Skiing in Maine with friends

Always a great weekend when you mix good friends, Maine and some SNOW!  Who know I would be begging for snow.  It seems strange, but to live in New England and get no snow feels so odd.  Especially since I have a son who LOVES skiing!  Richie took a 2 hour lesson with Maddie at Shawnee Peak on Friday and then skied the afternoon with Chris.  We were so excited to see Maddie on skies and she actually didn't hate it.  It didn't hurt that the mountain was empty so the kids each had private lessons. Then all the boys got in the car early Saturday morning to head to Sunday River.  Richie loves Sunday River ski school since spending two days there last year.  He was excited to start the day on the green team which meant going on the lifts (and the Gondola) all day.  His instructor said he did great and does lots of french fries with less and less pizza (kiddie ski terms based on the direction of their skies).  Check out those french fries in the pic below!  He was so tired at the end of the day he fell asleep with his hand in the bag of Cheetos.
While the boys skied the girls stayed back at the B&B for some snow play time.  We even built a snow woman complete with a carrot nose and sticks for arms.  Well that is until the dogs got at her.  Angela's favorite part was her first babysitting job.  She loved little Nate and making him laugh. 
We are so very lucky!

Singing the ABC's

So I finally got it on camera although it isn't his best effort. For those of you who have been around us recently, you know how Rich sings the ABC song ALL DAY LONG. It is obviously his favorite song and he is really good at it! In this video he misses a lot of the letters because he does not want to be taped. But he literally knows all the letters and the ending. I guess he was developing his verbal skills when he was sitting on his bottom for all those months NOT crawling. This was taken this morning and I had to bribe his with a cookie. It was only 9 am, but it was the only way I could get him to do it for the camera.

An absolutely beautiful day for my Angela Jane!  She looked absolutely gorgeous and she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.  She celebrated with her family and then with friends who feel like family now.  We are truly blessed! Brunch with family at Monica's and then a bbq at the Crocini's. How cute is she with her bbf's?!?!?!

Celtics courtside!!

Image
At 5:00 Chris got a call from a customer (who happens to live across the street), asking if we wanted his seats for the pre-season Celtics game tonight.  Of course we do!  Yes, it was the first game of the World Series and the Red Sox were playing, but you still can't beat going to a game. Chris had a feeling this guy had good seats, but when we arrived at Row A the kids were ecstatic.  Courtside, directly behind the players seats!  It was so awesome!   They were just feet from us and they were huge.  We could hear the plays they were going to run and then watched them run them.  Angela didn't love the seats because we were almost too close and she had trouble seeing over the 6'7" players!  The game was on ESPN and we were so close to the court that we were also on TV a lot.  My Mom was able to tell me what we were wearing because she watched it.  I found a quick link below.  You can see how close we were. ...
