Divorce and remarriage has been good to the McAlevey boys.
Now they even gets gifts from their step grandparents!

A photo of Sean and Dwyane Wade that we had signed and finally framed!

Other gifts included a book, dvd, electric razor and payment of a

car insurance bill which could feed a small country.

Party of Six

This past week was spring break and the boys had some friends over. It was our first group of six in our new dining room.

4 boys, 2 adults, 8 lbs of chicken. This is what was left:

Can someone put some fat on this kid?

Green thumb

Since we moved to a house with a yard Peter has taken up gardening again. He is still in the process of killing weeds in our backyard but has done some great work in the front. Here are some photos but please note home depot was out of stock on the hedge trimmer so he hasn't done that yet!

Just one of the boys

Can someone explain to Peter that when there are several teenagers in our house they do NOT want to be hanging around with Dad...although in his defense they do say he's a "beast" (which is a very good thing).

Christmas Day

We spent the day with our friends Chris and Monica this year. Here are some photos. You can see the the McAlevey's got along really well with the dogs!
