Hockey is Officially Over for the Season
K's team won their first playoff game but, unfortunately did not win the next round. M's team placed in the top three teams from our District so they went on to Regions where they were able to win their first game and hang tough, but not tough enough to continue on. Both boys made incredible strides in their hockey skills this year, but more importantly their teamwork, leadership and interpersonal relationships were strengthened. Time to wash some stinky gear!
Earlier this winter
Daddy and the boys had gone to Mt. Kato downhill skiing for a Scout event. He and the boys had been a couple times last year too. Last year was the first time for the boys and the first time in about 20 years for Daddy. When they were skiing this year he called me and said, "I miss skiing with you." On a Saturday eve when we had nothing else planned (!) we went skiing. The moon was full, it was not windy and the temps were in the high teens. It was beautiful! and fun. I was terrified at first, I nearly threw up in the trees to my right but, it is sorta like riding a bike ( or a horse) it comes back to you and even though I hadn't been skiing in twenty something years we had a ball. Forgive the extreme closeup and black and white photos, all taken on my cell phone.

Happy 3rd Birthday Baby!
He seems a bit old for me to be calling him Baby. His birthday seems a good time to rename the characters on my blog. Big Brother will be known now as K, Little Brother as M, Big Sister as H, Little Sister as S and Baby as C. I'll more than likely forget a time or two so don't be dismayed! The first thing C did upon awakening was climb into his booster seat and ask for cake. I had to explain that we would have cake AFTER lunch (and it was only breakfast). The second thing he asked for was to open his presents. I had to explain to him that we would open them at lunch when Daddy and the boys got home from hockey games. As soon as Daddy walked in the house, C said, "packages, NOW!" I have to admit he was very patient for a three year old. He loved opening the packages, probably more so than what was actually in them. And we had cake and candles after lunch AND supper!
