McCrare heard yesterday that he earned a spot on team New England which will compete at the All American Lacrosse National Classic sponsored by Brine, Warrior and Gatorade. Middle and high school kids from across the country are selected to regional teams that will compete July 1st – 8th in Maryland.
Last weekend McCrae was at Harvard showing his stuff in the net. Three hundred (300) kids will be selected for 12 teams that will compete for the national championship spot. Each team is coached by an NCAA lacrosse coach. So needless to say we know now what we will be doing for the 4th of July holiday. The middle school teams will compete from July 1st – 4th and in between games they will attend position specific clinics, nutrition and conditioning seminars run by NCAA athletes and coaches.
“You have been selected to join the 2011 National All Star Lacrosse Academy and New England team that will compete for a National Championship at the National Lacrosse Classic July 1-4, 2011 at the Maryland Soccerplex in Germantown, Maryland.
The 2011 National All Star Lacrosse Academy is directed by Ron Caputo, Assistant Coach at Duke University, NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Program. The purpose of the National All Star Lacrosse Academy is to provide deserving young players with exposure to some of the top NCAA college lacrosse coaches, post collegiate players and experts with a curriculum that includes instructional position clinics and informational break-out sessions that are geared to help players and families better prepare and more easily transition from middle to high school.”

Needless to say Dianne and I are very proud and excited for McCrae and cannot wait to be in Maryland. Go team New England.

McCrae takes third place in the monthly www.lax.com photo contest. The picture is from last summer at Lake George while playing for Topgun Lacrosse on the Littlenecks team. This was his first tournament with the Littlenecks. For more photos from the tournament go here.
We all took off for Park City for four days on the snow. What a great trip! About 18″ of snow fell while we were there. The third day provided some New England like weather with zero visibility, cold and windy. But the last day was one of those never to be forgotten ski days, warm due to the sun and 10″ of fresh powder.

Dianne and Casey Timm head off to San Fransisco. Saturday morning I got a picture of her coffee.
Now that is a nice cup of coffee. McCrae and I made homemade pasta, our plan is to make manicotti with the sauce and meatballs Dianne left for us.
Cody turns one.
McCrae and I went off to Killington for three days of boarding over the holiday weekend. Went up Sunday morning and came back after a day of shredding Tuesday. The weather was COLD! Very cold, -16 with the windchill. On a positive note it was sunny. The week before it was 60 so with all the melting it was a bit scratchy. Sunday was the worst. Sunday night and Monday night they did a great job grinding up the ice and packing back down. Tuesday was an amazing day. OH and we had the best burgers ever at Choices Restaurant on the Killington access road. Yes that was the name… Ignoring the name, if you want the best burger then you must go. See you at the top.
OH and of course you can get the video over at Smugmug as well. In a few weeks the whole family heads out to the Canyons in Park City. Check back for some more pictures and video.
One of our nannies from a long time ago, who currently lives in South Dakota, sent me this pics of snow out there way. WOW! We definitely don’t have it as bad as they do!

Feeding the gritters. The birds love the food but the squirrels also get theirs.
Cody wondering where to pee...
Weston gets blasted with another snow storm. This makes three in the last two weeks and they say there is another on the way. This storm dumped another 10″ on us on top of the 26″ we got over the last two storms.
Check out the pictures and videos of the day.
