Sledding fun...

It snowed on Sunday and we have been sledding on that snow for 5 days! Evan, the adrenaline junkie, loves it! Here's a great video that Chris shot coming down the hill in South Windsor. Can you say "Wipeout"?

Meagan's first band concert

Meagan had her first concert with the Collins Band on December 8th. She plays the clarinet. She did so great and I was impressed with how good the band sounded! Here's a snippit from rehearsal.

Christmas card

Here's our Christmas Card picture of the kids. I finally get a shot in 2 frames and we don't have the time to get cards out this year. Figures.

3rd Grade Program - Gamelan

Evan was having a tough day when the 3rd graders had their music program and Open House. He managed to pull through. He did great with the xylophone. It was the before and after that he wanted nothing to do with!

Halloween 09

We had a great Halloween. We went to a party at The Davis' house first and then trick or treated our way back home. Evan smashed his previous record (of 1 house) by trick or treating all the way home! It was so exciting. He even delivered one of our favorite lines from It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. He got his candy from a house and then said, "Can I have an extra piece of candy for my stupid brother." It's the line Lucy says because Linus is sitting in the most sincere pumpkin patch missing out on all the candy!

before and after

Our lovely Goldendoodle Romeo.

A great day for Evan :)

Evan's teachers were so excited to show me Evan's score on his math test today. He got an 86! This was the same test that his regular ed. classmates took on place values. We are so proud of Evan! I'm also including a picture from his latest spelling test.
