These are the days

These are the days.

Family Photo 2007

These are days you'll remember.

Never before and never since, I promise, will the whole world be warm as this.

And as you feel it, you'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky.

It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.



These are days you'll remember.

When May is rushing over you with desire to be part of the miracles you see in

every hour.

You'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky.

It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.



These are days.



These are the days you might fill with laughter until you break.

These days you might feel a shaft of light make its way across your face.

And when you do you'll know how it was meant to be.

See the signs and know their meaning.

It's true, you'll know how it was meant to be.

Hear the signs and know they're speaking to you, to you.

Summer Run 2010

We had 110 people on our team and our donations are still coming in. It looks like TEAM SUSSEX will be donating almost $8000.00 to the Marsha Rivkin Center for ovarian cancer research.

Thanks Jim Carden for the great photos!










Mom's Summer Run and After Party







Yesterday was moms 4th annual ovarian cancer summer run. It was a success! The weather was perfect, and everyone had a great time. The race started at 8am- and Team Sussex gathered together before the start to put teal ribbons in our hair, our hats on, and take a few pictures. There were 101 people on the team this year!! We had the second biggest team at the event. Every year our good friend, Jim Carden takes great photos of our team before, during and after the event. I will see if I can get some of his pictures to post..

Another tradition is our annual after party.  This year we had a great turn out for the BBQ after party.  Its amazing how many great friends mom has.  Everyone had a good time- and the food was amazing!

Yanny and Yazzo



"Yanny" and "Yazzo" are the names Dan's parents have chosen for Dyllan to call them.  Yanny comes from the Duch derivative Yan Cha, or young one.  Yazzo is a form of Loz, which is short for Laurence. 

Yanny and Yazzo- and Lionel, Dan's youngest brother-  came to visit us, and see Dyllan for the first time a few weeks ago.  They arrived June 28 and stayed till July 14.  We all had a blast with the Newton side in town.  We had the calendar jam packed for two solid weeks, and had an absolute blast!  We did the Duck tour, went to Experience Music Project (EMP), went sailing on my uncle Robin and aunt Karen's boat, did plenty of wake boarding and surfing, walked up to Starbucks daily, went for a plane ride in my uncle Tod's plane, visited snoqualmie falls, kayaked in the back yard, went wine tasting, visited my Aunt Elaine and Uncle Bill up in Blaine,  Dan and Lionel even found time (and energy) to climb Mt. Rainier and ski/snowboard down.  All in all, it was a fun few weeks spent with great family.  We cant wait to have the Newton's come visit again!
