After a four month or so hiatus, I returned to hockey on Tuesday night. Even better: I was back skating with a group I haven’t seen in about a year and a half. We had a blast. I’m so excited to be back, and happy that I wasn’t completely dead by the end of the […]

It’s been raining the past couple of days, melting the snow and making a soggy, foggy mess. Today’s temperature was in the 50s, but will head back into the 20s tomorrow. I’m sad about the snow, and my sinuses hate these changes in temperature, but I guess I can be thankful it’s not in the

I spent New Year’s Eve in Boston with a friend, where we attended the Bruins game. Despite the Bruins’ loss, it was a great time.

I didn’t take any photos on Monday (I’ve been slacking), so here’s another one from Sunday.

Joshua turned five on Sunday. He was almost more excited for his birthday as he was for Christmas. Zero One Two Three Four Five! It no longer feels like yesterday since he was born, but I still can’t believe how big he has gotten in the past five years. Looking back at his photos, I
