Today we have a picture of Jacob showing off an invitation from one of his classmates. It’s the first School Birthday party my little man will be going too. I guess it’s just another one of life’s milestones.

POD: Sunday Dinner
Sunday dinner is a tradition that we as a family don’t get to share as often as I would like, between Melissa’s work schedule and life’s unexpected events. It’s hard to find time to sit down as a family and enjoy a Meal together. Tonight we did just that, with a delicious roast and potatoes.
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 …

Today was Election day in Ontario and so our little family headed out to the local polling station to cast our votes. Today I snapped a picture of Melissa casting her vote with the kids looking on. Instilling the need to vote in our kids is something Melissa and I feel very strongly about, so …

POD: Skating Backwards
I know that over the past month I’ve used a lot of pictures of Jacob skating for my picture of the day. And today I am again, though to be honest it’s not the photo that I really want to share. It’s the video, it’s the first time that I’ve seen Jacob skate backwards. The …

POD: Worksheets
Today we have another picture of one of Jacob’s worksheets. Watching him sitting at the table working away at them always makes me smile, and when I see how much better his writing and colouring has improved I know that we should be doing more worksheets. Just not sure if it should be every night …

POD: Dropping the Puck
Today Jacob had his first game of House league Hockey. It’s a day we’ve been looking forward to since Jacob first took to the ice. It’s great to see how excited he gets going to the rink, and it’s not all for the snacks he gets after the games. Its amazing home much his skating has improved …
