In love again... :)

Baby Drew Gorman has arrived! And it hasn't taken long for all the Smitty's to fall in love with this little guy :) Here are a few photos from our lunch visit today...





Drew will one day join the rest of the kids in their goofy photos!

and Soccer begins...

And Ryan lost his 4th tooth yesterday. He has a toothless grin!

Labor Day Weekend

Yesterday, we enjoyed a beautiful day at my in-laws. Back in February, my father-in-law won a special meal at an auction. The meal was to be prepared by two chefs in their own home with a menu of their choice. One of the chefs just happened to be my stepdad, Joe. So... it turned into a family gathering! The meal was delicious - unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the food - crab dip served on crustini bread, shrimp cocktail, blue cheese wedge salad, filet served with a homemade bearnaise sauce, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and seasoned asparagus. YUM!!!

While prepping the food, the chefs had a small mishap with the sinks dish disposal. Yes, that is a plunger in the sink. All was well about 2 hours after dinner when a friend of the chefs (a plumber) came to fix the problem. I'm sad to say that I missed dessert - mixed berries over vanilla ice cream.

On Sunday, Scott went with the boys and I to the Orioles game. It was a pleasure to see a game where the O's actually won!
