<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Alot has happened since my last updated post back in the Fall. We had a great Thanksgiving (visits from my parents, brother and niece), Christmas and New Year. That brought us to Callie on the ski team for the second year. Emily decided not to do ski team this year. Callie did well overall. As much as I love to watch her I am always happy to see this sport end. It is a stressful sport for a parent. Between Todd and I we were able to get to most of the meets. Even Emily made it to one. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We lost a great friend and mom last month We met the Schaub family back when Callie was in first grade. Their daughter Courtney and Callie have been friends ever since. Even though they don't hang out with each other as much as they did when they were younger due to different activities and sports, they have remained friends and still get together now and then outside of school. Michelle was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer Winter 2015. She was being treated for back pain when they discovered the cancer. After a year of a good fight, Michelle lost her battle with Cancer at the beginning of March 2016. Every time I ran into Michelle around town she always had time to chat and always had a smile on her face. Even when I saw her right before Christmas. She didn't look like her old self but she was smiling and happy and looked amazing! She is missed by many.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next up was the Spring Fling dance sponsored by the senior class. Emily was off on her own with her friends but I had the pleasure of taking pictures of Callie and all her friends before they headed off to the dance. A good time was had by all.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On March 14th, Todd and I watched Emily receive a Scholar Athlete award. It is awarded to students who play two or more sports and keep their grade point average above a B+ average. We were very proud to attend the ceremony in Concord, NH. Below is a short video of the Merrimack kids receiving their awards. As they called their names their senior pictures appeared up on screen for all of us to see.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another thing that kept us busy was following along with the Varsity Boys basketball team. Emily was front and center at all the games along with Callie somewhere in the crowd with her friends. Emily made news clippings, and videos cheering on the team. Todd and I jumped on the bandwagon half way through the season attending the home games. It led us to attending the play off game then onto Durham at UNH to watch the team play in the final four game and then onto the championship game. It was very exciting!! Below is a picture of some girls I took up to Durham to watch the quarterfinal game. Riding in the car with all those girls (two were not in the picture) was just as much fun as watching the game. The team lost by 2 points in the championship game but we are all so proud of them!! It was so much fun to watch and cheer them on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday we attending Accepted Students day at UNH with Emily. It was a day filled with a lot of information. We toured the science buildings, labs, several dorms, a dining hall where we had a great meal, met a new friend, caught up with an old friend and had some great ice cream that they make right there with the milk from the cows they have on campus. Emily has made her decision to attend UNH in Durham, NH, Fall of 2016!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So that brings us to now. Well, LAX tryouts have come and gone with Emily making the Varsity team and Callie has been picked to be a swing player for both JV and Varsity. What this means for Callie is that she will practice with Varsity, dress for Varsity, play in the first few games with JV and will get pulled up before the end of the season to play with Varsity. What that means for Todd and I? Well for at least the first few games we will be at the field for both games with a packed dinner picnic so we don't starve!!! We are very proud of both girlies!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Callie is back at King Kone working and Emily is currently looking for a job. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I know most of you saw these but I wanted to get it on my blog for my memories. We had so much fun this day. It was Winter Break from school at the end of February and it was unseasonable warm. The girls were feeling unmotivated to do anything so I made them get dressed and go to the park with me so I could take some pictures and practice with my zoom lens. They warmed up quickly to the idea and I got some great shots of them. </span></div>

We have been very busy with soccer games, field hockey games, Callie reffing soccer games on Saturdays and Emily preparing her college essays and getting ready to apply to schools. We have also had the pleasure having Ann and Bob and my parents visit. They were able to see some games which I am so grateful for them wanting to watch the girls play. So many times I hear from friends here that the grandparents who live nearby never come to watch their grandchildren play in their sports. So thank you for being such great grandparents!!! Here are some of my favorite photos so far from this season!! Oh how I love to watch them play!!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After a Summer of field hockey and soccer conditioning 2-3 times a week, last week was the beginning of each sport with double sessions of tryouts. The girls got up early to go to their fields on the hottest week of the Summer and then returned in the evening for two more hours of scrimmages.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Emily is on Varsity this year and has improved so much. Last year with a great new coach and playing over the Winter in tournaments has helped Emily a lot. She has worked very hard and it shows.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yesterday Callie went with the Varsity soccer team to Pembroke, NH about 40 minutes north of here. They played three games. Meanwhile, Emily went with her team to a neighboring town and played 6 shortened games. We started out at the field hockey jamboree and watched the first four games. Then we drove up to the soccer jamboree to catch the last soccer game. It was a hot, sunny day but a great day for Emily and Callie!! They both played well and were very happy at the end of the day.</span></div>

