Our Family

On Saturday Grandpa B, the boys, and I went to the Northwood Auto Show and also saw the end of the Northwood football game. Earlier in the week, Finn had received a letter from one of the Timberwolves' back-up quarterbacks (number 6, junior Eric Chrisinske) as part of the Timberwolves Kids Club. Finn was VERY excited to receive a letter from a quarterback. Well, after the game today, we went down on the field and met Eric. The boys had their picture taken with him. The later afternoon was spent watching the Tigers on TV with Grandpa B. The Tigers eliminated the Yankees! Tomorrow is the quarterly business meeting at church, so I spent a bunch of time today putting together the treasurer's report. Tonight, we watched the Vols whip the Bullodogs. Here are some photos:

Today was the big soccer game: Elliot's team played David's (a friend from church). Elliot's friend Justin was on the other team too. The Kickin' Chickens won 5-3, and Elliot scored twice. Several folks from Wheeler Road came to watch the game. Here are some photos:

Grandma and Grandpa Moore are in town this weekend, and Lisa is out of town at a church ladies' retreat. Elliot's soccer game this afternoon was in 50 deg F and rainy weather. After losing the first two games and tying the third, the Kickin' Chickens (in the rain today, they were known as the Ducks) finally won one today. 5 to 0. Elliot scored three goals!

A preview of Elliot's school picture:

Elliot's principal is moving to China with her husband, so that had a special "going-away" assembly on Friday. A couple of kids from each class were selected to say a few words about Mrs. Lipsitt. Elliot was one of the kids chosen. He was definitely a bit nervous, but Lisa whispered a promised reward of ice cream in his ear...and he made it through it. Here's some video:
