Miller's Bakery, Cliffside Park, NJ

This is where Kimberly lived for a couple of months while in Cliffside Park. The bakery and Cliffside bagles is just down the street. Nice location, don't you think?
We went to an Italian Bakery. I think these pictures speak for themselves.





Everything tasted to yummy, including the cannoli's, the cookies, the pastries... if only it were closer. We also stopped and got some of the best bagel's I've ever had.


New York skyline

We had to take some picture of the New York skyline. It's amazing.
Alexis is holding, Mary. Her eighth grade project she brought home for the weekend. She would randomly cry, even at night, and Alexis would have to hold a key in her back to get her to stop crying. She also had to log when and for how long she cried. She had to take her everywhere. We received a lot of strange looks from people and others knew exactly what the doll was for.

Piccolo's Pizza in Patterson, NJ

We spent the day in New Jersey. Kimberly showed us around to several of the places where she lived while on her mission there. We had the best pizza ever at Piccolo's.
The pizza was giagantic and so were the slices.
Delicious!!!
The owner of the place was your typical Italian-American, accent and all. It was such a fun experience to listen to him talk.

8th Grade fieldtrip to Washington, DC

Alexis' entire class went to Washington DC, via very comfortable charter busses, to see "Little Shop of Horrors" at Ford's Theatre. Her seat was on the third row, along with a live orchestra, which made this such an awesome experience. It's the theatre where Abraham Lincoln was shot. They stll have plays there. Check out, Fordstheatre.org. They also went to the museum across the street.
After the play, they went to the Old Post Office Pavillion for lunch. There is an amazing view of DC from the top of this building. Alexis got to spend the entire day with her friends from school and had an amazing time. What a fun, fun, fieldtrip!!!! I'm so glad she was able to have this opportunity and experience that she'll never forget.

SPRING!!!

Spring in the East is so beautiful. I love all the colors of the many different blossoms and flowers.
