Hockey and Snow

We have had lots of snow here this past month. The kids had fun building snowmen one day that it snowed and it wasn't too cold to play in the snow. Nile has been playing lots of hockey. He made a select team this year so he has played in a couple of tournaments in Omaha and Des Moines. He has a big tournament coming up in Kansas City in a couple of weeks and he might even get to do a tournament in St. Louis which would be lots of fun. He is having lots of fun with his friends on the hockey team at the hotels, swimming and playing hall hockey. We are ready for the snow to be done and for spring to come so we can start walking to school again. B has a brand new pair of hockey skates that he loves to wear around the house with the skate guards on. He wants me to take him skating everyday. I usually take him at least twice a week. He is becoming quite the little skater.
