Skating Away

Ian's first time skating! Well, sort of!

Daddy took him to the local arena and strapped on the skates for the first time in many years. Hockey skates, no less. Kind of a recipe for disaster, I guess, but what the heck. I figured we could crash together!

Some kids (and dads) who were learning were using a chair for balance. You know, to get the feel. It seemed like a decent idea, so I finally got Ian to try it. He did really well and had lots of fun! I did, too. Even though the majority of the time was spent with Ian seated in the chair and Daddy pushing him from behind, trying really hard not to crash or twist an ankle!

It brought back memories of my mom and I. She used to bring me skating and I loved it.

So it was a lot of laughs and I'm glad he tried it. We'll have to go again.

Game On!



Ian loves to play games! Crazy Eights, War, board games, games he invents, or a game Uncle Rick invented. Better watch it, people - he's good!!!

Game On! - Part II









At the end of last Winter we went to the State Championship game with our good buddies Chris and Julian. Ian likes to go to a lot of sporting events: basketball, field hockey, soccer, football.... I think you can see that he gets pretty emotionally involved in the game (our team lost).
It was either that or the piece of pizza that he dropped...

Ian Said...

I was making faces at Ian while he was flossing...




Ian: "Dad - can you please always not be silly when I'm concentrating?!"

Summertime, Summertime!






We were treated to a nice visit from Heather, Jason and Zane in August. We had a Mexican-style lunch with grilled chicken quesadillas, played in the yard, and then went on a hike and played in the creek...sailboats, rocks, crayfish, exploring....lots of boy stuff! A good time for all, too. Nice to see you guys!

Independence Day





Well, once again we enjoyed a wonderful time at camp! This time we were celebrating the Fourth of July with Chris and the boys, Tony and Tim, Bill and Bev, Terri and the girls, and therest of the Dallas Cowboys! Friends stopped by and we went afew camps down to watch some cool fireworks! Ian and Colin were almost as tired as Steph and I for a late ride home and Beddy-Bye Time.
