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: Ontario Votes
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: Evening Sky
Today we have an attempt at an artistic photo. As I was outside with the kids tonight I looked up at the sky and thought it looked pretty cool and I thought it was a great time to try a new app I got on my phone, HDR Camera.
POD: Getting Nails Done
TOday we have a picture of Young Violet getting Sparkly polish on her nails. While her and mommy where out at the salon before swimming tonight. Of course being 2 and 9 months old she didn’t keep it on her nails long and the person doing Violet’s nails is actually one of Melissa’s co-workers.
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 …

POD: Smile!
Today was my day for working from home, and while Jacob was at school I was working at the computer and Violet came up to me and gave me the cutest smile. I reached for my phone to try to capture it. It took a few dozen tries, but I finally got her to hold …

POD: Weekend Homework
Today after our morning Future Stars and a walk through the local street festival we returned home and Jacob did some homework. It’s amazing him to watch him work through both the language and number problems. His writing is getting so much better and it seems like every other day he’s picking up a new math …
