Today after Violet’s Ballet and Jacob’s hockey the kids headed to a family birthday party with Nana. While they were off having fun, Papa and I got back to work putting together the ramp at their house. It was a nice afternoon to be working out side, and we managed to get a lot of the work …

POD: Swimming Adventure
After school today I faced a challenge I haven’t faced yet this fall. Friday night is swimming night, usually Melissa meets me at the pool and the two of us handle changing them. Tonight Melissa was working so it was just Jacob, Violet and Me. At times it was a bit of a challenge but …

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.
POD: Library Books
Today we have a picture of some of the Library books our family currently has out of the Toronto Public Library. To be fair most of them are my books, but the top two are for the kids. They headed to the library yesterday after school with their Nan and each picked out a book …

POD: Tools or Torture Instruments?
Today I had a trip to the dentist to fill a cavity, so it seemed like a picture of some of the tools the dentist would use on my mouth would make a great picture of the day.
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: Camping out with Toys
Today was a full day, with Violet’s ballet and Jacob’s hockey, plus a birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese. By the end of the days the kids were really tired, but wouldn’t admit it. So we headed to Violet’s room where Jacob read a bedtime store before they gathered there toys and curled up under their blankets …
