Basketball Fun

Both boys went all in this basketball season, with Colin on two teams and Owen finishing up his second and final season of Saturday morning basketball at TJ Middle School.

Valentine’s and School

Right before we headed out to Great Wolf Lodge, it was a big day at school – 100 days and Valentine’s Day. There were 5 math-themed games and enough Valentine’s treats to give Halloween a run for its money!

A 10th Trip to Great Wolf

After 10 trips in 12 years, we’ve become up close and personal with Great Wolf Williamsburg. We continue to hit our stride, enjoying the water park, the arcade and MagiQuest (and naps for mom and dad on occasion) in perfect balance!

A Happy-ish New Year

Out and About in Punta Cana

A holiday visit to Punta Cana offered more than the resort to explore. We headed out on another snorkel trip with Hispaniola Aquatic Adventures and also visited a typical countryside home to learn how common products are made.

A Merry Christmas Eve and Day

It was a busy Christmas Eve and Day out and about and spending time with family. We got Sonic 3 out of our system before a hibachi lunch out. Then, it was up to Maryland to see the Tuckers and Simpsons before an exciting Christmas morning and time with the Pohorylos.

A Ravens Win

The pressure was on – a birthday present redeemed, frigid temperatures, first football game for half the family, and the Ravens facing their Steelers rivals. But the Ravens delivered with a strong showing and an ultimate win, clinching a spot in the playoffs!
