Family Journal: Saturday January 22, 2011

Ocean is shown above playing in the snow. We had a nice family Saturday yesterday. The snow continues to fall as I write this early Sunday morning and we plan to hit the sledding hill after breakfast. Yesterday I had a nice day with the kids. We had snowball fights, played snow football and enjoyed our new garden. It is a massive play space with many huge trees (I am a big tree lover!). I anticipate many good times in there in the years to come.

I made another moving run, taking a full car of stuff from our old apartment to the new place. Nadia organized a bit in the kitchen and the place is really coming into shape. I reckon in another week, we’ll be finished with the move. I took the boys to our intrasquad basketball scrimmage and afterwards, fellow coach Eric Sands hosted both the boys and girls’ basketball teams for a get-together. The high school students are always great with my children. My kids are exposed to a variety of cultures and interests. Shahaf a grade nine student, shown below, taught the boys a bit on the piano. After basketball season, I plan to take piano lessons, and after seeing Oliver last night, perhaps him too. It would be good to get our family playing music together.
