Pizza Party!

... and it was Hot! Hot! Hot! Reilly celebrated his 7th birthday with friends and cousins yesterday at an awesome pizza party, thanks to our good friend and Graeme's baseball coach, Ray Sears, who opened up his local Papa John's Pizza shop to our aspiring chefs! We had so much fun placing an order in the computer and following it all around the store, from the refrigerator to dough tossing, from topping assembly to baking , from slicing and boxing to the big driver assignment map... to our house with a special delivery from Mr. Slice! Our pizzas tasted GREAT!
Thank you very much to everyone who helped give Reilly an afternoon of seven-year-old,
unforgettable fun. You know what they say, " Better ingredients, Better pizza!" or in other words, "Better friends, Better fun!"


Famous Americans


Amelia Earhart, Barack Obama, Annie Oakley, Walt Disney, and Mia Hamm all visited Reilly's 1st grade class today. Did you know that Sacajawea carried a baby boy on her back all the way across the country? Or remember who said, "Give me Liberty or Give me death?" The students had fun reminding us (Patrick Henry) by dressing in costumes and giving mini reports about their favorite famous Americans today. If you know Reilly, you know he chose a baseball player. So who was the famous #42 for the Brooklyn Dodgers who won Rookie of the Year in 1947 and National League MVP in 1949? He also played in six All Star games and six World Series. His success changed the way Americans thought about black people. You got it; it was Jackie Robinson, the first African American MLB player, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1962. Great job, Reilly. This has been quite a week for you!

Happy Birthday to You!




Hope you had a special day, Reilly Thomas. Seven years have come and gone so very quickly. We brought home a tiny pumpkin seed and now we have a great big T. We love you more than you will ever know. Now let's cut that cheesecake and stop all this blubbering!
Hey Now! You're an All Star!

Connor and Graeme were selected to play in the Baltimore Beltway Soccer League All Star game at First Mariner Arena where the Baltimore Blast play. Okay, Connor's whole team was selected for the honor this year and Graeme was invited to join them since he has been doing a great job helping them out in their winter league. They love playing together and this was a real treat, testing out their moves on an official MISL pitch and banging it off the same walls as some of their favorite stars!
