Some updates

I was planning to post pictures this week of Marilu and Lucas donating their hair last weekend for the children's hospital, but then I ended up getting really sick mid-week and kind of forgot about everything for a few days. I'm just now remembering on Sunday night, just as I am about to head to bed so the pictures will have to wait since they aren't on the computer yet.

What I will update you with is some sports news. Hockey sortouts wrapped up last week, and Lucas was assigned to a team on Thursday. The "bad" news is that he is still is House B (we thought he has a shot at House A), but the great news is he is back with our favorite coach. Craig was his coach 2 and 3 years ago, on the Coconuts and the Emojis. That news alone is enough to make us excited for the season. Thankfully, there is no sign whatsoever about Coach Dumbass from last year.

It's still going to be a couple of weeks until games start, but they did come up with a team name. In keeping with the wacky names, Lucas is now a member of the Cows.

In other sports news, Lucas had his sortouts for basketball today. Unlike hockey, everyone plays in the same division, but they do the sortouts to try and get balance on the teams. I think the basketball season will get underway in the next week or two.

I will do my best to have the hair donation pictures up tomorrow.

Junior High!

I know it's been a long while, but hot off the presses, here are this year's "first day of school" photos.

It seems hard to believe, but Lucas starts grade 7 at the high school today. Where has the time gone?

A big part of the delay in posting has been due to my photos folders being in a state of complete chaos. One of my goals for September is to get them cleaned up and orderly. Once they are manageable again, I will be posting more frequently. We are entering sports season--this year, field lacrosse, hockey, and basketball--so there will be plenty to see.

Ta-ta for now.
