Edgcumbe Tournament

The Edgcumbe green squirts finished the tournament in third place but as you can see in the picture everyone had a wonderful time. It was particularly scenic with the light snowfall.

Edgcumbe Green Squirts Win!

Friday night even in the bitter cold the team beat the Champlin Park Rebels. Score was 3-1. Frank Kimlinger had the hat trick for our team and R.J. had two of the three assists. Of course Molly played well also. Today's game was actually closer than the final score reflects. We lost 5-2 to Langford Park and R.J. racked up another assist. No photos as I was volunteering in the concession stand. I did manage to see about 10 minutes at the end. Last game is tomorrow.

No school!

Due to extremely cold weather (-21 degrees this morning, not including windchill) Mahtomedi has cancelled classes for the past 2 days! Yippee!! The best part of this equation (5 day weekend with Martin Luther King day on Mon.) is that St. Paul did not cancel classes so yesterday and today after fixing the kids a fabulous breakfast we drop them off at school and get some Mom and Dad time. O.K., yesterday we spent part of the day grocery shopping so it was not all that glamourous, but today we plan to at least go out for lunch. Also, more time to update the blog. Here are some more pics from last weekend's Langford Classic tournament. By the way, the tournament got a nice little write up in the Mpls. Star Trib. R.J. is #8 and Molly is #19. Tonight we have the first game in the Edgcumbe tournament. We have stocked up on toe and hand warmers, wool socks and such. Now if we could get the temp to go above zero!

Hockey the way it was meant to be played

Just a couple of quick shots from the Langford tournament. This was Tuesday night's game and yes that is R.J.'s breath in the 2nd picture. Plenty cold and lots of fun. They play again tonight at 8 p.m. and tomorrow morning.

The contest winner is...

Dad. He guessed within 3 years. In case you can't read the label it says June 1964. Hopefully the new one will last 44+ years

Guess my age

This is the water heater that got removed yesterday. Take a gander at how old it is. No peeking. Hint: it is older than anyone in our household.

I'll publish the answer tomorrow.

Feliz Navidad y Próspero Año Nuevo

Here are some highlights from recent days. The pictures of Katie and Christine are the two of them comparing and discussing bunions-scintillating conversation for Christmas Day. Some of the exciting purchases of which we do not have photos yet (but maybe I'll get some posted in the future) are: new tires for the truck and a new hot water heater! Woo-hoo!
