Part four of my five post 2012 photo recap – and this one will cover the last three months of the year. But wait, if this covers the last three months, what will the fifth installment include? If you recall in my first recap post (here), I mentioned the last one will feature my night [...]

And here we are, continuing on with the third of five installments recapping my favorite photos from 2012.

And we continue on with the 2012 photo recap, with this post moving onto the second quarter of 2012.

I usually do a monolithic recap of the previous year’s photos, but this year I decided to do things a bit differently – I’ll be splitting it up into five posts. My main reasoning behind this is I’ve been a bit, um, behind in posting to the blog here. So to start to make up [...]

This past Sunday we were looking for something to do with the kids. Jill stumbled on the fact that the Big East Women’s soccer playoffs were moved from Storrs to Rentschler Field in East Hartford due to the hurricane, and as a result of the venue move, admission was free. With the final game on [...]
