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: 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 …

POD: Going for a Joyride…
Today I have a picture of my little girl trying to get on Jacob’s bike and take it for a spin… I think she’s still a little small for that.
POD: Taking the Faceoff
Today was Jacob’s last day of Future Stars and the usual lesson was replaced with a practice game. It was fun to watch the kids skate around. At times Jacob trailed the play, but as you can see in the picture of the day, at other times he was right in the thick of things. …

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 …

POD: Overnight in the ER
Today’s picture of the day is probably the earliest I’ve taken once since I started taking a picture every day. I took it last night while Jacob was in the ER, he was just falling asleep after they had taken some blood to run tests. They left the needle in, just in case they needed more blood …

POD: Isolation
Tonight we have a picture of the sign on the outside of the emergency room door, that Melissa, Jacob and I have spent the last couple of hours in. Our little guy has a hives/rash that nobody seems to know what is. So here we sit waiting to find out what to do to make …
