First snow, Basketball, and more snow

By
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.

School Projects

By
Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
