How to ride a bike

It is so fun when the teachers send home writing the kids have done.  I loved Sam's directions and drawing for this writing sample so I had to share it.   Happy bike riding!

Jazz action shot


This weekend was make dad and mom proud weekend. We started out with celebrating Sam's first hockey season. Boy does that kid love the sport. I get excited every time I watch him as he has that look of pride and excitement each practice. Now this week he gets to try out being goalie- he's been waiting all season for that.
Then today Dave and I went with Ellie to her dance competition. Although a bunch of screaming dance girls may not be Dave's favorite activity, he sure was proud of his daughter- the big hug and the grin on their faces after the first performance was priceless- nope didn't have the camera out for that moment. He did the video taping and I did the camera shots so lucky for you we have many pictures/video. Again the look on Ellie's face when she is dancing melts my heart as I know she is so happy and confident when she is out there. What a fun weekend! Now back to the work week and blowing snow. Spring anyone??

What a fun day! The kids got to skate onto the ice with music and lights just like our own Austin Bruins come out for games. Then came the announcements of each player and their medals.

Ellie's School Play

Ellie was in an afterschool play session for about 6 weeks.  The kids memorized the lines, helped with the set, and did two great little plays.   Last week I got to go watch her as Tiger in the MouseDeer and Tiger play.  I hope to get the video of the play on here soon too.
