Jacob & Mary Ellen spent the day at New York City in Manhattan while Pat & Keven went to a Yankees game.

Time Square Toys R Us

 
 
 
 

Jacob and Mary Ellen at the 4 level Toys R Us at Time Square in NYC. We rode the Indoor Ferris Wheel. Thank goodness we were put in the Nickelodeon Car. Jacob would have hated life if he was put in the Barbie Convertable. It is an incredible store and Jacob went nuts in the Legos Section. The T-Rex actually moves and Roars. Funny watching the little kids scream.

Autobiography of Jacob Bowman

"I was born in the Arlington Hospital on December 8, 1998. I live in Clifton, VA.
I like to go swimming and play baseball. I am interested in playing basketball.
When I grow up I want to be a part-time scientist, a part-time architect, and a part-time archeologist."

Jacob's First Holy Communion

Jacob first received Our Lord in the Eucharist Saturday May 5th, 2007.
It was a special day. We had a party at the house afterwards.

Virginia Tech Tragedy

 
It was a very sad week in our home after the tragedy at Virginia Tech. We did not know any of the victims personall but Pat was still very upset. He decided to share his grief with the neighborhood by writing this on our driveway. Some anonymous people even left flowers.

Easter 2007

 
 

Lego Liberty Bell

 
We saw this at the Philly Airport. The Liberty Bell, made completely of Legos. Jacob was mostly impressed.

Hershey Chocolate World

For Rachel's 4th Birthday, her Mommy & Daddy took her to Hershey's Chocolate World. We stayed overnight in a Hotel in Harrisburg. She loved it and obviously had tons of fun. Aunt Sherri was nice enough to watch Jacob & Ally. Also got to taste lots of Chocolate. YUM!
