Canadian Embassy

Dylan had a chance to interview employees of the Canadian and Australian embassy's about their countries gun control laws. His rugby coach Scotty works there and set him up with the discussions. Dylan did a great job and got a ton of first hand information for a big school project.

Running and snow

Two of Nicole's favorite things. This is the second phunt in Elkton Maryland and I think snow beats mud any day.

Phunt

A 25k trail race in the snow. Good use of a Saturday in January.

The Beard

Movember continues in January for Sammy. We have four basketball games this week. We won the first two in an ugly fashion but the next two game are more difficult. They did get some new uniforms this week which are quite popular.

Summer Run

its 72 degrees around here. Easy running weather.

Before the hair harvest

Going short for a cause.

No Car

The boys both got their drivers license last week and have been slowly venturing out with our cars on their own. Nicole is downtown and Dylan drove my car to his rugby practice. I just went to the mailbox and was walking back up the driveway, with my head down looking at the the mail and thought, look up, don't run into a car. No cars in the driveway while I was home for the first time in the 18 years I lived here. Weird.

1000

Jared scored his 1000th point last week and the team celebrated it after last nights game. He has been a starter on varsity all four years at Edison and an all around great kid. The team didn't do so well against Wakefield. The boys didn't really show up and lost by 30. We will play them again this year and it won't be so lopsided next time. They are better than that.

Another Day

A morning run for momma and a new day for the Vikings as they head to San Francisco after win over the saints.

Early Run

All this happens before I get up at 5:45am.

Happy New Year

Tourney Champs

Good weekend in Salisbury.

Tight Game

Up by 10 at half, then down by 7 in the 4th only to battle back and win by 4. Edison beats Winston Churchill form Potomac Maryland 66-62. Some clutch plays at the end sealed it. Sam played 24 minutes and had 6 points and 8 rebounds. Next game at 11:45am tomorrow at the Governors' Challenge Tournament in Salisbury Maryland.

Merry Chrismakah

The annual tee shirt shot.

Lake Chair

Did a little shopping in Wayzata in balmy 38 degree weather.

Happy Santurnalia

Missing Dylan in this one but he was tired after going to the gym me and grandpa at 6am.

Happy Holidays

mae and Dylan soaking up some holiday lights in Hopkins.

Cousins

they don't fit on the sofa like they used to.

6-1

Good start to the season for the Eagles. This score is worse than it looks. We were down one starter to the flu, one starter had a temp of 101 this morning but played anyway and everyone on the team played a fair amount of time each.

Something Fierce

Sent from my iPhoneEdison schooled an over confident West Potomac team last night 75-58. Sam played nearly the entire game and didn't give an inch down low. He played with intensity and didn't miss any free throws. West Potomac is a run and gun team and Sam was exhausted after all this minutes. The Eagles are 5-1.
