What a school year it’s been. Thanks to the guidance of Ms. Gutowski and Ms. Burns, Colin has completed Kindergarten. He celebrated with a little graduation ceremony by the Extended Day program, and some fun extra treats to round out the school year!

A Father’s Day on the Field
It turns out we may have spent a Father’s Day or two at Camden Yards. But there were a lot of firsts on this one, with special time on the field before the game. It was a 90-degree sauna of a day, with a game that went into extra innings, but it was unforgettable nonetheless!
Celebrating a Grad in Style
High school graduation calls for a special celebration – and this one included a fire house tour, a family celebration and a big bonfire to end the night. While we’re sure it wasn’t all Ryan’s idea, it was a great way to spend time together!

A New School as An Era Ends
The Bright Horizons at VA Hospital Center has been a home away from home for both boys since June 2013. With its closing in a few months, it was time for not only Colin, but for Owen to move on as well. Here’s to a great community and new friends to come!
On the Field Again
For the second time, we got up close and personal with the field at Nationals Park, as the Nats took on the Padres in an extra-inning winner. O was a more active participant this year, and while it was a long day, it was a good time by all!
