A.J. has delivered his completed Eagle Scout Project
to the 4H park. He has completed all the paperwork
and his formal Board of Review is scheduled for
Sunday, June 28th. We should be able to schedule
another Court of Honor and party for this summer.

A.J. finished his sophomore in high school this year
and played on the undefeated junior varsity football
team before being called up to the varsity team for
the playoffs.
Here's A.J. with his completed Eagle Scout project
AJ secured his learners permit on
Saturday 1/31/09. We now have 60
hours behind the wheel to complete
before he can test for his full license.

Here's AJ (#11) scoring his first Varsity
Lacrosse goal in his team's 14-2
playoff victory winning their regional
championship.  -- Spring 2009
August 2009 - AJ went to Camp Philmont in New
Mexico to participate in a Boy Scout Trek  
covering 73 miles over a 10 day period.   While
on the trail no electronic devices were permitted
- no i-pods, no cell phones, no Blackberry!  The
group of scouts traveled to New Mexico from
Chicago by train as a group.  This is one of
those trip of a lifetime experiences that he will
look back on for the rest of his life.
Sporting a new haircut, AJ did not
want to delay his departure for photos!
Not to be left out - notice Kelsi just
over AJ's left shoulder, making sure
she got in the picture too!
And they made it!  Here's the return after 73 miles
on foot on the trail.
A busy couple of days:
AJ earned his Eagle on Sunday, August 9, 2009 and then passed his Drivers test on
Monday, August 10, 2009 - thanks to the "cash for clunkers" program, AJ was able to take
his test in his mother's brand new Honda Civic!
First solo trip
Next step - Court of Honor!!
On top of the world - with a bit of ego?
New wheels - new license
What else do you do to
entertain yourself in the
middle of a blizzard??

On Tuesday, May 25, 2010 A.J. and the rest of the Queen Anne's
High School Lions lacrosse team won the Maryland state lacrosse
championship.  The team scored the winning goal with a mere 28
seconds left on the clock.

But there was more to the story
than we realized that day at the
stadium.  Click on the picture of
