Veggie Time

Time to plant the vegetables! Looks like the cold snaps are over, so the Remlers purchased their seedlings for their summer veggies. With five grow boxes and a couple of extra pots, we're sure to have a cornucopia of vitamin-rich vegetables this summer. Even Clorox participated in the planting process. While the grow boxes look promising, we can't say the same for one of our aloe plants. It's seen better days, but the other one looks like it's about to bloom. Who knew?

Everyone participated in the bocce tournament. Even though Lawson and Laurie won, Bob and MacKenzie put up a good fight against Kelsey and Megan. There was some question about the scoring, but fortunately, Kerry was on hand with a tape measure.

Easter, 2009

What a beautiful day Easter turned out to be--the perfect day for an egg hunt, grilled burgers, bocce, an egg toss and puppies. Hats were optional.

Lawson Turns Ten!

It seems like blur, but Lawson Remler has been alive a whole decade! We celebrated with a brownie strawberry torte and lots of extended family. It was definitely a Good Friday.

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.
