Lawson Reunion, 2009

Babies, barbecue and board games. This year the Lawsons thumbed their noses at the weather and held their gathering indoors at Mookie and Bill's camp house. The food was just as tasty and the company even better.

St. Patrick's Day, 2009

The crowd seemed bigger than usual this year, especially for a Tuesday. But the weather was beautiful, and we enjoyed not only watching Davis march with the BC cadets but also finding many of our friends. Stephen was right--God would never let it rain on Father O'Brien's parade. It was definitely his day.

Davis at 15

And so begins another chapter in the Remler family: Davis turned 15, and tomorrow he will go to the DMV to get his learner's license. For his birthday he received, among other things, a new pair of sunglasses so that he can protect his retinas while also looking hip as a student driver. Davis's godfather, Aloysius, joined him for dinner, as did three of his grandparents: JoJo, PopPop and Skippy.