This was a special prom seeing as it was her Junior prom and she went with her boyfriend. They looked stunning, they looked happy and had a great time! She was home and in bed before midnight! She opted out of the after prom parties because she and her friends were way too tired!! We were so happy she was home and in her own bed!!<br />
<br />
Emily did her own hair, make up and nails. I took the afternoon off to take her out to lunch and help her get ready. I took over 850 pictures of her and Jeff and all the friends. We started the evening at Jeff's house, then moved onto a friends house where we met up with more prom couples and their parents. Then we all ventured down to Budweiser to see all the great dresses and all the friends and take lots of pictures.<br />
<br />
Here are my favorites!! They are not in order of how the evening went as that would have taken me another hour to fix. So sit back and enjoy the pics!!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We had a quiet Christmas here in NH. Always sad to not be with family but we made it an enjoyable day anyway. Todd made a turkey that couldn't be beat and I made all the fixings. We stayed in our Pj's all day and stayed warm by the fire.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">New Year's Eve Emily had plans with her friends and a big sleepover. Callie had four of her friends at our house for a big sleepover. So Todd and I hosted 5 teenagers at our house. Fun times!!!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Both Emily and Callie made the ski team at the high school this year. As you know, Emily has been on the team since she was a freshman. Callie joined her this year. It was fun to see snapchat and instagram pictures of their time together on the mountain and hear of their adventures. Todd and I did not do ski club this year so we were able to watch a couple of the races. The last race before the state meet I got to sit in the booth and announce the racers. Both girls finished every race and improved their times. They both qualified for the state meet as well. We are so proud of them!!!! The following pictures are from two different races. You can tell by their numbers.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As you know, we have had a lot of snow. We have had two blizzards that brought us about a foot of snow each and some smaller ones. I have lost count how many we have had. We have missed four days of school and have had three delayed starts. Driving around town is like driving through snow tunnels. You can't see cars coming out of streets and it has been cold, cold and cold. Spring will be so much sweeter this year I think. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Valentine's Day we drove to Keene State to watch Callie perform at the solo and ensemble festival. She did a trumpet ensemble with about 10-12 other trumpet players. They sounded great!! Then she did a trumpet trio with her friends Alicia and Kait. Again they sounded great and the judge told Callie she nailed her part!! Todd and I headed back home after they performed as another storm was coming. Callie followed in the bus with the band.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This past weekend Emily had a tournament at the seacoast in Hampton, NH, for her GSE field hockey team. This was the first tournament for the team. Because of all the snow the team hadn't practiced in over a month. The first two games were tough but the last two were awesome. The girls were warmed up and played well. Emily was on fire and almost made a couple goals. So much fun to watch!!! We get to watch them again on March 8 for another tournament in Danvers, MA.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After the tournament, Callie suggested we drive along the NH coast and see all the snow on the beach. Driving along the coast we could not see the beach at all because the snow banks were so high. So we found a place to pull over and climbed a huge snow bank that got us on the beach. It was a bright and warmer day, mid thirties, but no sun. It was nice to be on the coast. A beach anytime of year north or south is good for the soul!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I promised here are Soccer highlights for Callie's Fall Season! She started her season in July just like Emily with conditioning with the team and Varsity coach several days a week. She made the JV team as one of 25 girls. Yes 25 is a lot of girls on a soccer team. Obviously this number affected playing time for the girls. Callie played quite a bit but probably not as much as she was used to. I can't complain though, as a freshman she got a lot of playing time. The team was made up of freshman and sophomores. She started out the season very strong in tryouts. As the games started she didn't seem as strong of a player as she did in tryouts. She started out playing a lot and starting both halves to not starting and a game or two not playing at all in the second half. After some tears and a heart to heart talk with her she came back stronger than ever. She was starting again and playing a lot. She finished the season with 5 goals. She was the highest scoring player on JV. The season ended with a Soccer banquet in the middle of December. It was another great evening with great food, great girls and great parents. The highlight for us was Callie winning the Best Offensive Player award!</div>

Funny story about that purple and blue wall in the background. The team had a lot of waiting time before and after this game. Callie threw her friend's cleat in the air and it went in between the wall. They couldn't get it out. So Todd, Callie and I went back that weekend and creatively figured out how to get it out. Thank goodness or we would have had to buy this friend a new pair of cleats. </div>

Callie is just finishing up an indoor soccer league that has been going on since November. This next Friday is the playoffs. Callie will then start an indoor Lacrosse training. She wants to try out for the high school LAX team with Emily. Callie and Emily are both on the ski team now. Meanwhile, Emily made is on an indoor Winter team for field hockey. She is playing for Granite State Elite. She has a couple practices a month and will have tournaments throughout the Winter. More intense training to prepare her for her senior year.</div>

To be honest I am going through a little withdrawal. Field Hockey officially ended last night with the awards banquet. It was a very nice evening with great food, great people, great group of girls, a wonderful slide show and the best part of all Emily won a coaches award!! The season started off a little rough for her with the disappointment of not making the Varsity team (where all her friends were). She had some tears and a lot of frustration after the first couple games. But as time went on she realized that she had a great coach and a great group of JV girls that looked up to her. She was one of three captains on the team and took her leadership seriously. She played about 95% of every game. (If she had been on Varsity she would not have played nearly as much.) Because she played so much and her coach is amazing, Emily improved so much this season as a field hockey player. She has decided to tryout for the Granite State Elite team this Sunday. This will run through the Winter I believe and will look great on her college applications and give her more time improving her game. Oh and it is played indoor. Remember....we live in NH! So wish her luck on Sunday at the tryouts!!<br />
<br />
The bonus of last night next to Emily winning her award was the slide show. I was asked to take pictures of the JV players and any other pictures I could get of Varsity. So most of the pictures on the slide show were pictures I took. It was pretty exciting for me to see my pictures on a big screen with all those people looking at them. A fun evening!!<br />
<br />
So I have picked some of my favorite pictures to highlight Emily's 2014 Field Hockey season.........<br />

This picture is Emily warming up with Varsity for the first playoff game.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the end of the regular season, Emily was asked to join the Varsity team for playoffs. She was so thrilled to be asked and to be able to practice and be with all her friends. I might add there were 11 seniors on the varsity team and most of them are good friends of Emily. So she didn't care if she got to play or not in the playoff games. She was just happy to be on the same side as her friends to cheer them on! That first playoff game was cold, windy and rainy. An exciting game that ended in a win for Merrimack.</div>

