Carly's Junior Prom 5/08

2008-05-20T15:18:00.000-07:00

This blog seems all about Carly~~says Eric. Carly's date to the Junior Prom was Ryan Clark, a friend. Pictures were taken with the Niantic River in the background and the prom was held at the Mystic Aquarium. We had to race home from an AAU basketball tournament in New Hampshire to make the dance. Carly looked beautiful and had a great time.

Carly's Basketball and Broken Nose

2008-05-20T15:01:00.000-07:00

What a great season Carly's high school basketball team had this year! The East Lyme Vikings made it all the way to the Championship game~IT WAS A BLAST. Carly's nose got broken in the first round of the playoffs. She played with it broken but with a mask. She was a warrior. Carly had surgery 2 days after the Championship game, and is still wearing a mask in her AAU season. We flew Eric home from Mizzou for the game. It was all good~except we lost in the Championship.

Eric and Nanci to Eatonville!!

2008-01-15T18:50:00.000-08:00

Eric and I went to Eatonville to check up on the family and to celebrate Saga's first birthday. We went January 9-13 and had a great time, even though Dad, Jeff, and Danny all had some awful bug that we are hoping we did not bring back to Connecticut! Mom fed us incredibly well and it was great catching up with everyone and the goings on of Eatonville. The deer were also feeding well at my parents house. Those deer fed almost everyday from their backyard, and stayed for an hour or two each time. Eric and I thought they were beautiful and mom and dad think they are a nuisance who are munching away on their gorgeous garden. Saga enjoyed her birthday and Eric and I were so glad to be there to celebrate with everyone. Saga and Gracie were a blast to be with--never a dull moment with those two.

Thought you'd like to see Carly with her driver's license which she got December 17th! Also, the group shot is her basketball team at our house--the chocolate fountain is a big hit.

Happy New Year!

Hello there! This is so exciting to start a blog..I've been dying to do this for a really long time..I have enjoyed Jan's and Katie's so much! First of all, I could not have done this without Eric. He is nearly at the end of his rope with me though~ last thing he said was, "You should really take a computer class," then walked out of the room quoting something from The Office (his favorite TV show and after this holiday vacation, also Carly and mine.) SO!! This should be fun!! It is my New Year's wish to get this going and here it is! I wanted to name our blog Love and Basketball, but Eric vetoed and typed The Thibault Family. We wish you all a very Happy New Year and without further ado....THE THIBAULT BLOG..aka LOVE AND BASKETBALL!
