Update from Tom Click/Plea for Jeep Help

Hello,

I've attached an update picture of Ryan Click from May 22nd. He's doing great and keeps asking when his parents are going to take him to this "cape" place we are always telling him about. We're hoping to make our way down around the 4th of July weekend. I also wanted to chime in as well, and congradulate Liz and Ralph for pulling the trigger on the Lakeshore Drive ship of fun. I can't wait for the christening ceremony. I can see Ralph standing proud in his Captain outfit now... as we proudly watch Liz smash a bottle of Pinot over the bow.

On another note, I wanted to reach out to the Jeep owners in the family. It seems my '97 Wrangler has some corroded brake lines that need some attention. Does anyone have a mechanic we trust? According to my father-in-law, it's a pain in the neck job because we'd need a lift (which we don't have), but an easy one. Some mechanics could take advantage of a situation like this though, and considering the Jeep is not my first mode of transportation, I'm hoping to keep this a low-cost job. Do anyone have a good, trustworthy mechanic that will do a quick brakeline job without killing me?

A Salute to Liz and Ralph

I just want to take a moment to congratulate Ralph and Liz Edwards. They made a move last Saturday that will be talked and celebrated about for years to come. The pontoon boat has been purchased, however I am not at liberty to disclose the delivery time. Lakeshore Drive is now fully complete as this addition compliments the dock very well. Thank you Ralph and Liz, you are the King and Queen of Lake Maspenock in many of our eyes. -Patrick

Chris and Jeff's Graduation Party

Grady, Dylan and Brylie

Grady and Dylan are both growing fast! They weighed in at 9lbs 2oz and 9lbs 4oz this week and are now 5 weeks old! Brylie loves being a big sister and is so sweet with them. She tried to give them a raisin the other day, but has since learned they have no teeth and can only have bottles or paci's! We are actually getting some rest, with the boys sleeping between 5 and 6 hour stretches (the past 2 nights!). In the picture - Grady is on the left and Dylan on the right. Love the idea of the biggest loser - our double jogger is in so we are ready to start our diet/exercise program! Congratulations to Will on making his First Communion.

Love,
Amie, Buddy, Brylie, Grady and Dylan

Nealon Family Biggest Loser Challenge

Are you feeling ready for summer?

Dreading getting into a bathing suit on Sagamore Beach?

Let's get fit together with the
Nealon Family Biggest Loser Contest!

You can do it and win a great prize at the end!

Starting Sunday, June 1st
and ending July 31st

Let's see how much weight we can lose as a family!

If you are interested, here is what you need to do:

Email Libby at ridgleys@verizon.net (please note that this email has changed)

You do NOT need to email me your weight, but we will keep track of weight lost.

I will email some tips, recipes, words of encouragement, and times to meet to walk.

Every week, we will have a new challenge like walk three times this week or keep a food journal for the week or add 2 more glasses of water a day to drink.

I have been working with a trainer and doing something similar and the results of the group have been great!

Who is going to be our biggest loser???
