Happy New Year, and Cheers to the Year Ahead!

From our home to yours, Happy New Year!!!

We rang in 2014 at home last night, just the four of us, with an EPIC sing-a-long and dance party! Our playlist included: Don't Stop Believin', Chicken Fried, Step It Out Mary, Life is a Highway, Where is the Love?, Toes, Ain't Nobody Got Time for That, and Party in the USA. It was such a fun night, complete with some neighborhood fireworks! We celebrated Irish New Year at 6pm and PA New Year at 11pm before the kids called it a night. Then Martin and I rang in 2014 at Midnight Texas time, ready to embrace the next year of our lives together. 2013 was quite a year, and we can't wait to see what's in store for us in 2014! Bring. It. On. 

We wish you all the best in the year ahead! Cheers to focusing on what matters most and making your dreams come true!

Merry Christmas from Team Fogarty!!!

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

The 12 Days of Christmas: May 2013

Today we continue Team Fogarty's 12 Days of Christmas, highlighting our top memories of 2013, with the amazing month of May!

May was a month for the record books, as we celebrated Mother's Day and Amber and Grace's birthdays, had the final t-ball game of the spring, enjoyed Grace's Kindergarten Graduation, and set off on our journey to Ireland with a stop in Philly on the way! Reuniting with our precious family made this month one we will always cherish!
