{baby M!}

Congratulations to Robyn, Jon and Spencer on your newest addition! Welcome Shoshana Ensley M..... 6 lbs, 2 oz. Little, like Gerard was. I can't wait to see pictures!

{getting old}

I don't know which is worse.... The fact that if I continue to pull out my gray hairs with a tweezer I will be bald before my next birthday, or the fact that I'm going to need to invest in bifocals to see the gray hairs so that I can continue to tweeze them. Am I really that old?!?!

Gerard went to bed early. Truthfully, I'm surprised he made it to 7:30, considering he had to wake up at 6:45 on Saturday and 6:30 this morning to make it to hockey. Maybe now I can catch up on some shows I've DVR'd. Oh, no, that's right. Football is on. And on. And on. And on.

So I guess that means that I have a little time to upload some pictures. Enjoy!

Saturday's practice:

Sizing up the competition:

Nice save!








Today's Game:

{not quite ryan miller...YET}

Gerard was awesome today! His team was clearly out-played, with 95% of the game spent in our end. On the plus side, Gerard saw a LOT of action and got a LOT of practice. On the other hand, he let in 5 goals (2 of which were CLEARLY AFTER the buzzer, but they "counted" them anyway). The other goalie must've been bored, what with only seeing 3 shots on net the whole game and all that standing around twiddling his thumbs.

I took a lot of video and a few pictures, but apparently I need to buy a different cable to hook my old video camera up to my new computer to transfer the video. I hope to have that taken care of soon!

In the meantime, here's a sneak peak....

{homework}

In honor of MLK Day, Gerard's homework was to write and draw about his own dream. When I first asked him, he said, "My dream is for Mallory to let me sit with Maddie on the bus." After he understood that this wasn't really a dream for our world, he decided that his dream "...is that everybody would like everybody else." Wouldn't that be nice?

Here he is working on his assignment. And Morgan is doing her "homework" too....

Gerard said he got his inspiration from Grandma's January wallhanging:
