Category: Picture of the Day

Tonight I came home to find that Jacob had eaten at his Nan’s house but Violet had slept through dinner. So after pondering what to make for the two of us, I fired up the barbecue and through on some Hotdogs for her and a couple burgers for me. My goal this winter is to barbeque at least once a month, part of me would like to try for once a week.

Tonight when heading home from work I looked up and saw the moon through some clouds. I never thought that the picture I took could do it justice. I think it turned out pretty good

Today we setup Melissa’s old laptop on Jacob’s new desk to give him a real computer in his room. He was so excited to have a computer in there that he can play MineCraft on.

I have had a goatee as long as I can remember. This month I decided to try to grow a full beard. It’s not the first time I’ve tried. Though it was the first time that I kinda like the results. Of course Melissa isn’t a fan, so I’m left wondering if I should shave it off. And if I do shave should I take it all or go back to just the goatee.

Today we have a picture of Jacob and Violet taken during their outing with their Nan. After church they headed down town to check out the Christmas decorations around Nathan Phillips Square and the downtown. Today’s picture of the day is of them standing in front of Toronto’s official Christmas tree.

Today during the kids hockey the Marlies interrupted play to skate from their dressing room to the other end of the ice so they could go practice on the Maple Leafs practice rink. Today’s picture is from when they returned. Jacob’s line was on the ice at the time and it was cool to see the players high-fiving the little guys.

Sunday is the first Advent so our little Violet came home from school with this lovely Advent candle.

My little girl loves to draw, colour, and paint. In fact she loves most creative things. She produces so much Art that I’m a little ashamed to admit, sometimes I don’t really see it.  Today’s Picture of the Day is one of them. I’m not sure when she drew it, In fact I don’t know anything about it except that it’s been on the fridge for at least a few days, and that it’s a butterfly family.  I thought it was a great picture now that I’ve really seen it and wanted to share it with you all.

Tonight I have a picture of our ‘little’ puppy Ruby, I captured in our even playtime in the local playground.

Tonight I continued my November routine of heading to Starbucks with Jacob to do some writing. I haven’t managed to find my novel writing groove, but it’s been fun trying. Tonight I don’t want to write about my struggles, I want to write about Jacobs success. My little man hit 1000 words tonight. His writing has mostly been limited to our coffee shop writing sessions, so that he’s managed to write that much is very impressive. He still hopes to hit 2000, but with only 4 days left in November it will take a lot of work.
