Here's a pic of the last day of being four, and a picture of the mom, that William took. He's getting good with the camera, even though it is a big as his head

New Hobbies

Emma's mom — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 21:18:00 -0400

There is a lot of excitement as the kids try some new and old things. William is starting hockey lessons. Emma did some parks and rec karate today that she says she likes more than ballet!

And Lizzie is starting violin (at her request, not mine) and today she got fitted for the tiniest violin

And just so there is no question later, here is the record of her natural ability as lessons start tomorrow. The song "Est-ce que, je peux aller aux toilettes" is her teachers invention, as a way to teach basic phrases in French.

Fall in the Country

We spent the day in the country with Mike reliving his glory days back at his rink. Notice Ms. CNE, a former girlfriend. Notice the gleam in his eye by the home team's bench. The kids took in the rides, then the demolishion derby and finally the country market.

Mystery Hill

Our friends Linda and Seb built a beautiful house for their friends and family to enjoy (well, maybe not just for us but it sure felt like it). We had a good three days there in August.

The boy had a great spring playing ball hockey. Here are a few pics of the boy at the face off and playing his position.

Of course, the game has its share of dads

And debates and discussions

And fans

And handshakes

And the post game snack with the fans

The Supers and the Royal Wedding

Emma's mom — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 22:04:00 -0400

We didn't get up for the wedding today. It didn't seem like such a good idea when I didn't get to bed until 2:00 a.m. last night after working/thinking. And while the girls are interested in their princesses, they all love their Supers. - you remember the wonder woman song "in your satin tights, fighting for our rights" and "stop a bullet cold, make the axis fold, change their minds and change the world". http://youtu.be/M_blOQEu9ws So here are our Supers - karate girl, ketchup girl (she can squirt ketchup from her eyes and fingers) and speedman. Recorded on this big day.
