Today was Halloween, a night the kids have looked forward to for months. Dressing up and collecting candy is a great way to spend an evening. We were out for a couple of hours and by the end Violet was unable to manage the walk between houses. At the end even Jacob was ready to …

POD: Before bed Gaming
This evening after getting ready for bed Jacob and I sat down for some PS3 gaming. Not wanting to send him to be with images of Modern Warfare we just played a few levels of Little Big Planet. It’s amazing to see how much better he’s getting with the controller. As I write this and …

POD: Little Ballerina
Today Violet’s Ballet class allowed the parents in for the last 10 minutes of class to see a little of what they have been doing these last few weeks. She was very excited to show Mommy and Daddy. It was great to see how much fun she has in her class. In November we’ll be …

POD: Look what I found!
Violet and Melissa headed out to Toys’r’us today to pick up a few things. While there Violet found herself a little horse to ride. It it wasn’t so big I think she might have found it under the tree Christmas morning.
POD: Preparing for Picture day
Tomorrow is picture day at Jacob’s school, so today we have a picture of Jacob in the chair at the local hair salon. I like the effect of the blurry hair dresser. It’s like she’s moving so fast I couldn’t capture her.

Sunday I took to the streets to compete in my second Half Marathon. The weather was nice and cool, and thankfully the rain held off. Running through the downtown and along the waterfront gave the race a feel of familiarity that I didn’t have during the mm. though having not really looked at the route …

POD: Half-Marathon Day (2:12:55)
Today I set out to compete in my second Half-Marathon. I finished in 2:12:55 a little slower than my first marathon back in may (POD: Half-Marathon Day (2:10:32)). The course for the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon was a flatter course then the Mississauga Marathon, so I’ll blame that for slower speed. In addition to running for the …

POD: Soup’s on
Today I finished the last of Monday’s bird. There is something nice about making a pot of soup from scratch.
