More Fall Fun

James has enjoyed playing in the fallen leaves this autumn. Fortunately, we live in a neighborhood with no shortage of this resource...in fact, if we hadn't raked the yard 59 times already, we'd be digging tunnels to get out the door (which James would probably enjoy). We had fun playing in a pile in the backyard last week-end!

James and I have also enjoyed a good deal of hockey lately. It's the sport I grew up with -- both playing and listening to the Buffalo Sabres. James has watched a few games with me on TV (of course getting treated to a later bed time if the game ran late) and we went to an ISU game a few weeks back. It was a happy moment to sit on the cold bleachers, sipping hot chocolate, smelling the ice (or whatever that ice rink smell is), and enjoying the game with my son. When we got there, the first thing he asked was, "Where are the Sabres?" The video is him playing goalie with Becky -- notice that he says that he's the "Buffaloes" (=Buffalo Sabres) and Becky is "the bad guys" (which is how I describe whoever Buffalo happens to be playing).
