Today we have a picture of the Most important women in my life. Someone who I don’t praise enough and I probably don’t deserve. She’s always there for me and the kids and doesn’t get the credit she deserve. So tonight I thought I’d share her picture and say I love you honey, and our family would be lost without you.
Yesterday the Morning the kids came down stairs to find our Christmas Elf sitting on the tree hanging a new ornament. I didn’t take a picture at the time , but tonight I thought I would share the ornament as today’s picture of the day.
Today was skating day for the kids, Violet’s in learn to skate and Jacob has hockey skills. The kids love there Thursday nights skating with Nana and Papa. Afterwards Violet showed them that she’s ready to play hockey by pulling Jacob’s hockey bag into the house.
Today the kids and I headed to Trillium Hospital for a pre-op tour for Violet’s coming surgery to remove her tonsils and adenoids. I took this picture as we waited for the tour to begin. Violet was colouring and Jacob was trying to remember and write some of the french words he’s learned this year at school. The tour itself was interesting, Violet was her shy self, though she did seem to come out of her shell once in a while. She wouldn’t put the oxygen monitor on her finger, or the blood presser cuff. She did put a cuff on one of the nurses. When it came time to go on the tour she was at the front of the group and was very interested. what I’m not sure if it will help her when it times to go in on monday for the actual surgery.
For a picture of the day I have a little collage of Violet I took on the way home from pre-school. As we walked she picked up a stick and started to play it like a flute. It’s not the first time she’s did it, but it was so cute I had to capture it. I just wish I’d grabbed a video so you could have heard her song.
Today while waiting for Jacob at lunch Violet decided to play a little bit of Hopscotch. It was fun watching her through her new Rock ‘Jacob’ and trying to hop through the board. She was having such a fun time she didn’t want to stop when the bell rang and we had to go get Jacob.
Today the family decorated the tree. The kids wanted to do it yesterday, but with all the other activities we didn’t get a chance. So today before dinner we pulled out the ornaments and started to decorate.

As I predicted in yesterday’s POD, today we had snow. It didn’t arrive until later in the day, and it never really felt like it was snowing. Though the kids didn’t mind that before heading to bed tonight they got to play in the snow.
Today as I walked to work I saw a sight I really didn’t expect for another couple of weeks. I saw snow on the ground. Sure it wasn’t there on my way home, but it was there in the morning. Of course looking at the weather tonight, it’s possible there will be a lot more snore when I wake up tomorrow.
Today we have a picture that show’s Melissa’s weight loss in a very real way. What we have is two pairs of her Jeans, the bottoms are from the before time, the top are her current skinny Jeans that are already getting to big for her. For people who are curious about the sizes, they are a 32 and 12.
