Category: Picture of the Day

This weekend Jacob heads back to Camp Wenonah for a weekend of fun. He’s so excited. We drop him off at the bus tomorrow at 530 so we had to make sure everything was packed tonight.

Today was a busy night for our little Violet with Dance class and Hockey School. Of course even with all the activities she found time to watch the older girls practice. 

Tonight after dinner the electronics went away and we pulled out some board games. So tonight’s picture of the day is one Melissa took of me and the kids as we played.

Tonight I finally got to see David Price pitch live. It was great game, with the Jays winning 4-2 extending their division lead to 3.5 games and closing the distance the league lead to 1.5 games. I’m loving September Baseball.

Today we have a picture of some of Violet’s homework. For an adult looking over the sheet the first thought is what’s the differences between the fishes patterns. For Violet it was, that one’s bigger.

As the we continue to gear up for the fall season of activities we’re seeing more and more overlap. Today we had Hockey then Dance, usually we’ll be going the other way round. I couldn’t help but snap this picture as we headed out of the arena.

Tonight I managed to get down to the Rogers Centre for the some Baseball. I was early so I needed to get some dinner at the park. It wasn’t a cheap burger, but one of the few times I’ve gotten food at the ball park that I enjoyed and didn’t feel like I was being ripped off.

Tonight we have a picture of Jacob’s spelling words used in sentences.

With everything going on this last week I haven’t had an opportunity to share some pictures of the kid’s school work. This year Violet is in grade run, so it means home work. Her first homework was Spelling words. Each day she has a different task to do with the words. I chose to take a picture of her sentence, I’m just so impressed with how well she is printing. What’s even better is watching the two of them sitting at the table after school both working on their homework. Perhaps in the coming weeks I can capture that as my picture of the day.

Today we said good-bye to Melissa’s dad. Funerals are always hard, but harder when it’s someone so close. I was amazed at how strong Melissa was throughout the process, and her eulogy brought a tear and a smile to every one there.  It’s a hard day to capture for my picture of the day. There are so many personal moments that don’t feel right to photograph let alone post on the internet. So when I was closing up the party room where the reception was held and looked out across the city and saw the beautify setting sun I knew how to remember the day. As we remember and mourn, we must remember that tomorrow there will be a new sun rise to light the day.
