First snow, Basketball, and more snow

We got out a bit yesterday to enjoy our first snow of the season. We headed to Central Park and found just enough snow to have some fun.

The sun peaked through for just a few minutes right at sunset. This picture doesn't begin to capture the pinks and purples in the sky.

Now for basketball...Sunday we all headed down to the Village for the University of Chicago vs. NYU basketball game. The game was fun - tightly contested first half, then NYU took the lead for good with about 11 minutes to go in the 2nd. We saw lots of 3-pointers (and lots of questionable fouls). All in all lots of fun. I also learned that not all college games have official timeouts....

Now the more snow part. We're anxiously awaiting the arrival of Winter Storm Juno. After the game today, Jack and I ran all over the Upper Westside looking for snow pants for him. I'm happy to say we found something. Now the boys will be ready to play in what I hope will be a good amount of lovely snow. If this happens (and I am home) there will be many pictures.

Spencer Time

A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!). Learning all the tricks on his first flight. We lucked out and got an extra seat for his carseat (ok, I lucked out, but still...) Sleepy times with Grandma Enjoying a new toy! Such a big boy

Called up

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

Growing up

Jack and Spence "graduated" from their respective preschool programs in the last couple of weeks. While the road along the way wasn't always the smoothest, the outcome couldn't be better. At Spencer's 2s club event, the kids demonstrated all the new skills they had learned in the gym. Lots of forward rolls, big jumps on the trampoline, and amazing core strength. The kids then enjoyed their favorite book of the year: mean soup. Afterward each child received an award. Spencer followed Jack's footsteps on this part by refusing to go up to accept the award. Regardless, we were so proud of Spence. He loved having his independence, being involved in a class, making new friends, and just having fun. Next year Spence starts preschool at the Y. Jack's tender care graduation was last friday. The event was held in the Little Theater at the Y. Jack was so excited to be on the stage. The class sang several songs ending with what has to be the anthem of kids 3...
