and went into extra innings. The fireworks and band didn’t get started until after 11:30. With tired kids we weren’t able to stay for the whole hour-long show. Continue reading
Andy Warhol and Parents
This past weekend we had visitors from the Midwest. Brian’s parents made the trek from southcentral Wisconsin to southwestern Pennsylvania.
The parents arrived on Friday, and we showed them around Cranberry Township, including the new Westinghouse offices. Following that, we spent some time at the Seven Fields Carnival. Continue reading
Recap: Summer 2009
The Summer of 2009 started with our Disney trip. Looking back on the summer, it seems that we didn’t do too much after that.
We spent a lot of time at the local pool. We didn’t get too many hot days. The pool was more of an activity that a relief. The kids enjoyed it. Continue reading
Back to Minnesota
We visited Minnesota over Memorial Day weekend. Kate and the girls flew out on Thursday, at the start of a 5-day school break. Upon arriving in Minneapolis-St. Paul, they went to the old school and visited with the kids’ teachers. After that it was a race back to the neighborhood to see their friends off the bus. Natalie was able to hang with her BFF Paige. That evening, Kate and the girls stayed at the home of our good friends (and former neighbors) the Smiths.
Where was Brian? In Denver. I was attending a conference for work. The conference ended on Thursday and I flew to the Twin Cities Friday morning. Kate met me at the airport and we had a quick lunch at the Woodbury Cafe and drove around some neighborhoods. We saw a Parade of Homes model open, so we stopped in for a tour. It was a nice home in Stonemill Farms made by Norcutt Homes. Continue reading
Recap: Summer 2008
The blog updates over the summer were pretty scarce. We did stuff; we just didn’t write about it. So here it is, our recap of the highlights of Summer 2008.
Near the end of June, Doug, Sue, and the cousins took a swing through western Pennsylvania on their way back from Disney World. It was a short visit, but it was nice to get the cousins together. Continue reading
