Since the year is coming to an end and everything...I figured now was as good a time as any to talk about the stuff we did at the end of this year.
October
The Pups started tennis lessons. The Elder loved it. The younger, not so much.
We did our annual trip to Holmberg's Orchards to pick apples.
We also went to Rhinebeck, New York for the Sheep and Wool Festival. Good times.
They both started piano lessons with a musician who plays violin and viola for the local orchestra. They like it lots.
The kids were ghosts for Halloween. Pup 1.0 didn't want to dress up at all until he realized that no costumery meant no trick-or-treating. Then he co-opted 2.0's great plan. A ghost.
Yeah, I don't know either. Turns out, it didn't matter because hurrican Sandy canceled Halloween in our town and we had no power for a few days.
We lost two trees, but ultimately, we didn't have much to complain about.
Soccer.
November
I had a rare books conference to attend in Philadelphia so the whole family went down for a few days. Fun times.
Thanksgiving was quiet. Just us at home.
December
Seal Pup the younger had a birthday.
We got a Christmas tree.
And we celebrated Christmas with gifts and such; but there was also church and the singing.
Oh, and there was a snow storm two days ago. There's still a bunch of snow on the ground.
There. All caught up. See you next year!
