    Bunny Bowl 2011

    Though our last Bunny Bowl was two years ago, Saturday was the “2nd Annual Bunny Bowl.” We played early on Saturday morning in order to be done before the Penguins playoff game. By “we,” I exclude myself since I have a little bit of a foot injury and have to be well for upcoming weddings. See, I keep myself healthy for you. Carmela and my Dad. Nicki and my Dad play “Rock, Paper, Scissors,” though it seems that my Dad forgot the rules. Seriously, one finger? What is that? A pencil? Looks at me like he doesn’t know the rules of R,P,S even though I have PROOF that he played…

    Turkey Bowl 2009

    This year’s Turkey Bowl was awesome!

Here is event organizer ( and best sister ever, Nicki) modeling this year’s shirts. The black team waiting to play.  A fierce bunch.  Uncle…

    Pittsburgh Penguins’ Stanley Cup Victory Parade

    I went to the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Stanley Cup Victory Parade with my mom today! We got there at 10:30am for the noon event and got a great place to stand near the beginning of the parade. Fun! Sir Mario Superstar Max Talbot and Billy Guerin Dan Geno The kid and the cup Both are so shiny…. The crowd. It wasn’t too crowded on this side of the street AND we were in the shade the whole time. I love the people who were hanging off of the Post Office (on the bottom left of this photo). Me (notice penguins temp tattoo on my left arm) and mom. Bus – photo…
