MORGAN: Buzz Lightyear is like Grandpa Ian.
ME: Why, because they are both so strong?
MORGAN: No, because they both have no hair.

{a girl can dream....}

...can't she?



Oh, Tamron zoom, how I love you!

{hockey tournament}

I forgot to post pictures from Gerard's hockey tournament 2 weeks ago. It was a cross-ice tournament and Gerard's team won all three of their games. He was goalie for the first game and shut out the other team. To be fair, he didn't see many shots, but I was still one proud momma! You know how I feel about being the goalie's mom!

Morgan was a real trooper, hanging out with me in the stands for about 4 hours then going to dinner with sweaty hockey players and then sitting through a hockey game that night. She deserves the trophy!

This past weekend we traveled to NY for Elizabeth and Brandon's wedding. It was really nice seeing everyone again. The kids were in the wedding -- according to Morgan she was the "flower" and Gerard was the ring "bear". She had been DYING to wear her wedding dress and wedding shoes and she finally had her opportunity. Gerard wore a kilt!

Here they are at the church before the ceremony:

{happy valentine's day}

Well, we're back from Elizabeth's wedding and I hope to post pictures soon, but in the meantime, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

{Wee Deliver}

Well, the Steelers lost. What a bummer. What can ya do....

Anyway, Gerard's school has FINALLY started their Wee Deliver program. (Read about it IN THIS POST.) Since the 3rd graders are no longer at that school, the 2nd graders are running the program and they'll be sorting and delivering all the mail. If you'd like to mail anything to Gerard, e-mail me and I'll send you the address. He'd love to hear from you!

{some tidbits}

Morgan had her "star" day at school on Tuesday which meant she got to take Corduroy home again. And once again, Corduroy joined her at dance class. Here they are with Ms. Julia.

I made some more cookies for Sunday. I had better start practicing the Sabres symbol for the Stanley Cup. (Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?)

Last but not least, my parents just got back from Florida for my grandma's unveiling and for my dad's annual softball trip with the boys from Buffalo. When I told Gerard that Grandpa was playing softball in Florida he replied, "Cool! Grandpa made the travel team?!" (FYI: Their team name MOGS stands for Mostly Old Guys. Dad: Didn't that get changed to OGS?)
