Hurricane

Lots of wind blowing outside as the storm formerly known as Hurricane Sandy passes through.  Somehow, power has managed to stay on tonight.  Lily and Jack had school canceled today and tomorrow and work has been canceled for both Marcy and I on both days.  It is a bit of a mess out there.

We had a busy week which was highlighted by Jack's first ride around the block on his bike without training wheels.  Lily had her regular swimming during the week along with Brownies.

On Friday, Jack worked on riding his bike without training wheels and he seems to have it almost down now.  Friday night dinner was out with Grandpa Maurice who was in town for the week and provided baby sitting services on Wednesday night.

On Saturday, Jack had his second week of flag football - he seems to be really catching on.  In the afternoon the kids had a bounce house party and had a great time.  In the evening Lily had a splash down party with her swim team.

Sunday was busy as we readied for Hurricane Sandy.  Lily had Hebrew School in the morning and then we were at the Kennedy Center in the afternoon for a kid's concert with the National Symphony Orchestra. After the show, we came home and carved pumpkins with Grandma Gail, Grandpa Tom and Aunt Kelly, and celebrated Stuart's/Dad's birthday.

Sending out special birthday hugs and kisses to Great Aunt Donna who celebrates her birthday on Sunday!
Also sending out special thoughts to cousin Emilie in Manhattan who is currently without power and holed up in a hotel!

Happy Halloween!!
