That was enough

of a threat for me to write something. I finally took a picture to post it up here and now I can't figure out how to do that, and I am pretty computer saavy. Anyways, living in Washington, DC. Waiting for Adam and family to move back before I think about relocating. I work for Marriott in their corporate headquarters in Bethesda, MD. I am in the tax department doing international tax planning and compliance. Its interesting, but not that interesting.

Come on!

Do I have to search through old photos of all of you and threaten to post them if you don't start talking? How about some High School photos, only kidding.
So fall is here and the kids are back to school. Becky had to get a new teacher since the FBI arrested the the one she had for child pornography on his home computer. That made for an interesting start for the school year. It was more terrifying for me than her, she didn't like him anyway. I also went to back to school night and found out why my mother stopped going to those things. I am so happy that parent teacher conferences are Steve's responsibility.
Since none of my sisters are logged on yet, I would like to brag about my oldest niece, Jane's daughter Jackie, is writing for a Boston newspaper here is the link to the article:

We are very proud of her.

The Chaikin Girls in London

So this is what it is all about... sharing the photos and getting caught up. Hannah (5), Abigail 3, in front of our home in London. We've been here since April 2006 while on assignment for BT.

It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that we couldn't pass up. Now, hard to believe we need to think about coming back to the USA soon. We have six months left before we come home.

And I didn't even have to nag you to do it!!

David, you are so funny! I almost fell off my computer chair when you mentioned the Camaro. I think this is pretty cool. I know this is dumb but forgive my lack of blogging skills but do you need to send the invite? If so I have all my sisters, of course, Lauren Figman's and Dawn's email. Did you know that Scott Figman was on a MTV Reality show epsisode of Run's House? See a little Kenmore trivia.

The picture is of my husband, Steve, and my two awesome girls, Becky (8) and Jaime (4). We were in Saratoga Springs, NY for lunch.

I am looking foward to hearing all the wonderful things that are going on with everyone. Thank you Adam! Maureen Trudeau says hi! She had her first baby girl 3 weeks ago.

Hello from David

Ad, thanks for setting this up. Have you sent out any more invites? All I have are Sal's and Chrissy's email addresses. I know you wanted to add Frank Carbone, but he is too busy washing his Camaro...

Here is a recent photo of Jen and I. It is right before we went out for our 7th Anniversary.

The online era begins...

So Chrissy put forth the challenge and here is the answer. An online spot where we can share news and information about where we've been since those days of skully and junk.
