Jane plays field hockey

Jane decided to try a new sport this fall and went out for field hockey at school. She at one point was one of six 6th grade managers - but she was the only one who actually showed up consistently at practices and games and worked hard!

She got to practice with the team, but during games she had to do the score book and water.

With the other managers one day early on when they all showed up:

Chick fil A and Menchies date with a friend after a game:

Lots of good bus time on their many trips to the Middle Penninsula:

And proof of life from another mom when the girls accidentally got left in Gloucester by the bus (due to a tragedy of errors).

Go Hawks! They ended the season with 3 wins - basically the entire team besides one girl was brand new to the sport. There are two returning 7th graders next year, along with whichever of the managers decides to play again.

Middle school dance

Eleanor and Jane recently went to their middle school's fall dance! Eleanor had a group of friends she got ready with. She wasn't at our house so I had to rely on pictures she sent me. They had a sleepover and had a great time! This is her last fall middle school dance!

This was Jane's first middle school dance! She invited a friend over to get ready with her. 

The girls had pizza for dinner while they got ready.

I think Jane and her friend Annie had a great time. They came home in a great mood!

I just love these girls!

Jane's birthday

Jane's birthday was lovely! We started the weekend prior when she had a sleepover with her friends. They started with minute to win it games:

Then they crafted:

They had ice cream sundaes and pizza for dinner:

Then they watched a movie (Wonder) and had a sleepover:

The next morning it was off to church:

On Sunday Grandma took her shopping! This is a fun tradition Grandma started years ago with Eleanor and now every kid wants to do it and so looks forward to it each birthday.

On Monday night I took my "last picture with my 10 year old!"

She woke up Tuesday morning to balloons!

It was a loooong day of school and field hockey. We decided skipping soccer was a good call so we would have time for presents, dinner, and cake! She came home to her birthday string:

Grandma was hiding on the string to surprise her:

Presents!

She loves her lacrosse shirt and blanket from Grammy and Opa!

And a label maker - Jane loves being organized!

We had penne for dinner and then it was time for cake! Strawberry with chocolate icing.

Jane, very dedicated getting the candles right. We counted twice after Eleanor put the wrong number on her own cake a couple weeks ago, hah!

Happy birthday, Jane!

We love this sweet girl!

Jane and Chris went out to breakfast on Saturday after her birthday!

Happy 11th birthday to our sweet Janer!
