Father / Son Game

Father/Son hockey match-ups are among my favorite events of the season.  This year my inner-geek got the better of me, and with Michael's help, I rigged up a helmet cam.  It wasn't til halfway through the game that I thought to check my 'footage' and realized I had great shots of the ceiling!  After a few adjustments, we were in business...
Here's a 1-min clip of helmet cam highlights.   The best part is at the beginning where I throw smack at Drewsie at a faceoff and then take him down (with Michael, his older brother as ref, I knew I had the upper hand)... I cant get away with this much longer so I will enjoy it while I can!





And here are the overall Father/Son game highlights from the team video.

Bittersweet - Caroline's Last Skating Competition

Last weekend, Caroline and her Lexettes Team skated in their last competition of the season, competing in the "Nationals" in Minneapolis.  The weekend was filled with both excitement and sadness for Caroline as she was well aware that this would be her last competition in a sport she adores, but alas, has very limited collegiate options.


The good news, the Lexies brought home Bronze and have this profile from the local NBC affiliate all about them and their sport.  Congrats to Caroline for over 13 years of 52-wks/yr passion and commitment!
