Before and After Sandy

             So here are Zanny and our kids in Annapolis in 2010, and then today!                                    

 

Could be worse for Maryland !

Hurricane Sandy Oct 2012

 

So here it is ....our Cotoctin Creek , yes creek !

 

 

Near the green bridge .

 

 

The view below is directly opposite our driveway.

 

 One of our neighbors has a bridge onto their property, usually the water level is way below the bridge .This morning I noticed debris next to the bridge as well as a huge tractor with stabilizers on the bridge .

 

This water is rushing so fast, love the sound of it, can hear it from the house .

 

 

View from our front porch !

 

 

Happy Halloween !!

Angelica's visit, fall break and Rebecca's chair

 Cross bars were recommended , so the last touches to Alexander's Eagle project were done

"Sistas", together forever .....

Angelica getting a chance to see Alexanders project .

2012 homecoming dance

 

Girls getting ready for the dance , mmm Rebecca has her list going again !

 

 The girls , Autumn, Maddie, Natalie, Rebecca and Ollie .

 



 

Angelica, thanks for letting Autumn wear your little black dress! 

 

 

Rebecca not only has a list thing going, I think she has a hair thing going as well!

 

 

 

 

 

 Alexander went to homecoming solo, had a blast, left with a few  possibilities and I think he might be dating one soon !"Swagga" .

 



Middletown Homecoming 2012

 Rebecca and Alexander surprised us for breakfast on Throwback Thursday, unbelievable what they can find in this house on such short notice.Rebecca even had a bump it in her hair !

 

 

School spirit Friday

, Rebecca tried her new orange hair dye that washes out. It looks like a mascara stick !

 

Alexander had his face painted at school by some girls! He is the class of 2013. 

 

 

 

Alexander wearing Moeke's orange Dutch horns! Last time we saw these, I think we were in the olive groves in Greece watching the world cup soccer finals. Off to the game with Natalie and Rebecca. Natalie is Rebecca's football buddie, they watch the games together .

 

 

Alexander just dying a thousand deaths because I pulled out the camera. Friends Mitch and Andrew.

 

 

This is so American for those of you who don't live here. I always feel like i'm in the movies . Atmosphere is fabulous, school spirit incredible, cheerleaders, the band and when you win your homecoming game ......

 

......

Fireworks!!!!

 



 

 

Cheers!

Rebecca's notes

This is a side of Rebecca you may not know !  She is a notes and list kind of girl....

 

 

.....and they are even on the ceiling !

 

 



This one cracks me up ...especially the shower Monday night ....dont see shower on the list for the rest of the week ! By the way EJ thats your Police stopped my car writing from years ago !!!

 

 



Hair- check

Braces- check -(This list was in February)

 

This is a list made in Spain ,

She was even able to check off the dreadlocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The update on this one is that Alexander apparently did a bad job so she had the thing in for about a month and then was able to brush it out , whew !

 





Alexander can drive !!!

Congratulations to Alexander for passing first time round ! Of course it was the day that the MVA computers were on the blink . Alexander was issued with a piece of paper instead of the real deal !  

 



 

Mmm Sprague, I am wondering what car you are thinking about next !

 

Safe driving !!!!
