Oscar practicing skating

With the only girl on the team.  That's him in the Canadiens jersey behind the girl in white.

Care package from Korea, take two

The kids' fairy God-mother rained gifts(RAINed?  Like the Korean pop sensation...) on them again.  Completely gratuitous giving- the best kind!

Included were karate socks that had the boy trying out his moves.  This one is called The Tangled Mantis.

First hockey practice

Oskie had his first practice today.  6: 45 AM.
There was positive, there was negative.  No crying.  Some skating.  Lots of sitting on the ice.
Best part was lots of dads from school and soccer, and lots of friends.  Tomorrow is going to be a great second practice...

Good sports

A few trials side, Emma's team came together nicely by the end of the season and even won a game or two.  Nice to see Emma running like a trooper even on days when she was a little under the weather.

The end of a great soccer season

Just too bad Abdul was at the airport and not in the photo.

I'm sure this just means that years of marketing worked

But there seemed to be something so poignant about Oscar paying for his first hockey gear with Canadian tire money.
