Today was Violet’s second Dance Recital so it’s only fitting that she had two numbers instead of just one. Of course it was a long day and I’m to tired to share more than just this Family shot. Perhaps in a couple of day’s I can share more from this wonderful day.

Today when I went to the mail box there was a surprise waiting for me. I’m not sure what’s in it, but it’s from Violet, it’s something her preschool did while learning about the post office. Considering that Sunday is Father’s day think I’ll wait to see what’s inside my special letter.

Today Violet’s pre-school headed to the local Fire Station for a tour. From all the picture Melissa took it looked like the class had fun. I just loved this picture of Violet sitting in the fire truck made me smiled so I thought it’d be a perfect Picture of the day. I’m happy to report that yesterday’s picture of the day was a hit with the kids, and I promise I’ll post a picture of Jacob’s hair cut soon.

For a while we’ve been trying to decide what to do with Jacob’s hair. He insisted he didn’t want a buzz cut, but today that change. So Papa came over with his clippers and buzzed Jacobs hair. Thanks Papa for cutting his hair before he had a chance to change his mind again.

Today Jacob turned 7 and so we celebrated with family, friends and a bunch of kids. Instead of going over the 400+ pictures I thought I’d use this animated give of Jacob excited about being for as my pod.
POD: Rehearsal Day
 |
| From Picture of the Day 2013 |
Today was rehearsal day at Violet’s ballet studio, the last practice before they head to the big stage for one rehearsal next Friday and two shows Saturday. Today was a long day at the ballet studio, Violet’s has a number in both halves of the show, so we had to there all day, but at the same time we had so much to do for Jacob’s 7th birthday party tomorrow. First Jacob spent the day with his Nana and Papa, while Melissa and I went to ballet. After half a day at of waiting, Melissa headed home to work on the party while I hung out waiting for Violet to be finished at dance. It worked out great in the end. The party prep went great and Violet rocked her rehearsals.
POD: Violet’s new helmet

| From Picture of the Day 2013 |
This evening our little family went in different directions. Jacob went to dinner and a movie with his uncle, Violet hang out with Nana and Papa, while Melissa and I headed to the Rogers Centre for a Blue Jay’s Game. I have seen pictures from each of those events so picking a picture of the day was a challenge. This picture of Violet showing off her new bike helmet that her Nana and Papa got her, just made me smile.
