A new season

Basketball has begun. The Middle School Girls' team has an A and B team. All of the 6th graders made the B team, so that is the team Zoe is on. Zoe loves playing basketball, so she is excited that the season has begun.

Emily is participating in a basketball fundraiser that the High School National Honor Society is hosting. The fundraiser is for the Angel Tree, so the Society is raising money to buy Christmas presents for struggling families in the community. For $10, 3rd and 4th graders get together for 4 Saturdays for 2 hours to practice basketball skills. $10 is a bargain and what a great fundraiser to be involved in!

Matt and I took Noah to see a specialist in Portland yesterday. Nothing major going on. Noah was unable to get circumcised when he was born due to a minor issue. We took him to a specialist in Bangor over a year ago, but Matt didn't get a good feeling about the specialist, so we decided to see a different specialist. The closest specialist not in Bangor is in Portland, so we kept putting off making an appointment. Well, Noah is 2 and he's getting a bit old to have this done, but it will be done in January in Portland.

We stopped at Bugaboo Creek on the way home, which was fun. It was nice to spend some alone time with Noah. He is so sweet, cute, and fun!

We have kept Eleanor home from school since last Monday. She has been good about being home. Eleanor's teacher has sent work home for Eleanor to do, so she won't be too far behind when she goes back. Yesterday was the first day that I haven't seen any lice in her hair while doing a lice check. That is encouraging. I think we'll end up keeping her home the rest of this week and hopefully she'll be back to school on Monday.
