Ending a Season/Beginning a Season, Crafting and Christmas!!

Well, we've ended Cross Country season -- both boys did well and now we've moved on to Basketball season.  Jonathan had his first game yesterday (Monday) against Sacred Heart.  Jonathan scored a few points (including the first point of the game), but Sacred Heart is a hard team to beat ....


I spent some time Monday working on some cards -- it felt good.  I haven't done any paper crafting in a while, and I've missed it.  Here some of my creations!


 Lastly ... Christmas.  I spent some time updating our Amazon wish lists this evening.  Here are the links that should allow you to get to them.  They are all set to "Don't Spoil My Surprise" so if you buy something you can mark it as purchased ... I believe that will alert others that the item has already been purchased, but we won't be able to see that on our end.  (Sorry, Chris' is kind of sparse.  I'll try to think of some more things to put on there ...)

Enjoy these last few nice minutes of fall ... sounds like yucky weather is headed our way later in the day Wednesday.

Charleston, SC -- Jonathan's Basketball Schedule

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend a conference in Charleston, SC.  It was a fun trip -- first time I'd been on an airplane in 25 years or so, so I was a little nervous about all that, but now that I've navigated an airport with someone who travels often I think I could to do it on my own.

Charleston is truly a beautiful city, and thankfully, we had a little time while there to do some exploring.  To see pictures of my trip, click here: https://picasaweb.google.com/111671352983167570025/CharlestonSouthCarolina?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCJK1h6zz2bPWZw&feat=directlink

After getting back from Charleston, we then went camping for the last time this season.  It was nice to get away.  Unfortunately it rained almost all day Saturday.  I think we had missed the great color by about a week, but I still think Hartwick Pines is one of the most beautiful places on Earth!

The boys finished off their Cross Country season -- both had a great season.  David ran at Regionals this past Friday (10/30).  He came in 24th with a time of 18:20.  He didn't make it to states, but still had a fantastic season.  They were hoping to make it as a team, but missed that opportunity by 2 points!  Unfortunately, no pictures to share of either of their last two meets .... I forgot the camera battery the first time, and the SD card the second.  I really need to get it together, LOL.

Well, I started this blog post over a week ago, but just couldn't seem to find the time to finish it, so here it is.  We have a couple of weeks "off" from sporting events.  Jonathan has started basketball practice.  His games start week after next.  Here's his schedule!  Games are mostly at 4:30, but a couple are at different times.


Hope everyone has a great week.
