Today Melissa took the kids to get their uniforms for the summer of baseball. Unfortunately Jacob’s uniform wasn’t ready, but Violet and her best buddy Ben picked couldn’t wait to try on theirs.

With Jacob at Beavers Scouts Monday nights, Violet and I are using the time to have a little daddy daughter time. from hot chocolate at a local bakery to exploring some of the neighbourhood parks. It’s quite nice to spend some one on one time with my little girl. Today on the way back to pickup Jacob we passed a mural on the wall, she was quite interested in the hockey player. I think she recognized the Faustina logo on the kids jacket.

I want to take a moment to wish all the mothers out there a happy mothers day. For my picture of the day I have a shot of some of what the kids made for Melissa on this special day.

Today Jacob spent the day with his Nana and Papa, when I dropped him off I captured this picture of him bouncing around on their trampoline.

When I picked the kids up at school, they insisted on playing. I captured today’s picture of the day as Violet ran across the playground.

Today we have a picture of some school work I found in Violet’s bag after school. It took me a moment but I really like the N’s made with Newspapers.

So today I officially turn 37. Only 3 short years until the big 40… Well enough thinking about how old I am, let’s raise a glass and toast to the year that was and the year that will be. The last twelve months has had its ups and downs, but through it all I have my friends and family and I want to say thank you. I couldn’t have managed it all without you. Here’s hoping that we’re passed the rough patches and it will be smooth sailing for the coming year.
Today’s picture of the day is of the lovely presents that I received today from my little family.

Today I celebrated my impending birthday with friends. I want to thank Jen and Bill for hosting the evening. Everyone had a great time.

Today we have a picture of the kids Gloves and Helmets for their upcoming baseball season. They are both very excited to be starting to play in a couple of weeks. It will be interesting to see if any of Jacob’s hockey team is on his softball team. I know that Violet is looking forward to playing on a team with her buddy Ben.

Today we have a picture of Jacob’s school project, he worked really hard on it. From interviewing his Nan to colouring the flags. Not to mention writing out the definition of his name, and filling out his family tree. My only regret is I didn’t get any picture of him working on it.
