Happy belated birthday and congratulations to my Dad. His birthday was on Friday and he got a great present -- retirement! (I know, he's not totally retired and he'll get a job in Phoenix, but that was just more complicated than saying "congrats on your retirement!") They'll be on their way to Arizona very soon...

At Saturday's hockey game Gerard scored FOUR goals. Yes, you heard me right. FOUR. He was pumped after the first goal. Goal 2 was thrilling. Number 3? I didn't think it could get better than a hat trick. Then came number 4. FOUR. Wow. Sure, they don't play with goalies, but still we were so proud and he was SOOOO excited. It was definitely a record for him.

Next Saturday is his last game of the "season" and they're playing it on the ice where our [INSERT CITY NAME HERE] team plays. He's so excited. They may even announce the players and have music and everything, just like when the "real" team plays.

After the game on Saturday we took the kids to see Disney on Ice. Gerard knew we were going, but what he didn't know was that we were meeting his friend Luke who moved 2 hours away. The boys acted shy at first but after a few minutes they were their old selves again. It was definitely nice to hang out since we hadn't seen them since September.


Morgan was absolutely mezmerized, just as we expected. She barely moved during the first half (except when she was pointing in awe at the characters) and she actually danced in Gerard's lap during the second half. I only wish I could have videotaped her.



Gerard liked the Aladin act, the Incredibles and Toy Story. He got a Buzz Lightyear sword, which was one of the highlights for him.


After the show we went to a tapas restaurant for dinner. Yummy!

That's it for me for now. It's been a long weekened and I'm tired. This week is going to be busy, too, since my parents are coming on Tuesday and Debbie comes on Friday. I'll post more soon!

So many things to comment on. Morgan looks like she is in kindergarten. Luke and Levi look great. We cannot wait to see the hockey game on Saturday. Dad is VERY happy this morning. See you very soon.

I ditto everthing ma said! I can't believe how old the boys look! I'm glad you guys had fun at Disney on Ice! You might've wished you could've taped the show for Morgan -- I wish you could've taped her dancing for us! :) See you this weekend!!!

I should read more carefully! I see that you said you wish you could've videotaped her, not "for her," which is what I thought at first. Oh, and cute heart-shaped pancakes for Gerard!
