Avery is 2!

Happy Birthday to Avery.  She got a shopping cart, a "computer' a few baby dolls, squeaky shoes, and an EAR INFECTION!.  Mommy also got sick, Daddy got a work promotion, and Trevor got a chance to handle some moments where he had to share the spotlight.  Happy Birthday Avery!

Thanksgiving in NC

Had a great trip to Uncle Warren and Aunt Julie's in NC.  We ran the Carrboro Gobble and Gorge (Trev ran the Little Turkey) and had a great time enjoying family time.  Avery was not so sure about the dude dressed up like a turkey...





Bronx Zoo

Insect Merry-Go-Round at the Bronx Zoo!  Good times!


First Snow of the Season

And right after Sandy, we got six inches of snow!!



"Super" Storm Sandy

October 29, 2012, hurricane met nor'easter and Sandy hit the area hard.  Wilton lost a lot of trees, and lost power around 5:30PM that Monday evening.  The Galligans got power back Friday evening around 7PM.  Lots of suffering in NY, NJ, CT and elsewhere, awful, awful storm.  We had an interesting week of eating in town, and nights by the fire.  Some time at the library, some time at the soft gym at the Y.  Trevor also gave a few weather reports as shows as a result.



Halloween 2012

Annual in-Town trick or treat.  Had a great time with the Alvarez family, and saw lots of friends.  Trevor was a scary blue monster and Avery was a cupcake.




Team Germany Soccer

Wound down a great season for Team Germany.  Daddy and Coach Kevin were great and my new friends Grewha, Cael, James, Charlie, Connor and Conor were all good teammates.  We won some and lost some, but we had a great time and were getting better and better.  Personally, I tried hard.  I went from scoring an "own goal" by mistake against Mexico, scoring a good goal in the shorthanded game against Japan, and scoring a honest-to-goodness legit tally against Spain the in the finale.  Hustle play, power through the defense  -- my signature move!




Pumpkin Carving



Rec Basketball Coaching

 Trev took the big whistle and coached 5/6 rec hoops again.  Great year, great run.
