Jane the Champion!!

Last weekend Jane ran a 5k in Frostburg in 23 minutes. She was the first woman to cross the finish line!!! Jane, believe this: if Amy & I were there, we would have been bowing as we sprinkled rose petals in your path.

Don't forget to ask Jane about her spectacular grand prize!

West Side Story

Jim and I were thrilled to see Domenic play the role of Tony in WSS last weekend. He sang so beautifully and his acting...amazing!! We smiled with him at the beginning when he discovered his true love and cried when he despaired over her supposed death. That was absolutely heart wrenching!!

He is so very talented and such a sweetie!!

Returned from NC

I got back earlier this week from the 31,000 acre Juniper Road Fire in North Carolina. Had a good time and worked hard. I put my pictures up on Snapfish at http://www5.snapfish.com/snapfish/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=4418522025/a=908419025_908419025/otsc=SHR/otsi=SALBlink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/

Best day ever!

Amanda Graduates!

Jim and I had a wonderful visit with Farinellis and DiPuccios last night! Domenic, Rachel (and friend Rachelle) along with Don, Martha, John and Gina were together for a fun dinner before leaving for Padua High School. The last Farinelli is officially graduated - wow! The graduate wore a sweet little brown dress with a leopard print on the bodice - very classy:)

Can't wait to see pictures!

Look out Frostburg!

Continuing on with wonderful ADAM ROSSI news... there is a new driver in Frostburg! Congrats to Adam for passing his driver's test on his first try! Impressive!

Family Tradition Marches On!

Congrats to Adam Rossi who successfully auditioned for the WVU Marching Band. It is great to see this tradition going back to Grandpa Farinelli being carried on.

Congrats to Adam for all the scholarships, being in the honors program, and all that too...

Maria's Concert

Gina and I went to Maria's concert this past Sunday. Afterwords we went out to dinner with many of the choir members as well as Uncle Johnny, Carol, Brandon, and his mom came in from Minnesota as well. We also picked up Rachel as the dinner was at a little Italian place near Akron U. All had a great time!

Cecilia!

Did you all know that Cecilia attended Honors Band last weekend at WVU where she thoroughly enjoyed playing her french horn? I understand she will also attend Honors Band at FSU later this spring. Way to go Cecilia! Didn't Mary play her oboe in an Honors Concert at South Carolina too? What musical kids...now where did they get those genes?
