Rugrat is 21!!!

Yep, you read that right. Hope you were sitting down.  As of today, EVERYONE in the Fox Fam can go out and legally drink together…. Rugrat is 21!! This is a bit beyond crazy, I tell ya. As the occasion calls for a moment of reflection, I’ve actually had a more than a couple over…

Chasing Squirrels in Heaven

I know I’m totally inconsistent with posting here at cfoxontherun – sometimes I have too much to say, sometimes not enough to say. Sometimes I’m waiting for the right picture, or I just can’t bear the thought of getting on the computer again after being in front of one all. day. long. And sometimes it’s…

Munchkin’s Visit Part II

Tuesday night we went to our first show on Broadway! I met a woman in West Elm who told me she’d just seen Annie and loved it, so we went with that. The lobby was quite small, but your could take food and drinks into the theater (much different than the 5th Ave back home) and…

Two Down, None to Go

Rugrat is DONE with high school! She graduated earlier this month and will be off to college in August. I seriously cannot believe that both of my nieces are high school graduates! The graduation ceremony was not bad, thanks in large part to her super fabulous principal. He was a staunch supporter of girls sports and gave…

Lasts

With Rugrat’s impending graduation this year, and especially this past month, has been full of “lasts.” Last basketball game, last softball game, last prom. It’s sad, because I know that this is the end of an incredibly wonderful time where I have been so blessed to have two nieces who are such an abundant part…

Wild & Wooly West Virginia

Officially it’s “Wild & Wonderful West Virginia” but we were welcomed to “Wild & Wooly West Virginia” by the wrestling coach and I like that one better so that’s what I’m going with. Last month Mom and I made the trip to West V to check out Munchkin’s new home-away-from-home and catch a few of…

Champs!

Whoa, am I overdue on this one. But at least it’s good news… Four years in the making, Rugrat’s team finally won the district championship! It was definitely a good day, especially since we beat the team that has always knocked us out in the past. A couple of weeks later they followed up with…

OMG Munchkin is 21

Where in the world did the time go? My niece, my little Munchkin, can legally buy and consume alcohol. She’s 21. Twenty-one. I think most of you remember this little girl who made the funny faces? Well she still makes funny faces – some things don’t change, thank goodness! She’s grown into a beautiful young…

Leavin’ on a Jet Plane

Munchkin left tonight to start her adventure on the other side of the country – she’s going to school in West Virginia! Her packing strategy was different than mine would have been (one suitcase was filled entirely with shoes) but what works for one does not necessarily work for another. Lol. She’s flying to D.C.…

Uncle Joe’s Birthday

My mom is one of eight siblings – four boys and four girls. As each of them turns 50, the brothers and sisters mark the occasion with a gift and/or dinner. The most recent inductee to the club was my Uncle Joe, and what he wanted for his birthday was for us all to go…
