Today was Easter Sunday, and after our Egg hunt and Pancake breakfast it was time to dress up and head out to church. I captured this once the kids were ready to head out for the day. Once again I find myself wishing for more hours in the day. I promise I will catch up, and post some of the great pictures of the kids hunting for eggs in the next couple of days.

Today was another full day with lots of great pictures. The picture I’ve chosen is of Danny, Jacob and me at the Harry Rosen Spring Run-Off. It was taken after Danny and I had finished our 8k run but before Jacob had a run his 800m run. It was a great day with tons of pictures, that I didn’t have time to sort through during the day. I hope to have a separate post about the day soon.

Today I picked up my race kit for Saturday’s Harry Rosen Spring Run off. What was different about today is I also picked up Jacobs. Last year it was my first race ever, so I think it’s fitting that this year it will be Jacob’s first race ever. I’m also excited to see if Jacob is going to get interested in running. Today a 800m for in the future maybe we’ll run a Marathon togeather.

Today after school the kids had some fun in the playground at Jacob’s school. All Jacob wanted to do today was climb on the monkey bars, and while he climbed I captured today’s picture of the day. When I got home and reviewed my pictures, I was struck by the similarities between this picture and my picture of the day from a couple of weeks ago (POD: Enjoying the Spring weather).

POD: The Moon Daddy

After dinner tonight I headed to the park with the kids to enjoy the warm evening. While there I was pushing Violet on the swing and she pointed up to the sky and said the Moon Daddy. Looking up at the moon in the clear blue sky, I wished I had the SLR instead of just my cell phone to capture the moment. You see one of the things I want to learn, is how to take good pictures of the moon, and today would have been a great day to get started. Of course the first thing I realised when I stated taking a picture of the day is that you use the camera you have. I think I did a good job of capturing the moment with just my phone.

Today while Jacob did some math sheets Violet decided to draw a picture of the family.  You can see she drew her mommy (Top left) her Daddy (Top Right), her Brother bottom left and finally herself (Bottom Right). She also did one of our cat Chloe, but that didn’t make it into the picture. She was quite possessive of her art, I was lucky to get them setup like that long enough to get a picture.

POD: Final game of the year

Today was Jacob’s last hockey game of the year. His team came up just short of winning it all. Loosing the second game of the best of three 2-1. The winning goal was scored in the last minute of the first overtime. It was a great game to watch and though Jacob ended the season without a goal, he tried hard and had a few close shots. He did manage to get player of the game one week as well as an assist. Watching his improvement during the season has been great.
