Even though I didn’t really feel like doing anything, I knew that the kids didn’t want to have another day in the house, so I did something I don’t usually do, I laced up my skates and took the kids for a family skate. Jacob isn’t in the picture because he took the picture. It …

POD: Pretty Doggy
Our little family is still a bit under the weather, so we had a lazy day and that means I didn’t get any exciting pictures, thankfully Ruby posed for one.

While Violet wasn’t 100% she was well enough to play. If I was honest, I don’t know how sick she’d have to be to be willing to miss a game. The game was another close one. The dolphins won 1-0 ending the tournament with a 2-1-1 record.
POD: Fever
Tonight after day 2 of the tournament, which was a 4-1 loss, Violet’s illness roared back with a high fever. She’s been fighting it since last Friday and I think it was all the hockey that brought it back so strong. She’s doing ok and it seems to be just the flu / respiratory virus, but …

POD: At the Pets store
Today after school we headed out to do some of our final Christmas shopping. It’s not last-minute shopping, that’s reserved for Saturday. While picking Ruby’s present at Petsmart the kids each found a pet they wanted to bring home. While Jacob’s fish may one day find its way home, I don’t think we’ll ever be bringing home a …
