One month to go! (Kelley Click Petralia & family)

Matt, Camden and I are holding down the fort in Westborough. Camden turns 2 on April 30th (also my mom’s birthday). We cannot believe it. He is a blast – obsessed with basketball. He talks about it all the time and plays everyday. And, he’s actually a very good shooter. He has one of those Fisher Price basketball nets and he rarely misses. He also loves reading and has developed quite a vocabulary. He’ll repeat anything you say. We’re busy preparing for Baby Petralia #2. I’m due on May 2nd and starting to feel ready. We’ll obviously send an update when the baby arrives.

50 Front Street (Tom Nealon & Family)

The 50 Front St. gang is status quo; Callie graduates 5/17 from RWU. You can follow her softball season at http://www.rwuhawks.com/ ; Jack is bearing up under the stress of being a high school senior. His mother will probably break first. He is captain of the rugby team. I will post the schedule once I receive one. Jack graduates 6/5 from HHS and he has decided on attending Westfield State in the fall; We ask everyone keep 6/6 open for a grad party for Jack; We will probably put Callie's name on the cake. MC starts little league softball this week; She is enjoying the adventures of the teenage years; school dances, boy girl parties, parents, older brothers. She contiues to shine. Andrew is working very hard and all the time. He is enjoying UMASS. Go Minutemen!!! We hope to do another football game tailgate in the fall and will let everyone know the date. Amherst in the fall is extraordinary. Patrick is working for Budget Car Rental in Milford. He is going to have surgery on his shoulder (old rugby injury), however the recovery includes no driving for 6 weeks. Slight deviation from a major part of his job description. So at this point in time the timing of the surgery is up in the air. Matt continues to work hard at Corporate Communications. He is required to travel a little bit. He is making his plans for a 6 mos. or so sabattical in CA startig sometime in August. Lastly Anne continues to captain the ship at 50 Front St. with her tremendous upbeat spirit and humor and finding time to work 4 days a week at the Hopkinton preschool where she's a most valued team member.

Greetings from Uxbridge! (Bob Nealon and family)

RJ just turned 16! Hard to believe that Gramma's first born "great" grandchild is now 16. No driving permit yet (b-day was 3/14), but it will happen (despite Jen's fears). His passion right now is music and drums. Has two drum sets, takes lessons and yes-is part of a "basement band" with a few other friends from Milford. He's doing well during sophmore year at Holy Name and has started the spring Outdoor Track season. Mary and Leslie continue to dance A LOT. Most nights of the week they are in Worcester or Hopedale or Mendon (the three dance studios that they practice at). Now that we're through the month long St. Patrick's Day irish dancing events/gigs, they will start competing at week-end competitions around New England. The dancing sometimes makes for some late nights for Jen and I and some hectic driving schedules - but we enjoy watching them perform (and most importantly-they have a blast). Mike has put away his baseball glove and has started playing Lacrosse this spring. So far, he likes it-says he likes the physical aspect of it (future rugger for sure). After 4 fun and fulfilling years of homeschooling, Mary, Mike and Leslie are returning to school in the Fall. Mary will be starting her Freshman year at Holy Name (with RJ). Mike and Leslie will go to Our Lady of the Valley School in Uxbridge for 8th and 5th grade respectively. Jen is beginning to plan her working career. Right now, she has registered to become an active substitute teacher in the Uxbridge school system and still works at Johnny Jacks restaurant in Milford a couple times a month (which she enjoys). With all 4 kids in school full-time, it will be a new world for Jen after 16 years "at home." As for me, I'm a happy camper. My job is going well. I'm a Regional Director for a technology company that serves car dealerships and credit unions. Aside from a hectic travel schedule at times, it is going well. Jen & I had a great trip to San Francisco in February. We mixed business with pleasure and were able to really enjoy a very cool city that neither of us had been to before. We are looking forward to a fun trip to New Mexico (to visit Jen's sister Amy in Santa Fe) and Arizona (the Grand Canyon) during the upcoming April school vacation week. I think it will be a real memorable "family vacation." It will also be fun because my Mom & Dad are coming with us. That's it for now from this Nealon household. Go Red Sox!
