Megan is offically a teenager.........God help us! Meg's birthday was in December and she had all her BFF's over for Twlight games, food and a sleep over. Aunt Jessica made an incredible Twilight themed cake that I hated to cut into because it looked so beautiful!

McCarter Theater Musical Theater Performers

Having most recently had a part opposite Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell in some film on the West Coast, Megan Crowley continues her theaterical career having attended a musical theater camp this summer at the McCarter Theater at Pinceton University. These are pictures from her final performance. She worked hard for two weeks preparing for this. Songs included "Xanadu", "Fame" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." It was an absolute Tour De Force. Megan is rumored to be on the short list for a Tony Award this year. The diva on wheels continues to amaze...and inspire.

Everyone stood for the concert and this was Megan's view from the handicap section..........BIG view...nice!

Haley and Megan dancing together...........What a great night!

In late July, I took Megan and her BFF's to a Jonas Brothers concert! She adores them and had been looking forward to this for some time. Her ticket brokers (a/k/a Daddy and his executive assistant!) got us the tix. When you need a handicapped accessible seat it's always potluck. In our experience you usually get either the best views or the most distant ones. At the Wachovia center in Philly, the seats were way at the tippy top. (As we got in our seats, I helped Megan wipe her nose- she wasn't feeling 100% great. She comented that she was suprised it was not blood given the altitude. Wise ass). In any event, the concert was awesome (for them). This was total generational payback...I remember my Dad taking me to a Donny & Marie concert. Sweet. Megs, of course, wants to have a personal audience with the Jonas Brothers. She said, "we'll wait until next year when my movie comes out. Then they'll call me...!" So shy, she is...and humble.

Family Reunion

Megan and Nancy

Renae and Patrick

Nancy and John

Growing up as a kid I always looked forward to the first Saturday after the 4th of July............ no matter where we l lived we headed to Scranton, Pa for our family reunion.....Yes Scranton! Both my parents grew up in Scranton and although it's not the best destination for a family vacation we love it. The saying......."It's not where you are it's who you're with!" says it all. This year we had three generations of families and over one hundred "cousins" attend the 30th Reunion. Gotta love family!

Patrick and some friends


Uncle Marty, Mom, Nana and Poppy


Patrick and his buddies


The Crowleys have been a part of Princeton's Johnson Park Elementary School for seven...........Yes seven years! Last week Patrick finished 5th grade and took part in the 5th grade "Moiving On Ceremony". Johnson Park is a wonderful school and the teachers and staff went above and beyond for our kids!

Last Days of Filming

John and I were in Oregon last week for the last two days of the filming for the movie. It's so hard to believe it's over already........ what a unbelievable experience! It was great when we took the kids but for John and I to go alone together and fully pay attention to everything that we saw is indescribable.......not to mention it was like a mini vacation! The last two days were filmed at the Oregon coast. The scenes were eerily similar to our Ocean City vacation in 2002! What a wonderful way to wrap up filming. The whole cast and crew were both thrilled for the long days to be coming to an end (everyone was just awesomely dedicated to this project) and also somewhat nostalgic with all of the memories of the past 12 weeks. Now on to editing and then the opening nationwide in April (2010). I'll keep everyone up to date on the myriad of PR and related activities that will lead up to the premieres early next Spring!

Police Memorial Ceremony

As many of you know, John's Dad was an Englewood, New Jersey police officer who died on duty in 1975- John was 7 years old, his brother Joe was 4. Every year in mid-May there is a wonderful ceremony to remember all the officers and federal agents in Bergen County New Jersey who have died on duty over the years (39 total over 89 years). Today, John and I attended this annual memorial ceremony along with John's family members who could be there. It was a hour long ceremony with hundreds of police and law enforcement officers present and a number of family members of the officers. The Crowley family always is there (34 years running now...) and always seems to have the largest family contingent. Thought you would enjoy this slideshow from the memorial.
