Today I bit the bullet and singed away my freedom for the next 3 years. That’s right I got a new Cell phone. I got a HTC Amaze from Telus. I usually would use a picture of the phone, or of my unboxing. But this picture makes me wonder who was more excited by my new phone, me or Jacob. I will be doing a right up on the phone in the coming weeks, but the one thing you can be sure of, is that my POD will get an upgrade with its 8 Mega pixel camera.
Tonight when heading to bed, Violet was upset and didn’t want to go to bed alone. So Jacob decided that he would camp out in her room tonight, so that she wouldn’t be alone. It’s such a sweet though I had to take a picture of it. He even brought his new Alarm clock into her room so they’d know when to get up.
Today we celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of the new year. It’s a time for looking back at the goals you set for the year that was and to set new goals for the year to come. But that will wait. For now it’s time to Celebrate. And though Melissa was working, the kids and I had a little party. Hopefully one year Melissa will be able to make it and we can enter in the new year as a family. neither of the kids had any of the champagne(Ginger Ale) today, but they loved the Chips, Cheetos and Candy.
Today we hae a picture of Violet enjoying one of her Christmas presents, it’s her Princes Castle. Watching her excitement when it came out of the box was priceless.
Today our family went to see Disney on Ice, both of the kids were excited to go, and for the most part weren’t disappointed by the show. Though I think Violet was a little disappointed she didn’t see Rapunzel.
This Morning we captured the best part of Christmas morning. The Surprise and Joy on a child’s face when he opens the perfect gift. There are tons of pictures, but it’s been a long day and I’m not up to posting them right now. As a bonus here is a video of the same moment captured in the Picture of the day.
Today after dinner Jacob asked if we were going to the Ice Trail. So a quick call to Nana and Papa and off we went for a bit of an evening skate. I’m always amazed at how well Jacob does on the ice. Today he tried to teach me to go backwards. He broke it down into 2 steps. Step one you stand like this (He was standing more or less like in the picture) Step to you go the opposite way.
I found my self standing in the Bloor Meat Market Ltd, while standing there admiring the selection of fresh meat I pulled out the camera and snapped today’s picture of the day. There was just something about the rows of meat that I wanted to capture. I also love the wood chips on the floor.
Today we have a picture of a neighbours christmas decorations. As I look over the picture I realise I didn’t do it justice. The glowing wraith is really quite striking when you seen it on a dark evening. The first day I saw it I new I wanted to capture it for my picture of the day. I just didn’t know which day that it’d be. Turns out today is the day.
It’s been suggested that this, might be a present for Jacob this Christmas. Well Jacob and Daddy, what I’m not sure is who would have more fun with it. When it was first suggest I thought that was cool, but Jacob is probably still to young for it. Of course now that I have had a chance to look at it, I know he’s to young for it, but I think we can make it work 😉