Next came the quarterfinal game. Here is Emily warming up before the game. A beautiful Fall day in NH but a bittersweet end to the game. The girls played their hearts out but came up short and lost the game.</div>

Traditionally, at the end of a game the girls run over to the parents/fans side of the field holding hands. After the Quarterfinal game the parents held hands and ran over to the team. The girls applauded the parents and there is Jeff with the Merrimack flag. This game was not in Merrimack but a great group showed up to support them. Jeff, I think, is their number 1 fan!!</div>

There were lots of tears. Here is Emily and Shannon hugging each other after the game. I think the girls were more sad that they would not be playing together anymore then the fact that they lost the game.</div>

I only have pictures of Callie and her friends as Emily went off to be with her friends. She had a field hockey tournament all day and was rushed to get ready and get to the dance. Both Emily and Callie had a great time. <br />
<br />
Now for all of you back in Ohio. Homecoming Dance here is a little different from a Homecoming Dance in Ohio or Michigan. Last year was the first year that we can remember MHS having a dance for homecoming. The theme last year was "black light" and not a lot of people went. In the past, I have been told, MHS has had homecoming dances but it was never a dress up thing. The kids just went in jeans and a nice shirt with their friends. So this year the theme was Semi-formal and not only did a lot of kids go but the student council made over $1000.00 in ticket sales and refreshments. So this might be the start of a new MHS homecoming tradition.<br />
<br />
So as I said, Emily went off with her field hockey friends. All the Fhockey girls wore black. They arrived in a "black out" I was told. Callie and her friends all met up at her friend, Raina's house. They all curled their hair together and got dressed together. I arrived in the middle of all this prep. I snapped a few pics and off they went. Such beautiful girls inside and out. Callie plays soccer with all these girls. I just love them all!!<br />
<br />
I have single pictures of Callie of course and also Alicia since her parents were not able to be there to see how beautiful their daughter was.<br />

Spring took a long time to come to New England this year but the end of Spring and now the beginning of Summer has been awesome so far. As for the girls, we were busy with Callie's track and her travel soccer team along with Emily's lacrosse team. <br />
<br />
Callie started off well with Track this year. She was named one of the captains for the girls team and showed much improvement from the first track meet to the second. Unfortunately she injured her Achilles and after a doctor visit we found out she had grown three inches over the winter, went up a couple shoe sizes and now had Achilles tendinitis. So her track season came to a halt but she still did the hurdles and participated in practices. As for her soccer team, the Cosmos, she had to sit out a couple games but after some physical therapy and awesome taping techniques, she was able to finish the soccer season. The Cosmos have come to the end now. All the girls will be off to High School next year so there will be no Fall travel team. They may be able to bring some of the team together for a Spring season if there is interest. <br />
<br />
I mentioned that Callie grew three inches over the winter. Well, I believe she has grown about another inch since her doctor appt. in early May. She has shot up and is the same height as Emily now. <br />
<br />
As for Emily, she had a great LAX season! She made the Varsity team but got more playing time on JV. She found her aggressiveness inside her and kicked butt at defending the ball!! I got some great photos of her looking her opponent in the eyes. :)<br />
<br />
Emily also went to Prom as you all know. She did an awesome job picking out a beautiful dress, doing her own hair for the night, making sure she had the right make up for pictures and doing her own nails. This was not her prom as prom here is for the juniors. But she was asked to go by a friend who was a junior. We started out here at home taking a few pictures then we all headed down to the Budweiser plant where the Clydesdale's live. Every prom couple and their families were there. It was quite an event and lots of picture taking!! She had a blast!! <br />
<br />
Another milestone for Emily was getting her drivers license. She is enjoying her freedom of driving to school, driving to meet with friends and now driving to work. She is now employed at Dunkin Donuts! She has been working there a little over a week and enjoys it. She comes home with funny stories of co-workers and customers. <br />
<br />
Both girls have enjoyed their first week of summer vacation with invites to pool parties, beach, bon fires, etc. We can't seem to keep Emily home. But she is having a great time and seems to have a great group of friends. Callie is home more but still having a lot of fun with friends. We went to the beach one day last week with some of Callie's friends. The New Hampshire coast is not NC or the Emerald Coast but still nice to sit and listen to the waves and smell the beach and of course dig our feet in the sand!!! I am not one to go into that cold water but the girls do it!!<br />
<br />
Emily will be going to her first sleepover camp at the end of July into August for Field Hockey. She will be going with some of her teammates. She is looking forward to that. They both start conditioning with the high school coaches in the next week or so. After we return from our annual NC beach trip they will both have tryouts for their teams and Callie will also be attending marching band camp at the high school in between soccer tryouts. Whew.....the busy schedules will start up again.<br />
<br />
So I have a lot of pictures to highlight the end of the school year. As always I will post the pics and describe them.<br />

The last week of school we got a letter in the mail inviting us to the 8th grade awards ceremony. Apparently you only get invited if your child is receiving an award. Callie didn't know she was getting an award and we didn't know what award she was getting. We didn't tell her about the letter so when she walked into the gym and saw us in the stands she was surprised and figured out she was getting an award. Well, she not only got an award but she got TWO awards!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She received the President's Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence in FACS(sewing, interior design and cooking) and Music! She doesn't go to a traditional music class because she is in band and during music class she has trumpet lessons. So her music award was from her band teacher. </div>

