First Snow

One year ago today, we were on the Epic cruise ship. Today we had our first winter snow, and I crunched my car with a sliding skid. Quinn played at the Xl center today with his team. The game was great, although Q didn't p,ay well. I think he was starstruck.

We finally had a good week for the ice rink, and Add,Elisa, James,Quin, Nick, Mei, and me al had fun skating. Mei is doing amazingly well with her skating...she is so coordinated, and so tenacious. She would be a great hockey player.

Our new pellet stove is making January much more tolerable...it's easy to go out to shovel pr walk Buster when you know that cosy fire is waiting. Buster loves the snow...I've been letting him loose fornhis figure 8 laps in the front yard.

happy new year!

2012 got off to a fun start thanks to Quinn's invitation to play on the ice at Fenway with his Mite A team. The weather was perfect, and we enjoyed staying over in Boston with a few hockey families. Dinner for all15 of us was at Fire and Ice...fun, but Matt and I both had expected something a little better. And the night before on New Year's eve, we had dinner with the Anastasios after an exciting Ct Whale game. We got some interesting looks as we walked into Max Downtown with the three boys and their foam fingers and Whale shirts. Once we were seated everything was fine, and there was even a kid's menu.
