Catching Up: Fun with Family

-

Wow! I cannot believe my last blog was over three months ago! So much to catch up on that I will need a few blogs to cover everything! LOL!! 

I went back into my photos since my last blog and saved the ones to include in my blog updates! Here goes! 

We enjoyed our 5 year old grandson’s first year of ice hockey! He was obsessed with goal tending for a while; infatuated with the goalie equipment! He did quite well too! But most of the season he played defense, at times offense as well. He has come a long way since he first started! 




We enjoyed a game at my son’s high school, Proctor Academy! While there, I found that my son was added to the wall of alumni that played college hockey! How cool is that!



To end the hockey season, just this past weekend we went to a Portland Mariner’s game at the Cross Insurance Arena in Maine where my grandson’s hockey team played a scrimmage game prior to the Mariner’s game! They also went out on the ice with the Mariner’s during the National Anthem! So fun! 






My 3 year old granddaughter also went ice skating quite a few times this winter and did great! She does loves to skate! Both of my grandchildren also tried skiing for the first time! My grandson did terrific! He quickly learned the rope tow and was skiing independent within an hour! Must be from all of the ice skating! He was able to stop on a dime within a couple of tries! Amazing! My granddaughter? Well, she is only 3 years old so she didn’t get very far. She also kept laughing so hard because she loved it too much, LOL!! Maybe if she wasn’t laughing so much she would have been able to focus more! Next year she will likely be ready to learn! 

First time skiing for both! 



GiGi (me) also maintained our hill out back all winter for snow tubing! It was a lot of work to shovel excess snow off after every storm! Not bad for 60 years old! I even enjoyed some snow tubing myself! My grandchildren also had a ball!  LOL!! 


We and the grandkids also had some fun getting rides back up to the top on the 4-wheeler! 

It is just so awesome living on the same road as my son and his family! We are only 1.5 miles away! Love it! 👍❤️💕

    Wow! That's amazing that Ian is being honored as a permanent member of the alumni! That's pretty awesome! Now his son is following right in his footsteps too! The sledding looks like so much fun! I am sure you & Jerry are enjoying every moment with the grandbabies!

Catching Up: Wildlife

We have a couple of game cameras down at the bottom of the field. We totally enjoyed the wildlife that these cameras captured!  This cutie has been around since the fall after we cleared the field out back and got the grass growing! We call her Nibbles, as she loves nibbling on the grass!  I can always tell it’s Nibbles when I see the dark spot on her inner right rear leg!  We had so many deer during the winter rut season!  Meet Gaylord Faulker! The coolest buck around! After he shed his large antler at the end of the rut, Hubby found it! So cool! When you find sheds in the woods you don’t know the deer they came from. First time we actually know the deer that it came from! How cool is that.  Here’s his antler! If we could find his short antler, the package would be complete! Once the snow melts, I’ll be out there searching for it! It’s a tough one to find, though!  This was when he shed his large antler! The before and after photos!  Another before an...

Weekend Visit!

I went up to New Hampshire this weekend and took multiple photos! Great progress is being made with the house so it is ready for us to move into early June! In about one month we will be moving in! I just can’t believe it! It’s just too good to be true! Our dream of a log cabin is coming true! Having a mountain view, property on a mountain river and 12.55 acres is also a dream! But the best dream come true is living 1.5 miles up the road from my son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter! I will believe it on move in day! LOL! Oh, and another thing is that I get to keep my dream job too! While living here in eastern Connecticut, I have worked from home for a company in Rhode Island since August 2016, and I love my job! It was just approved on Thursday morning! Another dream is coming true! I know God has been helping me throughout all of this!  OK, time for photos!  This is my weathervane at my home in Connecticut:  As of yesterday afternoon, it is now behind my hom...

Latest Photos!

My son and his family went by our house in New Hampshire and we FaceTimed so we could see the house!  We weren’t able to get up to New Hampshire this weekend as we have been busy packing here to prepare for our move. My daughter-in-law also took some photos and a video and sent them to us. Here they are!  The glass doors have been installed in the bathroom shower units! Here’s the upstairs bathroom!  Here’s the downstairs bathroom!  They made a little more progress with the great room ceiling! They have to cut and treat the boards before they hang them. I believe this past week our contractor focused more on board prep. Once dry after treating them, installing them will be pretty quick!  Looks like the ceiling in the larger of the two downstairs bedrooms is done! I think this completes this bedroom as far as hanging tongue and groove pine wallboards! They will eventually add trim at the joints and around the window and will hang the closet and entry doors! ...
