From the Ridgleys (Libby Nealon Ridgley & family)


Hello all from the Ridgley Family! We are back in full swing after almost 3 weeks of much needed vacation! Disney World was a lot of fun. We went to almost everything in Epcot and Magic Kingdom. The kids 4 1/2, 6 1/2 and 8 1/2 were great ages to enjoy it! We then went to Delray Beach which is where Peter's parents and grandparents live. That was the best part of the trip - being with family and enjoying the weather!
I am keeping busy shuttling the kids to school and activities. I am also playing tennis and running when I can. I am hoping that I get picked from the lottery to run the San Francisco 1/2 Marathon for Lymphoma in October. I am looking forward to spending the summer in Chatham!
Pete is continuing working hard at Iron Mountain as the Director of Information Security. He is looking forward to getting the boat in the water & fishing. We are hoping he can work from Chatham on Mondays and Fridays this summer.
Will is in 2nd grade and is practicing his praying mantis part in his school play. He will be dressed up as a priest bug. He is going to be playing chess, baseball and tennis this spring. He is going to make his First Communion on May 10th. Will's favorite thing is Pokemon.
Pierce is in kindergarten at a great school in Westborough where all the teachers call him BMOC - big man on campus, but he will soon be a little guy at Fay. We are so happy that he and Will will attend the same school. Pierce's favorite things to do are listen to music (the Easter bunny brought him his own cd player), write love notes to everyone in the family, draw and build things. Since the boys share a room for sleeping, Pierce's room holds all the building supplies and art supplies. Pierce is going to play soccer, tennis and go to the Reading Studio this spring. He is busy all the time!
Lily is a in preschool 3 mornings a week at the same school Pierce goes to. She is a strong willed, but sweet little girl. She loves dolls and keeping up with her brothers. She learned to swim on her own while we were in FL. She takes ballet and tap, does a little cooking class at Hooray for Books and goes to the Reading Studio. She will hopefully take tennis too - I have lots of little tennis skirts and dresses waiting in her closet!
We are loving our 7 month old Golden Retriever, Miley. Simba, our 13 year old cat is adjusting slowly by not coming downstairs. Turtwig, Will's turtle just swims & eats gold fish.
Life is good in the Ridgley household. We love you all! Lib
