Hockey update

Michael's Huskies team skated to a 2-2 tie last weekend. Today they lost 4-1 at home and 7-3 in Wolfeboro, NH, in which Michael scored 2 goals.

Irish Dancing

Emily started Irish Step Dancing yesterday. She loved it. Of all her after school activities, she said it's now her favorite one. And that's saying a lot: she is now doing dance, chorus, cheering, and Brownies (field hockey is over).

Painting

We managed to find time to paint the living room 2 weekends ago. Emily was a huge help painting in some tight areas. It looks like a harsh green, but somehow it works. Chris has done it again!

Hockey

Michael had his first travel hockey game yesterday. They tied 2-2 against New Hampshire East at a home game here in Gorham. He is playing on the Huskies Youth Hockey travel team and the Gorham Middle School team. With a combined 4 practices per week and 2-4 games per weekend from now until March, we are just beginning what will be a very long season.

Fall Baseball

Michael enjoyed playing fall baseball this year. With a chill in the air and color in the trees it got us into the baseball mood just in time for more Red Sox playoff drama.

Fall Foliage

We have had a brilliant foliage season this year. The maples have turned and are falling. The oaks lag behind and are just starting to change color. I'm sure they will hold onto their leaves until just before it snows, making for a big mess.

This maple tree in my side yard always turns bright orange and really stands out against the dark green oak background.

Celtics

Taking in some preseason Celtics action.

New Office

Chris is excited about her new office. It goes along with her new job (actually she's had the new job for a few months now). She is now Senior Director of Sales for Olympia Hotel Management, the company that owns the Hilton Garden Inn where she was the Director of Sales. She is now responsible for overseeing sales and marketing at all 14 of their hotels.
