Recent Events

We've been back from vacation for over ten days now and I am still not completely finished unpacking. We seemed to have jumped immediately back into the swing of things, so here is a quick update of goings-on.

The day after we flew home from Hawaii was our last day of Nancy Greene skiing at Lake Louise. We spotted Sarah's group doing jumps in the Whitehorn bowl and I grabbed my camera, but Sarah did a teeny hop, so not exciting coverage, but here it is:



Alison got her Level 2 "Parallel Skier" and a certificate from her coaches, calling her "The Skier with the Most Personality." Fitting.



Two days later was Alison's advancement ceremony from Sparks to Brownies. I have no pictures of the event, but a live action video without fancy edits or music. I hope I haven't raised expectations too high...


Sarah's Girl Guide group spent their last meeting playing laser tag. She said it was fun.

Soccer season is now upon us. Sarah starts tomorrow and Alison next week. The weather is becoming spring-like and the sun is gracing us with its presence for my 6 am dog walks as well as for evening strolls in the park.

The first vacation video. Enjoy.

Maui

What an amazing, relaxing vacation. We had a wonderful time in Maui, but then we came home on the red eye and went skiing the next day and we are still a little sleepy.

Some photos until I can create a coherent post.

Skating Carnival 2007

At the end of skating season, the girls each performed in the annual Carnival to showcase the talents of the many wonderful skaters. Sarah performed another rousing rendition of her Dutch waltz (as seen here) and Alison's group did an ensemble routine to fan-favourite, "Summer Lovin'" from the Grease soundtrack (choreographed by her wonderful skating coach, Louise, seen above).



What's that you say? No fancy editing job this time around? Unfortunately, I'm too busy packing up for our Spring Break vacation to Maui to produce a fancy new video. The standard fare will have to do for now. I'll just have to wait until we get back before another attempt at video-editing.

I know they have computers in Maui, but I will definitely NOT be using one. Stay tuned April 14th-ish for my next update!
