The New New Englander

Life in New England is busy, but fun.  Over the weekend, we had the pleasure of attending a school function at the roller skating rink.  I had not been on skates since High School (at the latest) so I was curious to see how I did.  Lucky for me, Brenna needed a little help so I did not last long on my skates.  I could not really help her when I was barely staying upright on my own!  So, I ended up walking around the rink with her for awhile, until she got her confidence up.  

Now I have to say that I was impressed by Todd.  I had never seen him on skates before, and it seemed to come right back to him.  My only disappointment was that I did not get a picture of him on skates!  I wanted to preserve that memory.  Who knows when I will see that again.

I was very proud of the kids.  They both kept at it and were making noticeable progress by the end of the party.  Brenna can't wait to go back.  We are going to need to get them some roller-blades so they can practice at home.  

(Don't you love the bright orange skates???)

Brenna started school soccer a few weeks ago.  This week she was determined to keep her "streak" going and get another goal.  And I'll be darned (don't I sound like my Dad?), she did.  As you can see, she had the same proud look on her face this time.  (Sorry for the blurry picture.)

And finally, the last bit of news from up north... Brenna lost ANOTHER tooth tonight at dinner!   She was super excited!  And I just love her crazy new smile!
