Mr First Hockey Game

First Real Hockey Game

Ben and Dane got tickets to a Vancouver Giants hockey game for Christmas. At the tender age of almost 3 Ben stayed for the whole game. Apparently he was entertained by it too...until about the third period. At that point Callah and Ben played together. Speaking of hockey, Kevin (Callah's dad) bought her hockey gear. She prefers her bathing suit or ballet costume. Ben on the other hand hasn't taken off the hockey gear and was walking around yesterday telling me he is the "third base goalie."

Well Said. Well sung.

From the hymn "Make Me A Channel of Your Peace."

Sung at the funeral of Sargent Shriver.

Making Waffles, not Awfuls

Ben and I borrowed a waffle maker and had a fun making waffles for dinner one night last week when Dad had to work late. The video is a bit weird...I've never been much for film. However, Aunt Casey is here now and she is becoming an even bigger film buff. The video is so weird it didn't work. Coming soon...I hope.

Snow Day...back in November

I thought you'd enjoy these even a month or two late. Ben, Gideon, Levi, Dane and Tyler out in the snow

First Day of Preschool

As you can see we had a mixed face while getting ready for preschool. He went in without a hitch. But the pick up was a bit more challenging [read: he threw a fit for a good 45 mins because he didn't want to go home, "No I don't! I want to live at preschool."] Here is a little video too.

Hockey shots

Here are a few shots of Ben and Auntie and Dane playing hockey outside. Stay tuned for pictures of our first day at the new ice rink in our neighbourhood and of Aunt Casey's arrival in Vancouver!
