Why didn't I do this before?

Our first winter trip to Puerto Rico. Not the last!!

Thanksgiving

Better late than never! Here we are enjoying a beautiful Thanksgiving day in New York City. We went to see the parade, we played in Central Park, and we had dinner at a restaurant. No cooking! No cleaning! Leftovers! It was a great day

Piano recital

Graham's piano teacher held an informal recital today. He really nailed "When the Saints Go Marching In" which he has been woking on for quite some time.

3rd grade

Today was the first day of 3rd grade. The enthusiasm is palpable. Its the end of morning TV, swimming every day, mid-week sleepovers, staying up late, after dinner bike rides that end up at the ice-cream shop. OK, I'm a little sad too.

Goodman at the plate

Graham is on the Beacon All-Star team. They began their tournament on Saturday with a rainy double header. The weather did not say "summertime" but the boys played their hearts out.
