Spagetti, she could eat it for lunch and dinner every day.

Hockey Weekend

Gabe has really enjoyed Hockey this year and he has made so much progress. He has started to glide on his skates, mind you it's only with one foot, but it's a start. Periodically you will see him using both feet. There are certain drills he really likes, and others he surely tries to pass up.

Gabe is certainly one of the smaller kids on the team.

January Already.....

Wow - it's nearly half way through January of 2011. I'd like to say we've had lots of adventures, but really it's just been real life. Madi started gymnastics in the middle of December and she loves it. She started out with once a week, and was begging to be able to go at least twice a week, so we'll try it out in January and see how it works with everyone's schedules.

Gabe has been busy with hockey. I'm glad he enjoys it more than Madi did two years ago. Hockey season started in October and Gabe went through three pair of hockey skates before the end of November. I was worried we would see him through five or six pair before the end of the season, but thank heavens we haven't....so far anyway.

Gabe has had a few struggles this season with working hard and listening to the coaches during practice. However, we found out that if you take TV (movies, video games, etc.) away for a week, he does much better. The last few practices he has really made some progress.

Tree Hunting

There hasn't been this much snow Christmas tree hunting before, it certainly made things more adventurous. We came prepared with snow shoes, sleds and cross-country skis, but we really relied on our husbands to find and cut trees this year. The kids had a great time sledding, making snow angels and berrying their heads in the snow.
