California Dreamin’

John — Thu, 10 May 2012 15:02:50 +0000

My younger brother Keith and I recently took a trip to the Left Coast a few weeks back. It was our first time ever visiting California. While I was very excited to go, I had no idea that the trip would have been as great as it was. Nor did I expect the kind of constant day-dreaming that is still happening to me as a result of our visit. I keep seeing visions of all the beach towns we saw, and the endless, slow-breaking, clean surf that seems to be superfluous over there. (What a major difference to East Coast swell.). Check the video below for a great example from Keith’s phone:

We attended a lovely wedding for the first portion of the trip, and then it was down the PCH following our nose. I had an incredible time with Keith and the food was awesome, the sights were fantastic (like all the unique, old and new, cars that we saw driving around) and I’m really hoping that life will lead me back there one day. California Dreamin’ indeed.

Edisto/Kiawah Islands!

Photos from another awesome trip to South Carolina with the Wojciech clan. I tell you, we only have had beautiful weather down here. Awesome! We did half-week in Edisto Beach, and the another half on Surfsong Road. Happy Easter!

Emmett is 1!

We celebrated Emmett’s first birthday with a “Winter One-derland” party. There were more snowflakes in our house than we saw outside all winter! What a blessing it was to have so much family there to celebrate our little “Goo Bear” turning one!

Merry Christmas!

We had another wonderful Christmas season! Enjoyed Vienna’s annual Holiday Stroll and the Bull Run Festival of Lights, picked out the perfect tree, visited Santa (3 different times!), decorated our gingerbread house, and visited with family. “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”

Ocean City in September

Our family just returned from the Jersey shore. While we were there for a full 8 days, we only had about 12 hours of sunshine …the Eagles lost, the surf was lousy, WoF slots kicked my rear, and my Polaroid film turned out horribly. That’s the bad news. The good news, is that our boys had a wonderful time anyhow, and we spent lots of time together on the beach and on the boardwalk. Another nice thing was that we didn’t get a lot of rain, which made for a nice, relaxing vacation. Amen!

Random Summer 2011

Though the Summer Solstice hasn’t officially arrived, Labor Day has come and gone, and the kids are back in school. That means Summer is over! Our family had a very interesting, and somewhat different summer this time around. We still tried to do as much as we could to get out and about, so here are a few random images. Enjoy!

Soccer Camp 2011

Now that Tyler will be entering his first season of VYS in the U5 division, I figured it’d be fun to post some photos and video of the week-long camp he went to this past summer. Cousin Susan was also in the same class, and a fun time was had by all!

Homeless!

John — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 01:09:07 +0000

In July we had to move out of our house for 17 days. Here are some photos of what we were up to while we were homeless. We went to the Watermine, Frying Pan Park and a few playgrounds, hung out at Nonna’s house, played in the pool at Babcie and Grandad’s house and had dinner with Uncle Keith. Incidentally, it wasn’t all that different from what we do when we’re not homeless.

Emmett – 6 months

Hooray for Emmett reaching 1/2 years old! God is good!

4th of July!

John — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 14:45:40 +0000

Every year on the 4th of July we head over to the Vienna Community Center to enjoy the kiddie rides, food and classic car show. Tyler and Owen had a lot of fun completing the giant obstacle course and big slide this year. We ate some hot dogs, shared a shave ice and admired the classic cars before heading home to get out of the heat. That night the boys stayed up late to watch Daddy set off some fireworks that we got on our trips earlier this year.
