The Big Feast


This Thanksgiving Holiday was a big one.
Twenty of us all packed into our home.
All of us, and all of Anna's family, minus Hannah and plus 
Dameon and his family.
The table looked beautiful
the meal was delicious 
the pies were scrumptious
the people were lovely
and the mood was merry.  

We all recited a haiku after our meal.
They were so much fun to listen to.

BHS MUSICAL



Kuba was brave and for the first time tried out for the BHS musical, The Lightening Thief.  I was so proud of him!  It's a very small theater program and not many kids are willing to brave it out.  He did. He was a fantastic Luke!  I am so proud of his courage and devotion to doing something he loves.  
 

HADESTOWN


 For Kubas birthday we all went to see HADESTOWN in NY City.

It was an amazing show that all of us loved so much.   

We've been singing it ever since.

Wait for me!

Home & Hippo

Anders is home for the Thanksgiving holiday.
He came home with two backpacks.  They didn’t fit very much.  When I looked in his room I saw all of his stuff - which included his stuffed hippo.  I love that kid so much.  Even more than he loves his hippo.

Just the Right Light




We were at Dia Beacon recently and I took about a thousand photos of the boys.  I especially loved these because of the fantastic light.

Sweet Sixteen



We celebrated Kuba's 16th birthday with a delicious family dinner followed by a yummy fruit tart.  He requested Mexican lasagna for dinner and the fruit tart for his cake.  We also sang to Jamie (11/3), AJ (10/25) and Lea (11/11). 
We have so many birthdays in November, so many Scorpios!!!
Zoe’s is on 11/18!
