Basketball

Saylor has started a basketball program with Park and Rec department and she is having a ton of fun. The entire games was a hoot! As usual, the team has a great coach is a wonderful teacher and very positive. Saylor had the chance to play the "point" position in the game and, typically, she took the job very seriously and literally. She never left her spot on the gym floor regardless of the game dynamic because she follows rules. We really enjoyed the game and look forward to future games.

Still Flying High

Family

I got a wonderful email from my Aunt Virgina yesterday in response to my blog. I wanted to include a picture that she sent me from this past Christmas. Maybe you can guess which one she is, we do resemble each other. If you need a clue let me know,

YAHHHH!

Ok, we all know what an exciting day November 4th was but today seems almost better. I am watching all of the coverage of the Inauguration in Washington DC and am filled with hope. This is a day in history that we will never forget! in a small tribute, my two excited kids wore special shirts to school. I was greeted this morning with "Happy Inaguration Day"! Yeah, we have definately brain washed our kids. I am including in the pictures a photo of a piece of art that has been in my possession for the past 3 years. My Aunt Virgina graciously gave me this gift when we moved to Hastings, it is an original Peter Max with a signature and number. This painting always reminded me of my cousin Aaron and my Uncle Jim, making it very valuable. I finally got the piece framed and matted, as it properly deserves, for display. Thank you Aunt Virgina for the most beautiful, unique and fabulous gift. On a funnier note, last night Tagg was swinging a medal in front of Matt's face and Matt asked "what are you doing?" Tagg responded "I'm humiliating you."

December

The staff at the office wanted to have their Christmas party at our house, what a great group of people! Saylor was able to reconnect with an old friend who moved to north carolina, Cheyenne, one of our favorite people.



Some of you may have noticed that I did not send out a Christmas card, it's still coming in the form of a Valentines Day card due to the increased craziness of December. I wanted to explain why I was too busy to send out a card but thought I will show evidence with pictures instead.
