Our Little Girl is All Grown Up! + Mini Zac

The weekend before we took Caroline to Villanova we took in our first family concert together... Zac Brown.

Caroline and Michael convinced Drew to dress up as Mini Zac and his costume what hilarious.

From NYC & Nova Move In

  Then it was off to NYC for a few days of sight seeing before heading to 'Nova and the start of Caroline's freshman year.   Caroline is truly in an amazing 'new home'-- One that is a perfect fit for her!   The Mass they had for the freshman class was very moving.

Great Day of Fishing with Capt Whitey!

vWhile the 5am wake-up call was tough, we were rewarded with near-perfect conditions for the trip from Cotuit to Monomoy-- absolute sleigh ride!   While the stripers were sparse, it was great to be with Jim and Wardo an our sons.

Summer Vaca on FinsUp

After many false-starts we finally made it to Cuttyhunk.  While expectations were high, the experience far exceeded them (except if you ask Caroline who was disappointed we called off the next leg of the trip to Newport).   We were joined by close friends (Cape-Koz's, Hamlins and the Whites... for one overnight we owned the dock!) 

Celebrating Caroline's 18th on Nantucket & Dissed by Jimmy!

With Michael in Mississippi and Drew at Lax camp, Trish and I were able to turn back the hands of time and visit Nantucket with Caroline like used to when she was a baby. Now she's all grown up! Special surprise, Jimmy Buffett pulled in next door! Unfortunately, he refused my request to pose in a pic in front of FinsUp. What a bummer!

We had a great time. I think Caroline really liked the 80 page photobook we gave her entitled "18 Years of Smiles" (see below the slide show or click here).

July 4th Weekend Shots

Great weather and lots of fun on the water! Also some shots of LaxBro's from Brown Lacrosse Camp (Michael and Brian White).

Caroline's Video-bio for a Gig with Seventeen Magazine

CK has been called back as a finalist to be a blogger for Seventeen Magazine.   For next step, they asked candidates to do a brief video bio.   Here it is (with Michael's help).

Caroline & Kate's Grad Party

Caroline and Kate hosted a fantastic bash at our house on Fri nite. Great kids! The 6am alarm came quickly and off the boys and I went to get FinsUp back into her natural habitat.
