Soccer Dad with new camera!

Figuring out the new toy (Nikon D90) while watching the kids play soccer this weekend. George played for Weston U11 against Wellesley and drew 1 -1 while Alex played for Mass Premier Bulldogs U14 against Seacoast Maine and won 2 zip.

Alex clearly likes his picture as he has already made it his profile pic on Facebook I see :-)

Time I got some exercise . . .

19th April, 2010 - Patriots Day By: Georgina!

Today, Patriots Day, I went with my Dad to the re-enactment of the Battle of Lexington, which celebrates the start of the American Revolution. This is my 8th year in a row that I have been to see this event, starting when I was two!!!!!! It is really cool as my Dad always takes a step ladder so I get a really good view even though there are lots of people there. It always takes place at 5:45am and then we go for a yummy pancake breakfast in one of the local churches afterwards. This year my brother stayed in bed but I would not miss it for anything! =)

Golden Wedding Anniversary Celebration

We had a wonderful family weekend April 10th/11th to celebrate Mum and Dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary. On Saturday we went out as a family for dinner - a rare event with me living in the US - and then on Sunday 30+ of Mum & Dad's friends gathered at a local restaurant to celebrate in style with them. It was a very special evening with my parents Best Man, George Cannon, again taking the reins to give a heart felt toast, and their bridesmaid, Mum's sister Margie, completing the wedding party 50 years on!! I hope that I'll be lucky enough to have such a fabulous evening with my family and friends for my 50th - Chris and I just hit 21 years earlier this month!

Easter weekend

We were basking in 80 degree weather this weekend - a complete contrast to the torrential rain and 100 year floods of last weekend. Easter is not a public holiday over in the US - though some schools do give Good Friday off...though not our kids'. No matter, we have had a wonderful weekend in the garden with the puppy...close up photos attached! After a rather hectic week of little sleep and lots of "accidents" - the puppy has settled into a good routine....with the use of a baby listening device for peace of mind! The Easter Egg hunt around the garden today certainly had another dimension with a very excited puppy joining in the fun!
