Time flys when you're having FUN:)

Wow, it's already February 2010!!! Can't believe it.

Well we visited the homeland (Wisconsin) in January for a hockey tournament. We ended up taking 2nd place. Lost the Championship game 3-2 (ouch). The team had a GREAT weekend and SHAW Hockey treated us GREAT too!!!! The team enjoyed the snow (just ask the cops that showed up at the hotel for snowball throwing). Not a big deal, kind of funny actually. Glad I didn't have to handle that.

Since we've returned it's been the house of the sickies. Kelly is still coughing after her case of pneumonia and returned to the doctor yesterday because it was so intense. More meds and she missed a day and a half of work this week.

Last week I had the coughs and seems bronchitis too. I was off the entire week, tried to go in and they sent me back home. Still coughing here & there and some are pretty intense too. Feels like your gagging.

The kids so far have not gotten whatever it is we really have (thank god!).

This Friday is the Father/Daughter dance at school. Jimmy offered to help me (ha! ha!). But I think I can handle it. The girls are really excited.

Mom's been busy with school projects one after another (don't they know how many kids we have???). Seems one's finishing a project and the next is starting one.

Mom and Dad need some alone time:) Have to take 1/2 days off to get any of that.

More and more kids seem to be calling and showing up at the front door. The kids are making a lot of friends this year in school. They are outside everynight (after homework is done).

We have 9 more league hockey games to play before the end of season playoffs (the week of March 26th). May end up in one more tournament in Riverside, California the weekend of March 13-14. Still waiting on word from the tournament director. We will be in Las Vegas for 2 league games on February 20-21 (probably just Deric and I), some father/son time away.

Schools been going ok for the kids. Grades have dropped a little so it's back to the kitchen table when mom gets home and all work gets done before they go out. That means dad makes supper when he gets home around 5:45pm (if we don't have practice or off-ice training).

I think that's all that's happened here in a month. Until next time, take care.