The best part for Emily at Bud, I think, was seeing all her friends. I just followed her with my camera and she would find a friend, hug them and turn to me to ask for a picture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is her good friend, Jeff. Jeff and Emily went to the Semi dance back in December together. They are still very good friends.</div>

Shoes in hand, they were off to prom!!!<br />

LAX highlights are next.<br />
<br />
Like I said before, Emily improved her aggressive skills in LAX this year. She did have a couple minor setbacks during the season. She injured her hip flexor (sp?) and ended up with pneumonia. She had to sit out a couple games but when she got back in the game she was ready to defend!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a long cold Winter we are seeing signs of Spring here in NH. We have only had a few warm Spring days with the cold and wind returning in between the nice days. So far we have had two track meets (Callie), a few lacrosse games and one soccer game. We have all been a bit under the weather this past month but now on the mend. Thank goodness!!! Emily is still recovering from pneumonia and her smiling happy self has returned! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started the Spring off with a big band concert called Cavalcade of Bands highlighting all the bands starting with 5th grade and ending with the high school bands. A great way to show the progression of how they started and what they end up sounding like in high school. A long concert but very enjoyable. Callie is in her last year at the middle school and has decided to continue with band at the high school next year. She played with the middle school band and jazz band at this concert. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Callie had just recovered from being sick with a horrible cough and was put on an inhaler. She ran the 400M in the cold air and really struggled in this race. She finished the race but had some trouble breathing. Once she found me and was able to slow her breathing down and use her inhaler she was fine. Time to talk to the doc again about athletic induced asthma. I was so proud that Callie finished the race and didn't give up.</div>

When she came off the track after the 400M a friend came out of the crowd of teammates and asked if she was ok. I then snapped this picture. There were two kids that really stood out to me during this track meet. (as we are there for a VERY long time and I had lots of time to observe!) One of them was the boy Ryan in the picture above. (He is the son of some friends of ours.) He cheered on his teammates and encouraged the kids on the other teams that were falling behind. The other one was the girl in the photo below with Callie. Grace was there to encourage not only Callie but every one at that track meet that she encountered or was near her. </div>

The other event Callie has been doing is the 4x4 relay. She is the first person to run and struggled at the last meet but showed a lot of improvement at this second meet. Here she is about to finish her run and pass the baton off to her teammate. Her team sprang ahead to first place for most of the race but in the end one of the other teams sprinted ahead. Callie's team came in second. </div>

The LAX team started the season off by "tagging" outside of various places around town such as, Shaws, Tractor supply and the transfer station (the dump). They encouraged people to donate money to the team or to buy a raffle calendar and a chance to win money. As you can see in the picture, Emily is not a fan of "tagging"! But we got through it and sold all her raffle calendars.</div>

So it has been a rough week for Emily as she ended up with pneumonia. She missed some practices and sat out a couple games. We thought maybe she would be able to play at yesterday's game but Emily and Coach made the right decision by having her sit out. There she is watching the game on the sidelines.</div>

It was all about Callie!! Earlier this year, Callie was selected by her band teacher to submit a tape of her playing her trumpet to the NHBDA (New Hampshire Band Directors Association) to try out to be a part of the 2014 Middle Level Honors Festival. Callie practiced and practiced and practiced. We then met with Miss Saranita (her old band teacher) for some guidance and help on her music. Then Callie practiced, practiced and practiced some more. Then we met with Miss Saranita again to tape her playing scales and her music. Then we waited.......<br />
<br />
We finally heard back that Callie made it into the festival as part of the Trumpet Choir. From what I understand there were 60 trumpeters that tried out and they took 25. She was ranked about 15 out of the 25. The top 13 were asked to be part of the concert band. Callie at first was disappointed that she was not a part of the band but she found that being a part of the trumpet choir she got more playing time and guidance as there weren't nearly as many students as in the band. <br />
<br />
The festival took place this past Friday at Pinkerton Academy in Derry, NH. Callie and some of her fellow band friends (13 Merrimack Middle School band students were asked to be a part of this) spent all day at Pinkerton working with some of the great band directors in this area. Callie really enjoyed the director of the trumpet choir and learned a lot about other kinds of trumpets. So after playing all day and practicing music with other trumpeters in the state, they put on a concert at 7pm. Callie had two other trumpet friends from Merrimack in the trumpet choir with her but made a new friend from another school who they discovered had some friends in common and played soccer against each other last Fall.<br />
<br />
Emily and I went to the concert and enjoyed some great music!! We first watched a Flute choir which was amazing as many of you know I love the Flute!!! Then the Trumpet Choir came out!! I was so proud to see Callie Girl up on that stage. It took place in a beautiful theater that was packed! The music was fun and sounded awesome! The best surprise of all was when Callie did a solo in The Saints Go Marching In. No, I didn't know she was going to do a solo so I did not get a picture or a video. I have already ordered the DVD of the whole concert! Unfortunately, Todd missed the concert due to work travel but will be able to watch it!!<br />
<br />
After the trumpets came the Saxophone Ensemble. Again a great performance. We then had the pleasure of watching and listening to the concert band. They were amazing! To think that these kids had never played together before and never under the leadership of the director not to mention the director didn't know any of these kids. And they all did it in a days work!!<br />
<br />
We got home about 10pm and Callie was beyond exhausted!!! She slept 10 hours and woke up still tried but there was no rest for the weary as she had to get ready for another event. Yesterday was the Large Group Festival for the entire Merrimack Middle School Band. I went to listed to them play and they were amazing!! After performing three songs, one of which they made it sound like a locomotive was about to come barging into the building, they had to go sight read a piece of music and then play it for the judges. I am happy to say they got a grade of an A for the event from the judges!!! Way to go Merrimack Middle School Band!! Below are some pictures that capture a bit of the past two days in Callie's world!<br />

