It has been a while since we updated here. Everyone has been very busy with work, school, new arrivals in the hosehold and much other stuff. So I thiught I would post a small photoblog of some random happenings from this remote hamlet of Dracut, MA.
We attended a concert of the Nashoba Youth Orchestra last Monday night. Despite repeated inquiries I could not get anyone to tell me why they had 3 undertakers there. Anyhow, the concert was great, executed with great skill and precision. Such a musical feat only happens through effort, intense concentration, and great hair. I managed to catch a quick shot of this cute chick with her "Freedom Horn", taking a rest between rehearsals.
Mrs. A has been extremely busy, not only with the day to day tasks of keeping a large household running smoothly, but with other challanges like fixing furniture and getting beaten by Ray-Ray at chess.
And it came to pass that a great end-of-classes palooza sprung up at our house. The supplies where gathered. Cassie helped Drew primp for the event. All agreed that he looked dashing! Once the crowd arrived, SJ was honored with the first scoop, while everyone else looked on, waiting in anticipation. Drew made his sundae with an artistic swirl of chocholate sauce. Everybody enjoyed the snacks, in spite of finding the occasional hair in thier sundae. Ray could not have the ice cream, so he enjoyed a pop instead, while Ted was deeply contemplating his ice cream. The scene eventually degenerated into a rukus, with everyone daring Sven to eat some of the chocholate sauce, launching into a sort of Fear Factor thing. Sven rose to the challenge, cheered on by Teds. Word on the street has it that there even videos of the event. If they surface, we will make them available. Watch this space for more details! All in all, it was a Palooza! in the truest sense of the word, running late into the night.
All of the excitement around here caused Boo-Bah to fall ill, but he is recovering with treatment by Teddy.
Oh yes, the new arrival!! We are all most excited to announce the arrival for Baby Sheldon! He is still a bit shy. Comming originally from Chicago, he lived many years in New Jersey and spent many years in seclusion in New Ipswitch, NH. We all hope you will welcome him as just another member of the family!
