Erica News....

Last we heard about Erica she was in A Christmas Carol, which was sold out for most of the shows and she actually ended up getting a few $$'s for her great job. After Christmas she was hard at work finishing up her 1st Semester in High School. She ended this semester with all 'A's and one B. We are so proud of her, she even A'ced her GEOMETRY FINAL and ended the class with an A. Uncle Doug knows how she fussed about this class in the beginning, so this is quite an accomplishment. Heading into Spring she will be auditioning for her high school musical, 'Anna Karenina' and then 'Sussical' through her community theater group. Also, starting her most challenging semester with both honors Civics and Communications rounding out her 1st high school year. Wish her Luck!

Nathan was in the building.....

Nate attended his first Penguin Hockey game! He has been asking to go and we were finally able to get some tickets. The icing on the cake was that the Penguins were playing the San Jose SHARKS! For those of you that don't know, Nate LOVES all things sharks, this made the game even more exciting to him. He had a great time cheering on both sides. Penguins won 3-2. LET's GO PENS!

Chuck E Cheese x2

The birthday season was upon us in the month of January. Two consecutive Saturdays spent at Chuck E Cheese, YES! Everyone survived without getting sick, other than parent headaches. Nate had fun and that is all that really matters! Here he is with Ethan, his friend from Kindergarten and Fall Soccer.

Lost Tooth #1

Nate lost his first tooth. He brought it home from school in a little yellow envelope. It was lost at lunchtime in the middle of eating his fruit snacks. The tooth fairy was very generous leaving him $5!

Frosty February!

We did some sledding on Sunday, it was a beautiful day, mid 30's and sunny!

Is it a GHOST!

Nope, just David Conrad, from Ghost Whisperer and Erica, sometimes I think she is the ghost! He was at Joseph-Beth Booksellers signing the new Ghost Whisperer book. He is a true 'burgher', loves the city and seems like a truly good person.

Happy New Year to ALL!

Wishing everyone the best 2009!
