Happy 18th birthday, Rene!!!

I'm so proud of you, Rene! You're a beautiful person and have grown into a responsible young woman. I love you! <3
It was a busy day - Rene had to bake her own birthday cake because I wasn't home long enough to mix and bake it. We raced from hockey to Panera to pick up jeremy, and made it to Feng just in time (well one minute late, and I almost ran over Jeremy in the parking lot, as well as the other couple who ended up sharing a table with us - oops!). Rene got squirted with too many things that cant be mentioned here! I tried my best to make sure it was gluten free for Hank, asking the waitress about everything they brought out... but of course 3 hours later Hank was miserable.

Hank's blocker has taken such a beating that he could no longer keep it on his hand. Hockey gear usually is NEVER in the house because it has an ungodly hockey stench.The blocker was especially horrible because it had NEVER been washed - the palm was black! I washed it out so I could touch it without gagging and bought a pack of scrap leather. I bloodied and bruised my fingers, broke 3 needles, and resorted to using pliers to pull the needle,but finlly at 3am, Hank has a repaired blocker! He owes me a shutout after this!

I love you, Rene!

My first baby, the oldest child. Emotions on her sleeve - love that big smile!

Halloween 2015

Hank spent the evening playing games with Sam.  Corrina went for a quick trick-or-treat with Eva. Dressed as Louise from Bob's Burgers. She spent the day finishing up the rabbit-ear hat.


Despite stocking up on candy which I distributed only to some after-hours teenage boys, I got tricked... poor Ghostie was stolen off the porch :( I had lots of leftovers - ready for consumption by the diabetics in the family with carb counts.
