Joy in the little things

This morning I asked Lillian to put a wrapped gift under the tree. She waddled over and put it down. Then with great joy and laughter she clapped at her great accomplishment. Then she picked up the gift and moved it to the other side of the tree. Once again, she celebrated her great achievement. This gift movement went on for about 20 minutes. What a great example of joy in the little things.

Happily One

My alter ego

A week or two ago I was downstairs with Elijah while he was working on fixing his house/box. He kept talking about Jason and finally he looks at me and says "Hey Jason, can you come help me?" Slightly perplexed I helped him using the hammer he had given me.

A few days ago I was once again helping him fix things downstairs. And once again he called me Jason.

I'm guessing it is my fix-it alter ego. We don't really know anyone by the name of Jason. Not sure where he came up with this.

(On a side note: When my brother asked Elijah yesterday who Jason was Elijah said that it was his brother. He also said that he worked with him pouring concrete. Oh the joys of an imagination.)

Invitation open to all

Elijah and his cousin got the chance to do a little bit of professional hockey development today.

Come skate on our pond. One day you'll be able to say you knew him when...

Hockey Night in Canada?

It's gotta start somewhere.

Trevor has been working hard for the past couple of weeks at making a bit of a rink for Elijah to learn to skate. They went out for the first time this evening. Elijah loved it.
