It finally feels like winter in New Hampshire...WE GOT SNOW!!!!


It's been a busy few weeks with sports, classes, snowball fights, snow football, birthdays and much more excitement. These first few pictures were taken at a very exciting Proctor vs. Tilton ice hockey game. The student support was tremendous!


Eric looks on...


Alex Bertrand is joined by two friends, Alex and Alice...


Parents (and boys) - if you ever have any photos to share of sporting events, your son and his friends, or perhaps an adventures from over vacation, please feel free to pass them along to me to include in our blog!

Harris continues to work very hard at wrestling. His dad, Neville, has passed on a couple pictures to share from a recent match.


Here Harris' arm is raised in VICTORY! Excellent job Harris!


After receiving over a foot of snow on Wednesday, Scott took almost the entire dorm outside to play some tackle snow football. Despite the wind gusts of 40 mph and the freezing temperatures, the boys had a blast. I went out to try to capture the action and this is all I got...it was too snowy and windy to see a thing!


Harris gave two thumbs up for the snowy game...


John was FREEZING! He came tromping into the building with ice cold hands and ears...he had NO gloves and NO hat!!!


Gardner was definitely dressed for the weather a bit better...


I barely captured some action from the doorway as the boys made their way back towards MLS...


Will, Jaguar and Andrew enjoying the snow...


Despite the cold, Henry and Pete were in good spirits...


Will and Bobby enjoying a warm dorm...


The whole group together after the big game...




Harris was having a little trouble getting his hat off...


Jaguar likes Bobby's onesie...


Gardner, Bobby and Jaguar keep themselves entertained while they wait for hot chocolate to be ready...


Mark, Nick and Scott hanging out on the new green couch...


Pete was pretty happy with his hot chocolate, but not with his injured hand!


Wednesday was a great day, not only for the snow and the football, but because it was Valentine's Day. The McNamee family sent us some delicious Valentine's cookies to enjoy! Thank you!!!


Many of the boys also received Carnations. Some were from advisors or teachers, others from friends, and some were lucky enough to have a secret admirer or two!


Thursday was also a very special day for a certain someone in our dorm...It was Gardner's birthday!


Gardner's parents helped to celebrate his birthday by buying a huge cake for the dorm to share!


Mark Woo enjoyed his cake...


...as did Mark Tremblay...


Henry got a nice big slice...


Dylan being crazy...


Rob was a little sad because he doesn't like chocolate! (It's ok Rob...I don't either!)


Andrew (with a mouthful) and Cole...


Sam got back from the Library just in time for a slice...


Our fearless leader continues to be a great asset to this dorm...Keep up the awesome work Will!


Overall we've had a great couple of weeks in MLS. Lots of laughter, and spring break is just around the corner...
