Jenn Incoming and Outgoing!
As you may already know, our beloved Jenn Kovalski is having her second child in November. She, John and her almost 2-year-old daughter Tessa eagerly await the arrival of #2. There is a possibility that this new child will be born on the birthday of her older sister, Tessa. Only time will tell. Effective the…
Dante Coppola, CFP®!!
I did it! I have climbed the mountain and achieved the pinnacle of my profession. I’m referring to me acquiring the Certified Financial Planner™ designation, of course. My CFP® path took almost four months of intense studying, two whole years of educational courses, course exams, and a comprehensive project, but I finally passed the CFP…
And Then There Were 7
A little over 5 years ago, I wrote to you with excitement about expecting our first grandchild. Everything about that has been exciting including today’s first day of kindergarten. And while she was growing, she had the pleasure of witnessing the birth of two brothers and four cousins. For those good at math, yes, that…
Welcome Michele!
Welcome Michele! Without further ado … drum roll please … Say hello to the newest member of the team, Michele Schulz! Most of you know by now that Jenn is expecting her second child soon and her plan is to take maternity leave until Spring 2024. In order to continue our high level of service…
Best Meal Out
Ashley and I had the joy of being able to go on a date without our two kids this past Wednesday. We have been trying to get to a specific restaurant for over two years, but reservations were hard to come by and our time was limited to be able to sneak out. Alas –…
Middle School Sports Hero
Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! A common daydream of the not-so developed mind of a teenage boy is that of being the hero of a game. Walk-off home run, buzzer-beating 3-pointer, overtime goal – the list goes on and on. The play is made, the referee confirms the glorious moment, and you are hoisted on the backs…
The Birthday Dash
It feels like most families have this – you have a stretch of birthdays/celebrations within a few weeks time that feels like a marathon of food, cake, and gatherings. On my side of the family, that is the month of October. But on my wife’s side, that is the end of July into early August,…
The Dog Days Of Summer
We’re halfway there… it surprises me every time, but August 1st has come and gone. My family has managed to pack a lot of fun in thus far – and there’s no slowdown in sight! I will admit, the weather has been a bit odd. Rain, or at least its forecast, has been a damper;…
Quiet Summer
Where does the summer go!? This month of July seemingly has flown by, and get this folks, I have not been to the beach yet once! Sadly, my beloved days at the beach have been dictated by the constant (incorrectly predicted) rain in New England and Tessa’s stringent nap schedule. Beach days have been replaced…
A Great Day For Sportsmanship
Last Sunday here on the Irish Riviera (one nickname for Scituate, MA) was not a great day for outdoor activities. The day was a complete washout reminiscent of South Florida style storms complete with thunder and lightning. Frequently on days like this, I have a saying that it is “a great day for indoor sports”….
