A Bruins Month


Stephanie jokes that I have a 'Bruins drawer' (and I sort of do, where one of the drawers of my bed primarily stores Bruins gear). This made think of February as my 'Bruins month' since I went to 3 games in that 4-week period. On Saturday February 1st, Dad and I each had extra tickets and he invited Luke to the balcony seats and Ashley and I sat in the rafters to see them play the Rangers. Then, on the 25th for the Maple Leafs game Dad and I sat in the balcony and met up with William and Giller between periods. Finally, Luke and I went on the 27th and met up with Ashley and Eric who were also at the game (vs. the Islanders). Unfortunately, the Bruins lost all 3 of those games, so maybe I was a bad luck charm?

A Wintry Walk


A walk in the Reading woods followed by lunch at a "fancy restaurant" (read: Public Kitchen) is one of our favorite weekend activities. On this day the woods were snowy so we were bundled from head to toe.

A Wildcat Weekend with the Quines


Pete and Mags invited us up to Fin's house at Wildcat for a ski weekend in early February. Mum, Dad, Stephanie, and I arrived Friday afternoon, skied a full day Saturday, and left on Sunday morning. We had hoped to see William, Casey, Mardo, and Ouiser as they're up there nearly every weekend during ski season, but they weren't feeling well and headed home early. We had a fantastic weekend, with Pete, Mags, and Luke taking us to their favorite spots in North Conway like May Kelly's and Tuckerman's. I hope we can do it again!

The Bluey Experience & Other Assorted Experiences


We love Bluey so when Casey suggested an outing to the Bluey Experience at the Burlington Mall one weekend in January, Stephanie and I were quick to say yes. It ended up being a great thing that we had a ratio of 2 adults to one child in there because it was a bit chaotic inside (it felt like one of them was lost the entire time). We escaped the experience with all 6 Walkers that entered and headed to our (my) safe space, the Cheesecake Factory.
