God I was hoping the seizure was just alcohol withdrawal. I am not a fan of much of Ted Kennedy's politics. But today at Mass I said a prayer for him. I am also not a fan of his punk brother, Robert, who got his brother John killed by betraying the people who put him in the White House . But one of the most moving moments in Ted Kennedy's career, and in the history of the Republic, was the eulogy he delivered at Robert Kennedy's funeral. No one has ever explained better what the noble side... Read Full Story

We recently returned from a family trip to Valley Forge, PA. Jeff had a conference for work there and we tagged along. It saved us on many expenses. We visited the Valley Forge National Historical Park and also Jenkins Arboretum in King of Prussia. We also got to visit our dear friends, the Lasters , who we knew from Birmingham. They live in Lebanon, PA, which was only 1.5 hours from where we were! Below are some of the pictures. Read Full Story

Jenna & Scott drove over an hour to meet me at the Valley Forge National Park (remember that place where George Washington...never mind just read your history books). Jenna & Scott had fun...maybe a little too much fun at their engagement session. Take a look. - Cross Processed Baby! Interested in... Read Full Story
This past weekend, we took Jackson to the Super Pet Expo at the Valley Forge Convention Center. It was a glorious find when I heard about it the week before, and I was super excited to get tickets. It was definitely a bonus when we saved $3 by purchasing our tickets online. $9 a person, leashed pets were free! SCORE! I was very excited to take Jackson out of the house on a trip solely for him. I thought he would have the best time ever, I was probably more excited for it that he will ever... Read Full Story
