Josh's Care Package Party


Today we hosted a party to coordinate a care package to be sent to Josh in Iraq. Aimee had the perfect idea of using strips of red & green construction paper to write messages on, that could then be assembled into a Christmas paper chain to decorate Josh's room. My personal favorite was "If you think I'm cute, you should meet my COUSINS" and "Knock, Knock, whose there? Iraq. Iraq who? I "raqed" my tank!" Unfortunately, I was so busy harassing people with our new video camera, that I didn't get any good still shots to post. However, Paul and I are working on editing the video and will try to post that to the site soon. Stay tuned!
Also this week, Murphy was neutered. Hence, the fashionable cone. And, Paul and I joined Facebook, and our world has not been the same sense. I can not believe the time we have invested into that site. However, I am truly happy that I have gotten in touch with some old and dear friends, as has Paul, and I am REALLY looking forward to having lunch with my freshman year roommate, Audra. As much time as we have "wasted" poking around Facebook, to reconnect with people who have left footprints on our heart is more valuable than any amount of time or money. Here's to wishing everyone a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING. We are so thankful for our friends, family and good fortune. God bless.
PS - Vote for team names for our upcoming Ginger Bread House contest...

Explosion Outdoor Season Concludes

The Fall Explosion FC season ended today with two victorious make up games against the Scorpions C and D teams. Explosion FC held a fall record of 8-1-0. Hannah has had a blast playing with the club and making friends from neighboring towns. She particularly enjoys her carpool rides with the Foxboro girls. We have been thoroughly impressed with the caliber of play from the girls, the class and sportsmanship with which they carry themselves and the quality coaching that is devoted to them by their three coaches. We are looking forward to the indoor season. All indoor games will be at the Mansfield Sports Complex. The first indoor game will be 12/7, time TBD.


We also shared a festive evening at Heather and Andy's house this weekend celebrating Andy's 30th Birthday. It was a really good time and we enjoyed the QT with family. Happy Birthday Andy!

Sun Chronicle

I just thought that everyone who voted for my sister Kaitlin as MVP and who knows our family, might enjoy this article that ran in the local paper; The Sun Chronicle. Click the link and check it out. We are so blessed with a loving supportive family that is always here when you need them. I too have realized the selfless generosity of my family and I don't know where I would be without their support of my husband, my children and myself.

Wrentham WRottweilers Season Ends...

We had a nice visit with Uncle Ian, Auntie Jessie and Chaselyn today. They came to watch Hannah's final Wrentham Travel game for the fall season. The WRottweilers ended the season victorious 4-0 vs. Arlington to finish third in Division 1 Bays. The season record was 5-4-1. Hannah put a little extra hustle out on the field just for her Aunt, Uncle and cousin and rounded out the season with a strong game. Hannah will continue her soccer this winter indoors with Explosion FC and at Fore Kicks with the Wrentham WRockstars. Below is a picture of Hannah on the sidelines today with Amanda Loewen and Hannah Favreau.