Since then they played their last regular season game, a playoff game and then the Championship game.<br />
<br />
They won their last regular season game which put them at 8-0 for the season. Then they played in the playoff game against a team they lost to twice last Spring. Cosmos won!!! The following day they played in the Championship game against a team they won against twice this Fall season. Both games, both teams played well and it could have gone either way. They were a good match. We were all unsure how this Championship game would go.<br />
<br />
The first half of the game the other team, a Candia, NH team, played strong and scored 2 goals. Feeling defeated at halftime, the Cosmos huddled together for a team chat and came back out at the second half much stronger. They evened up the score, 2-2. In the last 32 or so seconds of the game, Candia scored their winning goal. <br />
<br />
We played a team or two this season that showed a lack of sportsmanship and class. This Candia team played well and showed good sportsmanship. When the teams gathered to receive their medals and plaque the Candia Coach spoke to the Cosmos. He said some kind words and congratulated them. Through their tears, the Cosmos cheered on the Candia team as they received their awards. There weren't many dry eyes amongst the Cosmos and their parents. <br />
<br />
I am so proud to be a parent of this team!! Callie and her teammates have grown so close and work so well as a team. This Spring will be their last season together as the Cosmos. The Cosmos coaches, Ray Debruin and Kristi Gallagher, have taught them not only how to play the game but how to be teammates and work together. I love all the girls on this team and it has been so much fun to watch them grow into young ladies!! Some of these girls I have known since they were 4 years old when we first moved here. <br />
<br />
So, I will finish by posting some pictures I have taken of the last three games! There are a few I have stolen from other parents: Marc Nozell and Kristina Debruin.<br />
<br />
First, the last regular season game:<br />

<br />
Fall has been a very busy time for us with Emily on the high school field hockey team, Callie on the middle school soccer team and her travel soccer team.<br />
<br />
Emily started her field hockey season over the summer with conditioning with the team three mornings a week and on a field hockey league with some of her teammates. She worked hard getting ready for the regular season. She made it on the JV team again this year and improved her skills as the season went on. Field hockey can be a hard game to watch with a lot of rules and the whistle blowing all the time. Every season I learn more and more how the game is played and enjoy it more with each game I watch. Emily's team ended the season last weekend at a tournament where they played 5 games. It was a nice way to end the season.<br />
<br />
Callie started her soccer season last summer with two weeks of soccer camps and three mornings a week scrimmages with the high school team. She was fortunate to be invited to scrimmage and condition with the girls high school team and get to know the coach and the players before even getting to the high school. This will make things a little easier for her next summer when she will be getting ready to try out for the high school team. Callie was picked to be one of three captains for the middle school team and for those of you who know her well know that she took this job seriously! She worked hard to do everything and more that the coaches asked of her. I was named team mom by the coach (by default as I was the only returning mom at the first meeting.) and with the help of another mom and friend we were able to throw a pasta party for all the girls. Callie really enjoyed being a part of this team and was very sad at the last game. Tomorrow they have their last hurrah game. The 8th grade girls and boys soccer players against the coaches, teachers and parents. Should be fun!!! Meanwhile......Callie's travel team has had an awesome season with no losses. An undefeated team!!!!! The Cosmos have their last regular season game next weekend then on to the playoffs!!! So fun and exciting to watch the Cosmos play!!!<br />
<br />
Emily is enjoying her sophomore year so far and has started drivers training. Yikes!! We have been trying to get some driving time in as much as we can. She has to have 40 hours of driving time with Todd and/or me in addition to the driving she will do with her instructors. We started her driving in March and we have 17 hours. It takes a long time to get to 40 hours!!! <br />
<br />
We had a great visit this Fall with Noel and Debbie. They came on one of our busiest weekends and got a full dose of Merrimack and sports!!! They drove and picked up the girls from practice and a pasta party, watched a middle school soccer game, watched a field hockey game and traveled to the coast for a travel soccer game! It was a fun busy weekend!!!<br />
<br />
So as the sports are coming to an end and the air is turning cooler we were able to fit in a day of apple picking. Todd has been cutting and stacking wood and getting ready to rake up the millions of leaves in our yard. It is about time to hunker down for the colder weather. Time to plan for ski club and ski team and the holidays. Time is fleeting!!!<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures from this Fall!<br />

