This Is It For Awhile

I wanted to share my newest and most favorite Christmas tree ornament. I got it for Christmas last year. I'm excited because this is the first year I'm getting to enjoy and appreciate it.

Here is the Burroughs Marching Band in the Christmas Parade. Kevin is the very tall one in the middle playing the drums.

Space Shuttle Fun

The Sunday after returning from Massachusetts John took me to Edwards Airforce Base to watch the Space Shuttle land. If you look very closely you can see the tail of the thing on the ground. You'll need to blow up the picture first though. I think you can do that by double clicking.
Have fun searching.


The best part about being there in person was the double sonic boom. BOOM! BOOM!

More Early Christmas

More early Christmas goodies.

This is my brand new sewing machine. I've never had my very own brand new sewing machine. This one is extra special because it has an automatic needle threader! Love it.

This is the first project I made with my new toy. It's a Christmas stocking for the newest addition to the immediate family. Nathan Scott Boberg. It seemed to actually take less time to make than the others I made on the "old" machine. Thanks John!

Christmas Came Early to Our House

Thanks Mom!


Glug glug.

Yea Natalie.

It's Really Real

Friday before we left for home we went to the Science Museum to see the new Triceratops exhibit. It's a recent installation of a fully excavated dinosaur found in one of the Dakotas.

Roar!

Thanks for a great visit Rideouts.

Thanksgiving Thursday

Kickball, Boston and Turkey. Oh, and Monopoly.

Thanksgiving morning was spent playing a rousing game of kickball with Robin's neighbors. It was the kids against the adults. I'm not really sure who won. It really doesn't matter since we had so much fun.

After that John and I went into Boston on the train. We did a little more shopping. Even though it was Thanksgiving Thursday we were able to find some bargains in Chinatown.

Here's the honored turkey cooked.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Britt and Beau made yummy yummy pie.

We also spent part of the day playing National Parks Monopoly. The kids let John win. He walked away with all the money, all the tents and all the ranger cabins.

Strategy Pays Off

On Wednesday in Cambridge Robin took us to the schools so we could watch the boys participate in Turkey Trots hosted by the schools. Casey's brilliant plan (adopted from his older brother) was to start out slow, let the other boys burn out then pass them all during the second half of the race. It worked!

Here he is coming around the last corner of the race.

Here's the homestretch.

Casey crossing the finish line.

This clever strategy payed off with a first prized turkey. The second place winner was given a pie and third apple cider. Here's a shot of the winners.
Here's a shot of Beau on his THIRD lap around the school's field. We love you guys.

Wednesday night we went to the ice rink and watched hockey practice. Busy busy family. Oh, we also went out for Himalayan food. Yum.

Harvard Anyone?

John and I visited Robin, Britt, Beau and Casey in Cambridge, MA for Thanksgiving. On Tuesday John and I went into Cambridge to do a little Christmas shopping while the boys were in school. Before the spree we strolled through the old Harvard campus. Here are some pictures to delight your senses. Yes, that's rain. Lovely rain.


Here's the library you must be a student to get into.


Here is looking across Harvard Yard from the Church.

Hmm.
