Last weekend we thoroughly enjoyed a trip to NYC to see the Rockettes–live at Radio City Music Hall!  Well all of us but Ty enjoyed the Rockettes (actually PJ claims he didn’t enjoy them) because Patrick’s parents graciously offered to entertain him in the city so we could watch in peace.  PJ (the best big […]

And then there were none SIXTEEN!
