Adventure With The J Drakes

It had been 3 years since my last tattoo so I ask @brettburnham for a portrait of @jessicaraydrake and I. She is the Linda to my Bob. #bobsburgers #thejdrakes #mywhy #tattoo #tattoos (at Chapterhouse Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqWh62PrOE9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So proud of my oldest son Jameson! Tonight he passed his board of review to earn the Rank of Eagle. As an Eagle Scout of the Class of 2000, l never thought 23 years later I would get to celebrate my son earning Eagle. But I am proud of all he has accomplished and the well rounded leader he has become. #scouting #eaglescout #mywhy https://www.instagram.com/p/CpwSoeosBSr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This weekend Troop 419 and 419.0 visited Gettysburg National Battlefield to work on Citizenship in the Nation and learning about the Civil War. #scouting #troop419 (at Devil's Den) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqWxvXrdei/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Always great to see our scouts rising to the challenge and successfully tackling our 2023 cooking competition. The scouts already asked to come back again next year. #troop419 #mywhy #youthdevelopment #campcooking (at Camp Tuckahoe) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnfa5-POtVi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The final step of Jameson’s Eagle Project has been completed, the 124 packages for the children of Dandora are marked to ship to Kenya and @servantforge . Now he wraps up his paperwork and does his scoutmaster conference this evening. Thanks to all the volunteers that helped make this happen! #eaglebound #scouting #helpingothers (at Carney, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6_w_8OmCb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jameson has finally collected all the Merit Badges he needs for Eagle Scout. He only has an Eagle Project to complete and turn in all his required paperwork before Scout HQ closes down for Christmas Break. #scouting #troop124 #scoutdad https://www.instagram.com/p/Clpo6RIsiaB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Eagle Project Update from Jameson: Thanks to the generosity of friends and family I have managed to gather all the items to put together the care packages for the children of Dandora. I now need to lead scouts to build 124+ care kits to ship to @servantforge in Kenya. If you are free of on Sunday, Dec 4th from 5-7pm I will be putting together the kits at St. Michael’s of Overlea. Please contact me if you would like to lend a hand or need directions. I also could still use your financial support with shipping costs to get the kits to Kenya. #scouting #helpingothers #eagleproject https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=TZC9N8L4LRAD6 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cle86shLuhk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Due to a new driver incident in the family this week, it pushed us to replace Jessica’s 2017 Toyota Sienna with a new 2022 Toyota Highlander. Decided we should recreate a 20 year old photo with her from our thanksgiving trip to England when we were not even dating yet. Jackson asked if it that was mom’s first car. #teamdrake #cargirl #mywhy (at Bill Kidd's Timonium Toyota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkjO75kOHA_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You know it’s a fun weekend when your face hurts from smiling, stomach hurts from laughing, and your camera roll is light because you were having too much fun. #scouting #NYLT #brownsea #webeloscamporee #leadershipdevelopment #camping (at Broad Creek Scout Reservation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkGSEZyryxm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Honored to serve as the Scoutmaster for Troop 419. This past weekend we had our court of honor to hand out awards earned since the spring including rank advancements, merit badges and special recognitions. What a great group of scouts and leaders learning character development, leadership, citizenship, and personal fitness. #scouting #mywhy #troop419 #troop4190 (at St Michael The Archangel School) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj5RLuJLJRV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In case you were worried there are still many animals out the office window. #officeview #naturephotography https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj3mhpJuLLx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My coworkers are so peaceful until a fox, deer, groundhog, or bunny walk past the office window. #labsofinstagram #officemates #doglife #madeline #mumford https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj3lO4-uFa6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