Mom and Dad came for a visit at Easter. I was really sick and missed out on a visit with Uncle Walter in MA at Bob and Beth's house. Uncle Walter is my grandmother's (Alma Cameron) brother. He came up to live with Bob (his son) and Beth in MA. I was able to go visit him in November but not at Easter. Margot, Brooke, the kids and I were planning on visiting him during our Spring Break at the end of April but he passed away days before our planned visit. I was lucky enough to travel to New Jersey with Aunt Margot to attend his funeral. What a great trip that was to see so many relatives I had not seen since I was a teenager. It was overwhelming but so awesome!! A great tribute to a great man and I reconnected with so much of my family!!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our Winter was not much of a New England Winter this year. We had an early whopper of a snow storm Halloween weekend that shut down the schools for three days and power for almost a week. Longer for some. Trick or Treat was postponed for a week. Too bad the ski resorts were not open then. Thankfully we did have enough cold nights so the ski mountains could make enough snow so we could ski. We had one more snow storm during our Winter Break just in time for us to get a day of skiing in on some fresh powder. But the warmer temps came back and the snow melted quickly. Last week we had record highs and it was starting to feel like Summer weather with temps well up into the 80's. Now this week we are back to normal temps for March. Brrrrrrrrrr....it is cold and windy out there.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have posted some pictures to highlight our Winter and added captions to all of them. The Winter went by so quickly!! Now I am ready for warm Spring weather, getting our garden started and preparing for the end of school. Wow.....time is flying by.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">On another note.....The girls have been doing well this year. Callie in 6th grade and Emily is 8th grade. Emily has made the High Honor Roll for the first two quarters with all A's. Callie has had all A's on her report cards as well. We are coming to an end to the 3rd quarter and hoping for the same. Both girls have continued in band this year and Emily has started to prepare for her transition to the High School. She has already filled out her class schedule for 9th grade. Yikes!!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">As for sports, Callie has played soccer all year so far in some way or another. She has been doing a Wed. night clinic indoors with the Middle School coach and is now in a indoor league. She has started Spring Travel Soccer practice and as the indoor league games end the outdoor Spring games will begin. Emily has started lacrosse practice and seems to really like it. We will be traveling to other towns for games with the soccer team and the lacrosse team. So it will be a very busy Spring for us. A good busy!!</span> </div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Callie and one of her besties, Alicia, at the December recital at school. Callie played a duet with her band teacher, Ms. Saranita, a duet with Alicia and a solo. Take note she is wearing her green santa hat that I made. She wears this everywhere throughout the month of December until we lay down the law after New Years that she must stop wearing it. When I find the video of the duets I will try and post them.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rebecca, Emily and Morgan after the December band concert at their school. Emily's closest friends. Emily has known these girls since first and second grade. I am sure you have heard her talk about them both from time to time. I have taken so many pictures of these three over the years but not sure if I have one where they are all smiling nicely. They are so fun to watch together. They can get very goofy together and I love watching their friendships grow. Sadly, Morgan and her family have plans to move to England this Summer. It will be a sad day for these girls. For me too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The girls walking down the stairs Christmas morning. Take note....Callie now is wearing a purple Santa hat. She took it off her green one for one second at her friends house and it was lost for a few days. This caused much tormoil in our house until her friend found it!! Oh what a happy day that was! Christmas was quiet and very nice but our families were missed dearly. We had a meal that couldn't be beat and then went to see a movie together. A great day!</span></div>

<strong>Happy Veteran's Day!!</strong></div>
<br />
Todd was asked to present a speech about Veteran's Day at the Veteran's Day Assembly at Callie's school. Todd has attended this assembly every year for the past four years. Twice for Emily and now twice for Callie. (The school is 5th and 6th grade only.) Callie took part in the assembly as well playing her trumpet with some of her fellow band members. I wasn't able to attend but thanks to Miss Saranita, the band teacher, I have Todd's speech on video. I tried to upload it right to the blog but failed. So here is the link to his speech. It is 7 minutes long but worth it. He did an outstanding job!!<br />

I have been very bad over the last year about blogging and totally missed this one that I wanted to blog.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Last Summer in August, my dear friend and "cousin in law", Patty, drove with her three children from Cleveland all the way to NH to see us. Patty is married to Todd's cousin, Dave. They have three wonderful children. Their two girls, Gabby and Kristen, are very close with Emily and Callie. They break off in pairs and seem to be in their own little worlds for hours. Emily and Gabby are so alike and get along so well. Sometimes I can't even tell who is talking. When Gabby says, "Mom?" I answer her every time thinking it is Emily. Callie and Kirsten not only look a like but are very much alike in many ways. No doubt they both have Beard blood flowing through their veins.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then there is Carson!! Otherwise known as C-Dog. Cute, adorable, funny and go with the flow kind of kid. Always a delight to have him around!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">When they came they stayed for a couple days. We had such a good time with them. Below are some pictures I took of their visit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_NuSYfz4LHQ/TkEtM4eewGI/AAAAAAAABf8/MTygGbWI2bg/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_NuSYfz4LHQ/TkEtM4eewGI/AAAAAAAABf8/MTygGbWI2bg/s320/008.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">The last day they were here we went to a playground here in town. Here are all the kids hanging out.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5ay3IdnVOgg/TkEumAM8vTI/AAAAAAAABgA/m2bWoJGxjqo/s1600/Beard+kids+on+the+rock.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5ay3IdnVOgg/TkEumAM8vTI/AAAAAAAABgA/m2bWoJGxjqo/s320/Beard+kids+on+the+rock.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
There is also a trail to walk behind the playground with some water falls and rocks to climb and a tiny beach at the end of the trail. Here are all the kids sitting on some big rocks by the water falls.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I love this picture!!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--JCuJv6xEcc/TkEvrGb53ZI/AAAAAAAABgU/YIN4zQvoJsk/s1600/Patty+and+the+kids.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--JCuJv6xEcc/TkEvrGb53ZI/AAAAAAAABgU/YIN4zQvoJsk/s320/Patty+and+the+kids.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Here is a picture of Patty and the kids that I took right after I fell on my butt and my camera went flying and hit a rock. Maybe I shouldn't mention that everyone laughed at me. Especially Emily and Patty!! Apparently I fell in slow motion and it looked pretty hilarious. No worries, I was ok and so was my camera!!! </div><br />

