1st Day of School!

Zachary had his first day of preschool on September 6. He is in his second year at the preschool level and joined 14 other 4-year-olds in Mrs. Vitolo's and Mrs. De Fillipo's class. He is amongst the first class to start at the brand new Gregory School. This school houses preschool (4 year old) to 5th grade. If he stays at this school, his will be the first class to go all the way through from preschool until they switch to the middle school....

Baby Ruth gets married!

On a beautiful, sunny, and not too warm Saturday, the 18th of August to be exact, Ruth Connors married Patrick Richter!

Ruth looked absolutely gorgeous... the gown, the hair, the veil, the jewelry... everything was incredible. Patrick looked pretty nice too ;-)

The ceremony was held at our childhood church, St. Peter's in Port Washington, just a short block from the house we grew up in. There were many beautiful bridesmaid (inlcuding myself) and handsome groomsmen (including Tom and Matthew) and two very adorable ring bearers! All the parents of the bride and groom also looked pretty amazing...

The reception was held at the Swan Club near Glen Clove. The food was delicious, the band kept the dance floor packed, and everyone had a fantastic time. There was even a surprise for Patrick under the gown - a Gators garter belt! The party there lasted until midnight and those of us who were not quite done celebrating headed over to the Poco Loco...

All in all, a wonderful and incredibly fun day!

Welcome!

Welcome to the FitzGerald Family blog! In an effort to stay in better contact with all our friends and family, we created this blog. We will do our best to update it periodically with events in our life, fun pictures, amusing antecdotes, and perhaps even some yummy recipes.

It is September 16, 2007.

Tom, recently 34, enjoys his work at CommVault Systems where he not only works as a contracts attorney but also stars (sort of) on their championship softball team. Tom continues to have faith in our good old Irish football team who are not faring well this season.

Elizabeth, 29 again this summer, still enjoys the exhausting job of full time mom to two very busy boys. She is also working part time with an NYC law firm performing transcription work.

Zachary, 4 in May, has just begun his second year of pre-school attending the Long Branch public school, Gregory. After only a week and a half, he is back in the swing of things, likes his teacher, and is making new friends. This year, he will also begin learning Spanish. Tom and I are hoping he can teach us.

Benjamin, turning 2 in November, continues to run circles around his mother. A very curious boy, Ben is into everything and things are frequently disappearing around here including a few bills, a cell phone, and a diamond necklace. He is either selling these items on eBay or has them hidden under a loose floorboard! Despite these antics, our family would not be complete without this little "diablo" and we love him dearly..

Norman, ahhh Norman... is that enough? Norm is 6 but thinks he is still a puppy. We are waiting for him to calm down... waiting and waiting and waiting....
