This past weekend was a lot of fun for the entire family. On Saturday; Shelly, Alex & I all went to the first annual Utica Riggiefest. My sister Shelly was one of the individuals in charge of this event. The event was a big success! The OD estimated that some 2,000 people attended. This is almost double the amount of people that were expected. I’m sure that next year’s event will be even bigger.

After the Riggiefest, my side of the family got together for some poker. The last time we got together and played was before Alex was born. Everybody was a little rusty however; at the end, we had a great showdown between Chris and Lori. Chris ended up winning but Lori put up a good fight. You’ve gotta love how poker can bring a family together :).

Yesterday (Sunday) was Rob’s graduation! Rob graduated from Lemoyne with a bachelors in special education. It was hard for me to believe that he has graduated from college. It seems like only yesterday he was a 12 year old little kid playing lacrosse with me. Congratulations Rob!

I can’t believe that it has almost been a month since I last posted something on this site. As you can imagine, Shell and I have been very busy as of late. Alex has definitely started to form his own personality. He really is a lot of fun. He is smiling a ton! Shell and I have also gotten back to some what of a normal sleeping pattern. Alex is getting up twice at most. Some nights he has only gotten up once. Just today I spent some time looking over Alex’s older pics. It’s amazing how much he has grown. I can’t imagine how much he weighs now.
Here are some new pics of the little stinker….