We had a snowy Winter with about 5 snow days from school. With all the snow days added on at the end of the year we just got out of school last Wed. But it was a good Winter for skiing! Spring took a long time to come to New England and when it came Winter decided to come back and say hello. After that Summer came and then Fall decided to come and say hello. We had a chilly start to Summer and had a couple fires in our wood stove just this month but I think Summer is finally here to stay.</div><div align="center">I have posted some random pictures from Spring Break/Easter up to some recent pictures.</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623667590562419314" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CFdd9O3-ByA/TgtH4M5ZknI/AAAAAAAABfw/Dvg0ntZE3Eo/s320/best%2Bone.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Our Spring Break this year started out with Easter. Mom and Dad came to visit and we headed down to my aunt and uncles house in MA for the day. It is always so great to be there with family. My cousins were there and my cousin, Brooke's kids. The picture above is of Emily, Callie, Brady and Cameron. Brady and Cameron are Brook's kids. We are missing Emma as she was taking a nap. </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yZyGZr_3nOo/TgtCV5rRZUI/AAAAAAAABfI/jDTCyis0xDM/s1600/this%2Bone%2Btoo.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623661503729198402" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yZyGZr_3nOo/TgtCV5rRZUI/AAAAAAAABfI/jDTCyis0xDM/s320/this%2Bone%2Btoo.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a>While Mom and Dad were here we did a lot of day trips. One day we drove to the coast on our way to Portsmouth. We walked along the beach. The photo above is the best of three pictures I took. Some people were not being cooperative but I still love this picture!!!<br />

This was taken at </div><div>Camp Mi-Te-Na. The 7Th graders all go on a three day/two night camping trip. The weather wasn't the best but she had a great time. Todd went as well as a chaperon but had a group of boys he stayed with. I thought it was great because he was there and could watch Emily do all sorts of great things with her friends but he wasn't with her all the time so she had a lot of time with just her friends. If I had gone I would have been with her the whole time. There were SO many stories from both Emily and Todd when they returned!!!! Todd is already talking about when he will go with Callie so I think he had fun too!</div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hpud4fQiALE/TgtCVcPPXKI/AAAAAAAABe4/Vg7p_-Sp-WA/s1600/Carmen%252C%2BHope%252C%2BHannah%2Band%2BGretch.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623661495826996386" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hpud4fQiALE/TgtCVcPPXKI/AAAAAAAABe4/Vg7p_-Sp-WA/s320/Carmen%252C%2BHope%252C%2BHannah%2Band%2BGretch.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 239px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a></div><div>At the end of May Emily and I did a walk for Cystic Fibrosis. We raised $390.00 between the two of us. We walked in honor of a little girl named, Hannah. I have had the pleasure of working with Hannah the last two years in preschool. Hannah has CF and doing very well. Her mom believes we will find a cure in her lifetime. Wouldn't that be awesome!!!! It has been wonderful knowing Hannah and her wonderful family!!

It was so great to see them and the kids were wonderful to be around. Emily and Callie were so good with them!!! They all get along so well! So nice to see them together playing and hanging out. We had a nice lunch on the deck and some swimming. This beautiful picture above is Emma!!! What a great baby she is!! Always smiling and she is such a snuggler!!<br />

<br />
<div>Both Emily and Callie had wonderful years at school this year. It went by so fast. It was Emily's first year in middle school and she loved it!!! She made high honors three out of the four quarters and made honor roll one quarter!!! Callie got straight A's almost every quarter! They both participated in Gateway again this year and in band. Callie added chorus half way through the year. Emily decided to try out to play the piccolo next year. The band teacher would only take one piccolo player so Emily had to try out as well as 5 other girls. Emily got it!!! She is so excited about band for next year which is such an improvement from the beginning of last year when she just wasn't sure she wanted to continue. She was able to bring a school piccolo home to practice all Summer.</div><div></div><div>On a sad note, we lost an amazing woman just about a week ago. My grandmother, Mama Rachel, (aka Memaw, Rachel Ann, The Big R!) passed away. She was such a wonderful Grandmother to me. She left me with so many great memories of my childhood and as an adult. The time she flew out to California to see me and my new baby and the time she flew to NH to surprise me for my 40Th birthday are priceless!!! This is a woman that hated to fly on a plane!!! I can still hear her laughing. She had such a contagious laugh that could be heard all around her. Knowing she is in heaven now with my uncle David and my cousin Noah makes me smile. I miss her terribly but will always have her memories!!!</div><div><br />

The second video of Callie doing her jazz solo is a little longer than her solo. You have to wait more than half way through before you see Callie jump out of the crowd to Miss Saranita and play her solo.

