Photo of the Week
Keaton scored a goal in his Hockey Tournament over the weekend. His coach affectionately calls him "Wheels" - he is one speedy little boy on skates. We were over the moon proud of him and so happy because we knew how thrilled he'd be to score. My photo this week is of my little man in his hockey gear. Go Keaton Go!
Way to go Keaton. What a great picture. I love seeing kids all geared up for sports. I don't understand how their little legs hold up all that equipment, but it is so great to watch them play. Have a very Merry Christmas. Thanks for your warm words on my blog. I needed it.
