Rocchi Randomness or Random Rocchiness?

Couldn't quite decide between the two blog titles...so I decided to use them both! 

Much to share -- the biggest piece of news is we have made an entire month illness free (this sentence is being followed by some major knocking of wood).  We now realize that everyone who told us last year when we were going to the doctor/ER literally every other week to just hang in there and it will get better weren't just trying to make us feel better.  They were telling the truth!

Let's get started with the Rocchi Randomness/Random Rocchiness!!

A few weekends ago we built our first lean-to.  I have many memories of doing this with my cousin Colleen when we were young out in my grandfather's woods. 

Doing some minor adjustments...

Of course Allie was in the lean-to with Cameron but left to get a string cheese when I ran into the house for the camera.  I did however catch these super cute kisses.

Fast forward a few days to bike riding....  Cameron has been getting VERY frustrated with his inability to pedal a bike.  Something clicked on this day and he was a speed machine!  Allie quickly followed suit.

No frustration today...just PURE FUN!

Cameron is always willing to give a helping hand when needed....or not needed!

Dig deep!!!

We are an equal opportunity household.

My friend Catherine is also an avid blogger and I need to steal the following quote from "Peter Pan" that she used earlier in the week with her son....it is so fitting for this picture.  "I am joy, I am youth, I am freedom!"

Loving the beginning of year two in our new home.  One lesson we have learned is to KEEP UP WITH THE LEAVES!

Fast forward to this weekend!  I was busy with again judging the Bradford/Sullivan Counties Outstanding Young Woman Scholarship Program.  This is my fifth year serving as a judge and I truly love it.  Being able to spend a day with young women who are seniors in high school is like a breath of fresh air.  They were all funny, passionate, and ready to take on the world.  It is also the third year that my dad and I have awarded the Sue Stanton Community Service Award to one of the OYW finalists.  This year, a young lady from LeRaysville won the award.  I was thinking during the interview that she very much reminded me of myself when I was in high school.

 While I was busy with OYW, Mike, Gammy and the twinjas headed to Celtic Classic in Bethlehem.  Much fun was had!

 Little bit of fun in Poppy's corvette...

 I love their stinky feet....

 Remember I mentioned that we had learned our lesson in keeping up with the leaves?  Yup....we've got a lot of 'em!

 And finally we had a fantastic time hanging with our friends, the Kircher's!

Happy Fall from the Rocc Flock!
