Last weekend was Cearra's high school's first football game of the season, so the Maryland Mechem Three packed up the car once again and took off for Virginia Beach. After more than seven hours of crawling traffic, we finally arrived and took our place in the stands. And while the team was a bit of a disappointment, the cheerleaders looked good (Cearra most of all!) and Owen was thrilled to see his beautiful big sister and show off his custom made t-shirt.
Our friends Amy and Jack opened their home to us for the weekend and we enjoyed visiting with them and Joshua, Jackson and Madison. The heat index on Saturday was 106, so we made a splash in their community pool - Owen loved being in the water, splashing, kicking, and "jumping" off the side - before heading back to the house for a cook-out and a relaxing evening in the A/C!
Cearra was in heaven surrounded by all the kids - she is soooo good with children - and Owen had a blast playing with Joshua (at one point "playing" involved them facing each other while sitting on the kitchen floor and taking turns yelling "ahhh"!). Bob and I were feeling especially blessed to have our two incredible kids together.
On Sunday we had our AES fantasy football league draft, and I'm happy to report that with the first pick, "O's Outlaws" (that's me) selected LT! Bob and I face off opening day; stayed tuned for results. We've been prepping Owen for the season too - he wears the Raven's purple and black well!
We are looking forward to a quiet week at home and then it's back on the road to join my Mom and newly-retired Dad (congrats Dad!!) for a golf weekend at the Seaview Resort in NJ. More pictures will surely follow ...

It was good to see pictures of C and Owen together. He looks like he really enjoys being with her and she with him. It's great to see pictures of C on the blog too as we don't see her but about once a year.
Have fun this weekend.
Love,
Uncle Rich & Aunt Cathy
It's nice to see the smiles on both their faces. Owen looks like he has so much more hair then the last time we saw him. Glad to see Cearra is doing well...we miss her.
Love,
Kris, Jeff, Sam & Kenzie
