Today Violet had her yearly checkup, it should have been back in January but life got in the way of scheduling the appointment soon. So today Violet and Daddy headed off to the doctors. She wasn’t in the mood from the get go, and though I thought she’d calmed down by the time we got to the doctor’s office. Unfortunately once we got into the room to wait to see our doctor she wanted to go home. I tried to calm her down by showing her the cat clock on the wall. It didn’t work, but I did get this great picture. I have to say that it was one of the hardest doctor’s visits I’ve had with either of the kids, I’m just glad there was no needles today.
Our picture tonight, is a little blurry, I took it with my front facing camera in lot light. It was just such a great picture of Jacob on my lap reading that I cleaned it up a little bit and there you have it. He’s ready this weeks book for school. It astounds me how well he reads.
We as a family headed out to enjoy the sunshine today. Jacob had an adventure with Nan, while the rest of the family did some shopping before heading to the park for some fun. Our picture today is of Violet waiting for her daddy to help her slide down the pole at the big playground near our house. It was nice to be able to spend the afternoon out at the park with the kids. It’s just the first of many afternoon’s well spend enjoying the warm weather during the coming summer.

It was a hard game for his team, they played the third game of their first round series Friday night at 7:30 and were back on the Ice today at 11:30. He’s team played hard, but in the end they fell 4-3. The other team winning it on the last shift. Today’s picture is of Jacob getting on the Ice for his second shift of the game.

On our trip to the mall the other night (POD: Shopped out!) we picked up a new pair of shoe’s for Jacob. I wasn’t sure if he’d like the higher cut, but when he saw the lights on the side he had to have them. I’m happy to say after a couple of days he still loves them. Now if they last as long as his last pair of Geox, mommy and daddy will be happy.
Today we headed out to the mall to look for new shoe’s for Jacob and some other things for our upcoming vacation. I captured this picture during our outing. I think Violet’s had enough shopping for one night.
Today filling the bath for the kids, I watched as there two little ducks fought through the bubbles to float at the surface of the tub. It was a neat moment so I snapped a picture for my picture of the day. As I look at it now it I can’t help but think how it’s the little moments that for the most interesting memories.
Today felt like a summer day, so our little family spent most of the morning and a good chunk of the afternoon enjoying it. My picture of the day is Violet showing off her Hockey skills. On day’s like this it’s so hard to pick which picture to use, but after yesterday’s hockey picture I thought I’d show off Violet’s growing love of the game too.

Today was Jacob’s second play-off game, his team won the first one and a win today would have put them in the finals. I captured this picture while he waited to head out onto the ice. Unfortunately his team couldn’t over come playing 4 players down, 2 on each line. They tried hard, coming back from a 3 goal defecate to tie it at 5-5 before the other team won the game on the final shift. They play a tie breaker game Friday to see who will go for the championship.
Walking along the Parking barriers is something every kids does, I know I did it when I was a kid, still do on occasion. For little kids it’s sometimes hard so often both my kids would hold onto my hand while they walked along. I don’t remember when Jacob stopped needing to hold my hand, but tonight Violet managed to do it on her own. It seems my little girl is growing up. At least I can take some comfort in the fact that she still needed me to keep her stead when she fist stepped onto the barrier.
