Today we have a picture of little Ruby hanging in her favourite place, at Melissa’s feet. She’s a good little puppy and it’s been an adventure adding her to our family. I’m just looking forward to the warmer weather so the night walks are more fun.

Today Ruby came home, so she was the star of the day. I took today’s picture of the day as Melissa was trying to get a good picture of our new puppy. Violet really loves Ruby and could have Mommy take a picture without her.

Today we headed out for a mini vacation at Great Wolf lodge with some good friends. The kids are loving it. Of course spending the day at the water park is exhausting so I’ll keep this short.

Today I have a picture of Ruby and Porsche taken by Lynn. Our little Ruby will be coming home Sunday. So this is the first of what will be many puppy pictures in the weeks and months to come. Don’t worry even with the puppy pictures I’m sure the blog wont go completely to the dogs.

We started our day off with the kids hockey practice, Jacob at 8 and Violet at 9. Today’s picture of the day is of Violet waiting to hit the ice for her practice. It was fun to watch the kids at their different practices. They both try so hard and it always amazes me how much better they have gotten over the course of the season.

Today after hockey we did some shopping with Aunty Suzanne and Nat. Violet adores Nate so I had to use this picture of the two of them for today’s picture of the day .

This morning after breakfast the kids got to open their Valentine’s presents from Melissa and me. It was fun to watch them opening them up.

Tonight before the kids headed off to bed we sat down and wrote out Valentine’s for their classes. It was fun to watch them each filling out the cards for their classmates.

Tonight after dinner the kids cleared the table, and out came the Monopoly Junior. It was fun sitting around the table as a family playing a board game. I really think we should do it more often. I wonder what game we will play next time.

Today the kids brought home their report cards, it’s the first year where we don’t have a parent teach conference to go with the report card. My picture of the day is from Violet’s report card. I think it’s of our family or maybe her friends. I didn’t get a chance to ask her as I got home after she was in bed tonight. Both kids had great report cards, I’m so proud of how both of them embrace school. I hope they never loose the love of school and learning.
