Carney Family Newsletter for April

Happy Mayday




Just made the deadline.....today is April 30...Ha!
Next month, May, there will be no newsletter because I will be on vacation but the June newsletter will be packed with news and pictures of my trip and graduations and a visit from Jim and Mary Ann. Speaking of Jim, here's to a very happy birthday, Jim. Also wishing Tim a great birthday, now, since there will be no May newsletter. 


Happy Birthday Jim
Heard that you had a great birthday dinner at the Iron Bridge!



Happy Birthday to Tim
Tim's birthday is May 28....we all hope you have a great day! They gave you a long weekend to celebrate this year.




My New Ride
Just leased a new Cruze 2017. This color is called Baby Blue although it looks silver.
Love my Cruze!




Let's Go Pelicans
The Mitsuoka family at a Pelicans game...minor league in Myrtle Beach



Jim's New Toy
Jim just bought a new kayak....a fishing kayak. Mary Ann is hoping that you catch a lot of fish.



Liam Plays Ball
Liam plays 2nd base for his freshmen baseball team.... to see more photos keep scrolling after the newsletter ends.

Look out South Carolina, here I come!
Can't wait to go on my vacation to Myrtle Beach. For the first week I will be staying at this villa which Amy was able to get for me (along with golf cart). The villa faces out to a lake and just beyond those trees is the ocean. Can't wait!
Feeling so bad that the nature center at Huntington Beach State Park burned to the ground. There was a bird feeding station that alway attracted the Painted Bunting. Hope to see one somewhere else in the park. Thanks to Allison for taking these photos for me.
Below:  what's left of the building :-(




Emma

Collage awaits!



Work
Do you ever feel like you do the work of 4 people at your job? Well, Amy does do 4 jobs.
Thanks, Allison for your creativity. 




TB of the Month
Back in the day......some good times!



Spring

Carney Family Newsletter March

Happy Spring
(I think)




Thank you to everyone that responded to my plea for family news!
I have a great newsletter this month...yea!

Did you know:
~ that Takeshi turned 50 Friday?
~that Sean and Mikey have already had their spring break....done and dusted
~that Allison has her first paying photography job....what to charge, what to charge?
~that Liam made the Freshmen baseball team?
~that Emma is the editor-in-chief of the Athens High school paper?
~that John is attached to his new computer by an umbilical cord?
Yes, all true (not fake) news.





Happy 50th Birthday Takeshi
 You sure don't look 50 to me. Hope that you had a great day and best wishes on this monumental birthday!





The Party boy
Mikey always seems to be having a party at the Carney house.
This is party #1


 Party #2




Emma at Work.




21 Pilots
 Allison and friend Hana in Charleston at a 21 Pilots concert.




Rain Gear
 Sean all ready to check out the big storm




Art Exhibit

 Allison was chosen to enter her photograph in an exhibit "Youth Art Month" Shown below with her art teacher.






John at His Post
 John and his new computer....I heard that he has to be fed with a feeding tube :-) because he won't leave his station.




High School Musical
 Just saw the play at Emma's school and it was wonderful and so much fun. All the kids did a great job. I posted lots of pictures.....just scroll down after the newsletter....there is even a video!




Sneaker Convention
 ...in Cleveland. Liam and friends attended this convention and it looks packed. Sneakers galore and there were shoes to buy and swap. I never knew there was such a thing but if you are into shoes (as Liam is) this was the place to be.





Throw back..........
 I am puzzling over this picture because I'm not sure where it was taken. I thought that it was a big pile of sand in the back yard in Waltz but the background looks unfamiliar. I remember Mike spending hours with his Tonka trucks (that Joe bought at Salvation Army) excavating and moving the dirt around.  This must have been the first summer after we moved in. Any ideas Mike?????




Hope springs eternal and spring will come when it's ready no matter how hard we pray


 I'm not going to SC until May this year. Very excited because Amy got me a villa at Pirateland for a week so I will be a stone's throw from the beach. Really looking forward to that.
Keep the news and pictures coming in.....I really appreciate it. Until next month.
