Last Friday, a bunch of us got together for dinner in Hoboken. It seems to be a central location for our friends Rob and Jeanette (Hackensack), Donny and Susan (Long Island) and Patty (Mahwah). We started out at a restaurant called O’Neill’s where we had way to many Stella’s...

Easter in Eastchester

This year Jen and Tom spent Easter with her cousin Anita. While we spent most of our time in adult conversations with Norm (Jen’s dad), Anita, Anthony, Brian, Liam and Amanda…surprisingly most of the pictures are of Amanda and Liam’s son, Colin. Earlier in the day, Jen and Tom...

Colin Heller

Jennifer’s cousins Liam and Amanda recently had a baby boy, Colin. (OK, technically, Amanda had the baby with only the briefest of participation by Liam.) (OK, in all fairness to Liam, we really can’t comment on how brief the participation might have been. It is only a figure of...
