Bonus Blog

It seems like I am lucky to get one blog a month completed.  This is my second one this month.  We had some big milestones that I wanted to make sure I captured this month.  Liesel's first day of preschool and Milo started hockey.
 
Liesel LOVES school.  She likes her teachers and getting to play with other kids, but her very favorite thing is the horse rides at Happy Valley.  She is just beside herself with excitement on the days she get to ride the ponies.  On her first day she walked in hung up her back pack, as if she had done it a thousand times, introduced herself to a teacher and said "bye Mom".  Just like that she grew up.  I got a hug and a kiss and hesitantly walked out secretly envying the moms who's kids still clung to them.  When I picked her up that evening she was full of tales from school.  I was excited that I would finally have a kid in school who would discuss the daily events.  Milo's general response is "nothing".  After Liesel's first day she immediately started talking about all the friends she made. She even knew their names, Riley and Colin... I was thrilled, until I started to think she may be making up stories.  She continued running through the list of names, Zoola, Frozen Ice, and Snow White.  Oh, well at least she was animated and it was obvious she had a great day!
 
Milo has also found love.  The love of hockey.  He started the 6 week Avalanche's Mighty Mites program.  He is on the ice with 50 other kids between 5-7, a team of 13 year olds and about 6 adult coaches.  His favorite part is passing, but he is pretty sure it is going to be skating fast.  "I am going to be very fast, mom.  I am pretty sure I would have killed it out there at the end if I wasn't so tired".  After practice he was so sweaty that it looked like he had just gotten out of the pool.  He was sweaty and happy, just as little boys should be.
 
Look at this cute bunch.

Excited girl

We had to run a bunch of errands one Friday and Liesel the dragon just couldn't keep her eyes open.

Liesel in our new bedroom.  It is starting to look like a real house.

Maddox wanted a shot at the dragon action.  He makes a very cute dragon.

More house shots. 



Milo's very first "official" hockey lesson.
