Twice lost, twice found

In 2006, I shot a bunch of pictures of my friend’s all-women hockey team. I forgot my memory card that day, so I borrowed her husband’s memory card. Somewhere along the way, the images were lost. Then he found them and sent me a CD with them. Then I lost the CD. As I was cleaning out my office today, I found it again. Doesn’t she look bad ass?

Her hockey playing days came to an end the following winter when she got pregnant with her first child. We built a special snow-woman in her honor. We fully expect to see her back on the ice in a few years, though, when the kiddos are a bit bigger.

Mother’s Day BBQ

Nick and I are so lucky to have five wonderful mother’s in our life! On Sunday morning, my half of the family enjoyed a leisurely brunch at Hectors to honor my mom and Sarah. Later in the day we enjoyed spending time with Anne, Cathy, Judy and the other half of the family. Of course, with two rambunctious toddlers around, we couldn’t help but spend lots of time running around.

Ronan & Reece Weekend

Nick and I spent a weekend in mid-April taking care of our niece and nephew so Nick’s brother and his wife could have a quick getaway. We made a lot of rookie mistakes and shenanigans ensued… Luckily the kids were alive and mostly unscathed by the time their parents got home.

The new “Mason B”

Here he finally is...Mason Brian Porter. He was born last Sunday; it’s just taken me a bit of time to get the pictures posted here.

I was lucky enough to spend time with Mom/Sarah and Dad/Brain at the hospital the day after he was born. Being an aunt is so much fun

Christmas Eve Shenanigans

Whether it’s apple cider or the real stuff, you can always count on Nick to finish the job. Merry Christmas!
