POD: Hockey day in Toronto

From Picture of the Day 2013

Today was the first day of our kids hockey seasons. It was also Violet’s first game ever. Both did great and are very excited that the season has started. We spent around 4 hours in the rink today, and I’m thinking that will be a pretty normal Saturday.  I was pretty light with the camera today, only 200 pictures between the SLR and my Cell phone. I took a bunch and put together today’s picture of the day collage. I think it’s safe to say I’ll be doing something more with today’s pictures. Of course in the coming months I’ll have lots of Saturday hockey pictures.

POD: Jacob returns to the Ice

Today Jacob’s season of hockey started with a practice. It was great to watch how hard he tried for the entire hour of the practice.  Today we just had Jacob’s practice at 12:30. Next week both kids will have their first games, and we’re going to find ourselves spending a lot of  our Saturdays at the rink, some day’s starting as early as 7:30am.

POD: A Surprise for Melissa

From Picture of the Day 2013

This week Lynn and Dan came by and transformed our bedroom from a place to sleep to a room for use to share. From mounting our TV to the wall and hanging some of our art, it just looks so much nicer now. Thanks Lynn and Dan for all your help.  We surprised Melissa completely with the room and she loves the changes as much as I do.
