Nearly four months of catching up. We went to my mom's in Phoenix in August yet again. Timing is everything. It was good pool weather needless to say, and I got to meet my niece, Madeline Ava Martindale, for the first time! She's a beautiful girl, and I miss her. It was a great trip.

Shortly after that, Libby began her Masters of Fine Arts program through Mass College of Art. The program involves four intensive four-week sessions in Provincetown, MA--one session each semester for two years. Thankfully, ALL of the grandparents rotated through to help me manage regular life while Libby enjoyed the flamboyant P-town and focused on painting. I didn't get as many pictures as I should have....

Finally, Luke's hockey began the last week of August! The video below is already remarkably old (from early October). Repetition is key for the kids, and it's simply amazing how quickly they learn. I'm still jealous and loving hockey. Look for #19.

Have a great Thanksgiving! We're thankful for all we've got...including our spare house in Newton. I'll hope to do one more before Christmas. Enjoy.
