Category: Picture of the Day

Tonight we had our last visit with Melissa’s dad. Tomorrow morning we say good-bye for the last time. It is a hard time, made easier with friends and family. Thank you to all who came tonight and will come tomorrow.

Today Nate celebrated his 5th birthday.  There are some many things I want to say, but the words aren’t coming so I’ll end today’s post with a simple; Happy Birthday Nate.

You can tell the winter is coming as my blog gets over taken with kids hockey pictures. Today we have Violet at her Tyke evaluation skate.

With everything else going on the week if was easy to forget that it was also the kids first week of school. So tonight we have a picture of the kids new agendas. VTO Jacob it’s old news, but Violet was so excited to have am agenda of her own.

A couple of nights ago I headed out to pick up a few last-minute lunch supplies for the kids. While there I bought Melissa some roses to give her something pretty to wake up too. Little did I know how hard the next few days would be for he. I hope my little surprise brought some comfort during this hard time.

Tonight was Violet’s first hockey school after regular school and while it was a long day, she tried hard and did a great job.

Today the kids headed back to school. Violet enters the first grade and Jacob moves on to the fourth. Time seems to be flying by for my little ones. The best news of the day was that Violet is in a 1/2 split, instead of the SK/1 we feared all summer.

Today was the last day of the summer. It has been a great summer with lots of fun activities. It do was a bit more laid back, with our little family having a relaxing day wrapping up the last things we needed to do before school starts tomorrow. Of course we found some time to enjoy the warm weather, with a trip to a park where I captured today’s picture of the day.

I spent this afternoon sitting in the sun at the Rogers Centre watching the Blue Jays win their 78th game of the year, to maintain their 1.5 game lead on the Yankees in the American League East. It was great to be at the game with 46,000+ other fans, and that we could be seeing playoff baseball in this city for the first time since they won it all back to back in 92-93. It’s been just amazing and as a long time fan, regardless of their record, it’s great to see games that matter in september.

Today we headed down to the CNE for a day of family fun. It was hot and crowded but the kids seemed to enjoy the day. I didn’t manage t try the Spagetti and Meatball burger, but did have the Thanksgiving waffle.
