A Ranger Surprise!

We surprised Liam with tickets to the NY Rangers vs. Detroit Redwings game. He was so excited. He ate a snack, and did his homework so fast to make sure that he was able to go to the game.

It was a fun game. As Liam's understanding of the game grows, his commentary gets more elaborate and interesting. It's been really cool to watch the games with him so far this year.


A Ranger Salute. The team salutes with their sticks when they win. Final score was 4 - 2.

Some highlights from the weekend

Liam has discovered that skateboarding at the high school on a Sunday is really fun. Not many cars, and fresh blacktop!

After linner (late lunch/early dinner) we got comfy, and settled in for a game of Monopoly that continued for several nights after dinner. By the time the game finished, Bobby owned half the property, and Liam had half the money. Mommy ended up with some property and about $300. We are planning a rematch next weekend.

Not really sure what trick he was going for, but here is the practice...

First Day of 2nd Grade

Liam was so excited for the first day of Second Grade.

Freshly cut grass, and a fresh start for the school year.

Liam and Bobby have snacks and lunch, and are ready to hit the road.

He got on the bus so fast that this was the best picture I could get.
