Pinewood Derby Winner

Brayden and Papa made his car for the Pinewood Derby.
Of course it was a bucket truck with a tool box and a little man inside.
Brayden was in the non-scout catergory. Our cubs let all others who
want to race, race after the official race. It is nice of them to let
everyone share in the fun. Lucas was the official cub winner and
then Brayden as the other winner got to race against Lucas and
Brayden was the winner. After we had prepped him the whole time
that it wasn't about winning but having fun. Everyone was so good
helping him enjoy the moment, especially because he is just visiting.
Way to go Goshen troop. It was a fun night for everyone.

Beautiful warmth of California or

the frigid cold of Connecticut, I'm

longing for the warmth......

Happy New Year

Cade came the weekend before Christmas and he was so sick. He did like
sitting on the counter and washing dishes with Geeda. He did not want to
get down, he held on like a little monkey when we tried to get him down.
This is the same counter I sat on with my grandmother doing dishes and my
own girls sat and helped years ago.


This is Levi, I can't believe he is so big, he
is already crawling. I can't wait to see
them all.

BACK TO CAMP

I had said I would make this a site to show everyone what
camp was like and to keep everyone up to date on the Ganoes,
so here is a clip of one of the activities that the little
and big boys love... my father in law always had a tire
swing in New York when my girls were little, they have
great memories of it, riding with all their cousins, we
wanted to pass on that tradition, and now their boys
will have that same memory of a tire swing at Papas
with all their cousins. We have fit LOTS of kids on this
swing at the same time.. Everyone loves it.

Fun in the Fall

It was a fun weekend with Cade here. Papa had left a
big pile of leaves for him to play in. He loved to
swing and just wanted to be outside. It started to rain
shortly after we took these pictures and he didn't want
to go in.


Cade and his mom take a flight. He loved it....

You can see by the look on his face how much

he loved playing at camp geedapapa, and papa had

the same look on his face the whole time he was here.

This is why I live in the East

It's not an illusion, this is the way it goes, the water was
so clear, it was so beautiful, the picture doesn't do the
red justice.



Nothing like country roads

The only thing better than a beautiful fall
day in New England is having seven boys
here to enjoy it. I'll have to settle for
half of the equation.

STAGES OF CLEAN UP

Looking up into the ceiling at one of several spots, the board exposed is the
living room, it had gone through all the flooring, again
a blessing it didn't break through to the carpet.

This is outside the basement door, this
doorway was as black as it is in the
picture, but with smoke, so that I couldn't
see Jeff when he was inside keeping water on it.


Some of our helpers, Jim Pasternak, Rob Puida.
They helped start the painting process.

Looks different white.

Ben Jacobs spent a day painting, what a day to spend
a beautiful Saturday... thanks to all the great helpers.
Seems so much better now, we are so grateful.
