Unexpected event - Санаанд оромгүй явдал

Last Saturday, we had about 6 inch heavy snow and it caused a little damage to our house. The tree in the sidewalk split up and fell between our house and our neighbor in the north side. As a result, two windows and storm screen were broken and some roof damage to our neighbor' s house. We are not sure whether it had made some damage to our roof.

Өнгөрсөн хагас сайн өдөр нэгэн санамсаргүй явдал боллоо. Анхны цас орж, манай байшингийн өмнө байсан мод хугарч, манай гэрийн дээврийн орой дээр ойчлоо. Азаар нэг их хохирол амссангүй. Хойд талын 2 цонх л хагарсанаас өөр ноцтой хохирол амссангүй. Харин манай хөршийн дээврийн нэг булан нь нэлээн гэмтсэн. Улаан өнгийн дээвэртэй байшин нь манай байшин байгаа юм.

Fall in London

Last weekend was Halloween - definitely more of a low key affair in London. Ryan dressed up as Harry Potter and he went trick-or-treating with his friend, Penelope, on the fire escapes of the flats in her estate. We carved a jack-o'-lantern to let the kids know we were giving out candy. There were 4-5 groups of kids...not bad, but not the 1,000 we get in Denver.

Yesterday we went to see the 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' at the Little Angel Theatre (http://www.littleangeltheatre.com/lat/whatson/ontour/MTM5). Friday was Guy Fawkes day, so we have been listening to the booms, bangs, and shrieks of fireworks all weekend.

Oh When the Saints...

Here is a photo from the All Saints Mass at Holy Cross on Monday. You might recognize St. Cecelia in the second row from the top on the right side. She is the patron saint of music and is carrying a lyre, which unfortunately, you cannot see. Sorry!

Paul's First Mass

Paul served his first Mass today. It was really neat seeing him up on the altar. He remembered everything he was supposed to do and didn't drop the carafe of wine!

I am having trouble with the video. Maybe it will work for you. I will continue to work on it, but I wanted to get the word out!

Elizabeth's Game Winning Goal!

Here is a video of Elizabeth's game winning goal today.

The Holy Cross Crusader girls were playing in the 2nd game of the tournament after they won yesterday. (Elizabeth scored one of the three goals yesterday.) Today the girls were up 1-0 early in the game, but let St. Pius tie the game. The game ended in the 1-1 tie and they went into a shoot-out.

Coach Carrie chose 5 players to shoot and put Abbi in the goal. Holy Cross missed their first 2 kicks, and St. Pius made their first one but our goalie deflected the second. Both teams made the 3rd kick. St. Pius missed their 4th kick but Holy Cross made theirs. St. Pius made the 5th kick, but she had to re-kick it because she kicked before the whistle. She missed it! But, Holy Cross missed their 5th kick too.

The teams went into a sudden death shoot-out which means each team chose one player to kick. Coach Carrie chose Elizabeth. The video tells the rest of the story. Make sure you listen to Paul's commentary as Elizabeth runs away from the goal. Proud big brother.

I'm a really proud mom today too.
