Happy News Year!
Happy New Years to everyone, 2008 was a good year for us and we look
forward to what 2009 will bring us. We were at Mom and Dad's for the day.
We did a bit of toboganning late in the afternoon with Melissa.

Homework
Angela's homework tonight was to watch the gold medal game of the World
Junior Championship. I don't remember getting homework assignments like
that. Back in the fall she had to watch the Grey Cup game. Angela and
Gillian getting ready for the game.
Go Canada!

Updated
Finally posted some overdue updates to the blog. I have been playing
with some photo edit software. Here is a photo of Angela during one of
her volleyball games last term. I was able to turn the background to
black and white and colourize just Angela.
I have also been working at categorizing and organizing all of my
digital photos. I am trying to get this done before buying a new camera.

New Camera
After going almost three months without a camera, I finally got back
into the digital world. I bought a Nikon D40, it is a digital SLR. Here
is picture number 1.

We headed out to Scarborough today for Emi's birthday party. We stopped
at Omega Optical so Susan could pick up another pair of glasses.

Waiting for the GO train to pass. We went into Scarborough to pick up
Susan's new glasses and then headed over to Mom and Dad's to pick up

will drop them off on my way through town.

Skating in Dundas
We headed into Dundas for a visit, we stopped at the new ice rink at the
Dundas Driving Park. It was chilly.
It wasn't very busy, it's a good size rink for skating.
We'll have to try and get out again, when it's a little warmer.
The girls.
Afterwards it was over to Grandma's and Poppa's for a visit.

hockey game.
