Category: Fatherhood

Today was Jacob’s soccer night, and as I sat in the rain watching him I realized how proud I am. He goes out every game and tries hard. He really seems to like soccer, even with the other team kids him in the knee while going for the ball.

Today was Father’s Day and while I got some great art from both of my kids, Violet’s T-shirt just had to be my picture of the day. I hope all other fathers had a good of a father’s day as I did.

Today was the final day for Violet’s ball hockey. The 10 weeks have just flown by. Violet’s age group was more about skills development the games, so there was no Champions, but each team got to pose with the EMBHL Trophy. I wonder where they inspiration for the trophy design came from.

To was Jacob’s soccer skills. I captured this picture of Violet as we headed home from the field.

Today after practice Violet headed to a playground near the field with a friend for some play time. I captured today’s picture of the day while she played.

Today we headed down to ‘The Store’ to let Jacob turn his birthday gift cards into birthday presents. Of course ‘The Store’ is what my kids call Toys’r’us, and Jacob seems really happy with the different games he picked. Thanks everyone for making my boys 9th birthday so wonderful.

I wish I had managed to catch the moment itself, but I didn’t so I’ll have to settle this picture of Violet triumphantly holding her soccer ball after scoring first goal of the soccer season. I think it was the extra practice time we had during Jacob’s game that did it.

Tonight was Jacobs soccer game, while he played violet and I practiced a bit.

Today for my picture of the day I have a follow-up to a post from earlier in the week, POD: Harbour Front Art it seems that I shared only part of Jacob’s artwork. On Thursday I only shared the form, and not the print it created. So today I share the print. I must say it does look like a dragon.

Today was open house day at the kids summer camp. They day was great, and I will try to share more pictures. For now I thought this one of the sign outside of camp was great way to remember the day.