We had a busy November and December here in New Hampshire. We spent Thanksgiving in Essex, MA, with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. Always good to see them and always grateful that they are nearby. December was filled with Christmas shopping, baking, wrapping, parties, a visit from Grandpa Buck and Grandma DeeBee, and a visit right after Christmas from Mama Ann, Papa Bob and Auntie Allison. </div><div align="center"><br /><br /></div><div align="center">Below are some pictures that show and tell what we have been doing.</div><div align="center"> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560268562914922914" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1cFYjbVxAIY/TSoKzGRQ0aI/AAAAAAAABcI/pjUa8TTfjBQ/s320/021.JPG" />The day before Thanksgiving I took the girls ice skating. We met up with some friends and Callie got to skate with her newest friend, Aliza. Callie met Aliza this year in her class. <br /></div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560268569050583426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh029IQe0xiDW7xAoR1bDFNANF3OwU1zSm08Z-ttsZPlvVmne2dVDaalOBmZaERAt7QqOL1zxIGUfVVBg2mgymJ7LmQ5lHmOSudA6YyZL-GlP5Vg5Jm6OTWW2EDxNmRs7BnRapvprmEQM0/s320/Cousins.JPG" /></div><div align="center">This picture was taken Thanksgiving day in Essex. We had a wonderful meal that "couldn't be beat" with family! This picture is of me with my cousins Brooke, Alyson and Jessica. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560268551196462418" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1cFYjbVxAIY/TSoKyanXTVI/AAAAAAAABcA/Y9hNDkSAgFA/s320/2nd%2Bcousins.JPG" /></div><div align="center">Here is the next generation of cousins. My two with Brooke's three. </div><div align="center">Emily, Brady, Callie, Cameron and Emma. I took a lot of shots of these five kids and every one has some kind of crazy thing going on! I think this one Cameron was all done with pictures and telling me "no more!" </div><div align="center"><br /><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559144726620721698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy2NRFD2J__b6fTMZ80nCD-Pyb0r5Lwohb1wn-qIbBmEhGVHR1Zduz4v2RDCNwg9-VHru3iPfUEyzcqsAlbQmn_zColFgglL4FbtjQMm-kzdsr0i_p0Ax8m5Lr8PANGITfBQSpAeUti94/s320/Rachel+and+Callie+concert.JPG" />In December we had Emily's Holiday concert and Callie's Holiday concert. I didn't get any pictures of Emily's because the band was too far away to get a clear shot. Callie had her very first band concert! She even did a short demonstration of the trumpet by herself during the concert. The picture above is Callie with her friend Rachel.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559144713067189506" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1cFYjbVxAIY/TSYMqbVcVQI/AAAAAAAABbw/ybE3-5g1dsY/s320/trumpets.JPG" /> <p align="center">There is the trumpet section.

Anyone who played any kind of instrument could perform at the recital. Callie did a duet with her friend Rachel and a solo. I will try and get the videos uploaded. I am having a little trouble with that at the moment.<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559141878345668642" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1cFYjbVxAIY/TSYKFbLKmCI/AAAAAAAABbg/Pji8sHUkX-0/s320/Rachel%252C%2BCallie%2Band%2BMiss%2BSaranita.JPG" /><br />Here is Miss Saranita (band teacher) with Callie and Rachel.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559141874651052194" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1cFYjbVxAIY/TSYKFNaTOKI/AAAAAAAABbY/dkMHXBlIpK4/s320/Rachel%2Band%2BCallie%2Bat%2Brecital.JPG" />Here is Callie and Rachel again. Callie and Rachel met a few years ago through their friend Alexia. Todd went to graduate school with Rachel's dad. I met Rachel's mom, Shelley, through my friend, Lynn, Alexia's mom. As some of you remember Callie and Alexia became good friends in first grade. Alexia and her family moved to California a couple years ago. It seems like they have been gone forever!! We had to say a sad goodbye to Rachel and her family last week as they have now moved to Georgia. We miss them dearly and wish them the best in their new home!<br /><br />On to Christmas........<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559141866702022962" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1cFYjbVxAIY/TSYKEvzGqTI/AAAAAAAABbQ/2_OFdWTQJXs/s320/026.JPG" /> <div>Here is Todd and the girls reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas as he does every Christmas Eve.

It was so great to have them here!! We spent one day up in Portsmouth, NH, and another day down in Boston. We had so much fun with them. We even did some dancing with the Just Dance 2 for the Wii. What a riot!!! So much fun and a workout too!! Mama Ann even danced!!<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559132394632259474" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1cFYjbVxAIY/TSYBdZlsJ5I/AAAAAAAABaA/yd9FH1jIUw4/s320/Quincy%2BMarket.JPG" />After sleeping in a bit on Wed. and eating a huge breakfast at home, we headed down to Boston. We walked over to Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. We all got a yummy snack at Quincy Market. These next two pictures are of us sitting inside Quincy Market....or should I say Quincy Mawket!<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559132400537412338" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1cFYjbVxAIY/TSYBdvllovI/AAAAAAAABaI/dSiQK0hop7A/s320/All%2Bof%2Bus%2Bat%2BQuincy%2BMarket.JPG" />Todd, Emily, Me, Allison, Mama Ann, Callie and Papa Bob.<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559132411681149266" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1cFYjbVxAIY/TSYBeZGdkVI/AAAAAAAABaY/q3jTTKqVs6M/s320/Papa%2BBob%2Breading.JPG" />After Quincy Market we walked over to Faneuil Hall. We walked, sat and read while we were there. A lot of history there. The above picture if Papa Bob taking in all the information they had there.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559132404756818466" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1cFYjbVxAIY/TSYBd_TkqiI/AAAAAAAABaQ/dExugGqbRx8/s320/Fanuiel%2Bhall.JPG" /><br />Chillin' out in Faneuil Hall.....Emily, Todd, Callie, Allison and Mama Ann.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559134396575678178" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1cFYjbVxAIY/TSYDR7aMfuI/AAAAAAAABaw/_IOSWvahEfk/s320/Mikes%2Bpastries%2Bin%2Bthe%2BNorth%2B%2BEnd.JPG" />Then we walked down to the North End and stopped in at Mike's Pastries. Here is Todd, Allison and Emily standing inside Mike's. Not sure what Todd is doing. I think he is doing one of his many impersonations that always make us laugh.<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559134392828311570" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1cFYjbVxAIY/TSYDRtcwOBI/AAAAAAAABao/cN6_UFhQW2w/s320/Mama%2BAnn%2Band%2BPapa%2BBob%2Bin%2Bthe%2BNorth%2BEnd.JPG" /><br />Mama Ann and Papa Bob with their pastries.
