When Away, the Cats Will Play

After my niece, Kaitlyn's baby shower in Syracuse, 

we happened upon some gorgeous, 

abandoned buildings in Utica, NY.  

With some encouragement from me, 

Sandy, Jamie and I frolicked away.   

BARN Movie Night

 We've had a run on movie nights in the barn lately.  Ander's Halloween gathering, Kuba's birthday, Zoe's movie night, and soon a holiday movie night.  Good thing it's been warmer out and we have that wood stove! It looks super cozy, right?

FIFTEEN & TWENTY MORE!

 

Happy Birthday to Kuba!

Happy Birthday to Jamie! 

 

Happiest of Birthdays to Kuba!!!!!!!!!!

A great 15th birthday on November 2 followed by another great birthday on November 3.

Happy birthday Jamie!

Halloween 2022

It was an arty Halloween this year!  The boys, Lea, and Jasper all chose to create these super cool costumes of famous paintings. Not my idea, but I love it, and I secretly hope that maybe an itty-bitty kernel of this brilliant idea was because they have me for a mom?! 

 

Rowing

Both boys are rowing this year for the first time ever!  Kuba's a novice and Anders is a senior.  They both love it.

Recently they had a meet nearby and some of the boats did well, and one of their boats got stuck on a rock in the middle of the river!  It doesn't matter!  They had a blast and that is what counts! 

Finally, A Live Performance!

Kuba's orchestra finally got to perform live!  Covid has taken away so many performances, that we were so excited to see him perform along with his friends.  

Two Scripts, One Night

Kuba was hired to read a script for a local screenwriter. He was a character in a film called, Be My Backpack, written by local screenwriter, James Lantz. He first read in a recording studio and then was called back to do a live reading of the script at a local restaurant. It was super fun to watch and Kuba was so good at it!
