Spring Preview

As anyone involved in Hockey or a fan of Hockey knows Team USA is in town. What a treat for us! We went and saw them play Norway on Thursday, this was by far the best Hockey I have ever seen - unfortunately I was told I could not bring my "professional" (I say this lightly) camera with me and my small one's battery was dead so I was not able to get any pictures. Blaine and Justin went again on Saturday to see USA play Finland, this time Blaine was able to get some pictures but said he had a hard time remembering to take pictures when all he really wanted to do was watch the game. But at least there are pictures to remind us!
















It seems everyone in town had Good Friday off and decided to enjoy the outdoors. We were happy to see all the people buzzing around town and how many friends that we ran into that we had not seen through the long winter months. Much to everyone's relief 'so far' they made it through flood #1 without any water, even our former babysitter who is barely a block away from the river. Not suprising to me she continued to do daycare with all the water turned off in the "daycare area". I am sure her being open was a relief to all the parents; I sure wish our daycare would have been so furtunate.

We spent Easter at home with my relatives coming to join us. It was a great weekend spent with my sister on our girls afternoon out Saturday. Much to my surprise and with out any hints Blaine suggested that she and I should go somewhere and spend a night or heck why not a whole weekend away some time soon. I think we should jump on the chance while the offer is still fresh! Vegas Baby!!

Tonight, I am reminded how close we are to spring...yet still so much into hockey.










And as my nose tells me...summer will not come a day to soon!
