Mr. Handrick's 90th Bday Party, Mother's Day, and other Mischief

















We spent this past weekend in upstate NY with Erik's mom. Irene was kind enough to babysit Thomas on Friday nite and Saturday day so that we could go to Belhurst Castle in Geneva NY to use our gift certifcate from Uncle Bruce, Aune Joyce, and Andy. We had a lovely time there and although we dont have any photos of the views of the Finger Lakes, we will definitely be going back! Thomas behaved himself for Irene and actually slept longer than he has ever slept before!! It seems he just likes being away from Arlington! On Saturday, we all went to Mr. Handrick's Surprise 90th Birthday party at his great-nephew's house. Thomas got to chill out with Don and his family and he was very very good for us. By that evening, we were all pooped out and were in bed by 11pm. We celebrated Mother's Day with Irene at Becky's Diner, where we ran into Uncle Dick and Aunt Theresa and the whole Koons gang. That was great fun and again Thomas was very very good. We also met some of Irene's friends and the Watsons. On our way out of town, we stopped at Mr. Handrick's for a quick chat and we also stopped at Uncle Dick's house just in time to see them planting beautiful plants for Aunt Theresa. Then we began our long trek bk to the nations capitol. Upon our arrival 6hours later at home, our power went out and stayed out for the next 24 hours. Due to the rain and winds, a tree fell on the power lines at the end of our block and knocked off all of the electricity in the houses in our complex. Luckily we had some Mangialardos garlic pizza with us to keep us going!!!
