Hockey Finally Starts and Pictures for Dad

I'm sure you're waiting with bated breath for this information, so here it is. Lucas ended up on the Novice B-3 team. Since that's a bit unwieldy, the kids re-named their team the Coyotes (after a brief flirtation with Coyote Lightning). The first weekend's practices were at the chipper time of 7 AM on both Saturday and Sunday so that was fun. This coming weekend, they are on Friday and Saturday at 5:30 PM. Now that's what I'm talking about! The Coyotes's first game will be on October 18 so that's something to look forward to. We haven't taken any pictures yet this season, but I'm sure we'll have some soon.

Actually, I do have one hockey-related picture ready for uploading. Last year, we dumped all of Lucas's hockey equipment over the floor in the basement after each practice to let it air out (if you don't, it can really stink). This year, Marilu bought this scarecrow looking thing, which has made organizing his gear much easier. It would also be useful if Kevin McAllister is ever home alone in our house and needs to ward off would-be burglars.

These next few pictures are from my dad's visit this past Spring. This is probably the easiest way to get pictures to him since email attachments may be troublesome. Hope you like em, Dad!
