This National Guardsman is still teaching his Fairfax County students while protecting Washington DC. “Some kids are shocked at the uniform but we talk through it”
Not the update I wanted to give. Sadly, dad didn’t make it. While he won’t be with us for Christmas he’ll be able to spend it with mom. It’s comforting to know they only had to spend 7 months apart after 60 years together. We love and miss them both very much ❤️
Update! Ethan has been found! A postal worker located him while driving along I-95 half a mile away and spotted the boy curled up in a ball - may have mild hypothermia but expected to recover
My dad‘s been taking care of my mom 24/7. He lives near the beach but hadn’t been in 2 years. This week I said get in the car and drove him there for a few hours. He said it was the best day he’s had in awhile. For me too.

Very DC conversation to start my day. Elevator door opens:
Me: Guess I'm not the only one up early
Him: Busy week right? Where do you work?
Me: Fox5 you?
Him: Secret Service
Me: Good luck
Him: Good luck

All by myself in studio as we are able to have more people work remotely. That means no studio crew, I’m handling traffic reports and running prompter for Allison, Holly and Erin at home. It’s all about safety, social distancing and keeping you informed

There are NO protestors in DC this morning. These heavily armed “federal forces” assembled in formation between 515-530am when there also were no prostestors in DC. They are currently “protecting” empty streets

I took a week off. Went to the beach. Looked at 0 work emails. Slept 8+ hours a night. (Mostly) stayed off social media. Had 0 headaches. Lost 4.5 lbs. Lowered my blood pressure 20+ points. Don’t be afraid to give your mind and body a rest
Can confirm another bear sighting in/near DC at Theodore Roosevelt Island (appropriate for the namesake of the Teddy Bear) across the Potomac from the Georgetown Waterfront. Island temporarily closed as trapping activity continues
18 years ago today was my 1st day at Fox 5. Coming from Pittsburgh I was promised it rarely snows in DC so of course one of my first stories was this...
From the heart - I’ve heard from so many amazing viewers, friends, even members of Congress and pro sports team owners. I can’t thank you enough. Dad would be so proud. I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas. You’ve made mine so incredibly memorable ❤️🎄

Apologies for all the posts I’m just in shock. I took these pics truly believing Dwayne Haskins was on the verge of an incredible comeback story - just so tragic and prayers to all 💔

This hits hard. I just talked with Hyattsville Mayor Kevin Ward last Monday and shared a laugh about having him do the weather for us. Sending prayers to his family and everyone in Hyattsville this evening 🙏
