Thrift Store Madness

There's a fine line seperating good deals and the loss of your sanity. This line is crossed many times at the Clintonville thrift store on the last Tuesday of every month, when everything is 50% off. If you go, you will save money, but I'm warnin ya, you might not make it back with your sanity intact. Trevor? He's crazy to begin with.

Haircut

There is my hair. Quite a chop!

Main Ice Skate

One of the perks of being in the Jacket backers is that they arranged a skate for the members on the main ice of Nationwide Arena. It was the first time Trevor has been on skates, as well as the first time he's been to the arena. Lauren and I brought our hockey sticks and played some "pass the puck". Her end of the bargain included hanging on to the wall with one hand and swinging the stick towards the puck with the other, but it was a good start. And, contrary to appearances, she really did enjoy being in the penalty box!

CBJ away game trip: Pittsburgh

Beth and I had a fantastic weekend away from home. We went to Pittsburgh with the Jacket Backers and had a great time. We had a group of 40 or so people make the trip, and I will say that we got a little loud. The CBJ lost the game 4-1, but that wasn't going to keep us down for long!

Lauren Ballet Class (and Lauren pix)

Lauren has been taking ballet at the YMCA on Sundays, she loves it. The pictures below were snapped by Little Miss in our family room. I've said it before but it bears repeating, Nobody makes her brother smile like she does!
