November Happenings

Evan had another great soccer season.  It was one of those years when you win some and you lose some and most of all, just have a lot of fun.  Evan played on both offense and defense this year.  I think he liked both, but felt he was a better defender.  No matter what sport Evan plays, he goes all out.  He loves it!!  Here are some action shots.

Great ball awareness

Check out the intensity on that face



Always willing to go for the ball


Great season, Evan!!

We had given Nathan, for his birthday in June, his choice of a Broadway play to go see with us.  He chose Les Miserables because he had never seen it in NYC.  November 13 turned out to be a pretty big day for Nate.  He took his driving test in the morning and since it was an excused absence for that day, we headed up to New York for dinner and a show.  We had a great time!!  We decided on Junior's for dinner and it was delicious.  Then we headed over to the theater....well, after taking a few photos in Times Square.


The production was wonderful.  None of us had seen the new version of the play.  There were things about it that we liked better than the original, and things that we missed.  But the vocals were plain and simply amazing.  Loved it!!!


After the show we decided to head back to Juniors since we had seen some great cheesecake on the menu when we had dinner there, but were too full at that time.  

While we were waiting we saw a huge crowd gathered outside a stage entrance for the Elephant Man.  We decided to watch from our elevated platform outside Juniors to see if the star came out.
Sure enough, pretty soon, here came Bradley Cooper....pretty cool!!
Here is our fuzzy attempt at a picture of Mr. Cooper.  That's him in the backwards baseball cap, closest to the play posters.  Kinda fun.....  :)

We finally got in to Juniors for the cheesecake.....maybe waiting until after the show was not the best idea........

...but the cheesecake was delicious!!!!!!
It was a very fun outing with our boy who, all too soon, will be heading out on his mission.  
Happy Late Birthday, Nate!!

Here's a random shot that I thought I would include of Ginny.  No particular reason, I just thought it was a great picture of her.  We love our puppy!!

And a random of Nate....just for fun  :)

And a random of our Thanksgiving turkey.  Can't believe that the only picture from Thanksgiving is of our bird, but suffice it to say that we had a lovely time with our extended family, as always.  No kids came home, but we had Tracey and her family, Joe, Eloise, MaryLee, and Grandma Foulk join with our little family of four.  So much to be thankful for!!

  1. Looks like you had a blast. NYC looks like a ton of fun…and that cheesecake looks realllll yummy.
    I'm not sure why the random picture of Ginny was so funny to me, but I literally choked on the water that I was drinking as I read it. I guess I was just not expecting it :) Miss you guys! Love to see the updates you post.
