We're all going to church! 😉
I mentioned yesterday that after taking Pace to his first Pat's game, it seemed like he may have gotten bitten by the hockey bug. Today has already confirmed it. From demanding his “hockey shirt” (jersey) the moment he woke up to playing ball hockey in the living room non-stop throughout the day, I think we've […]

Just that none of the other options (bright orange, glow-in-the-dark white, camouflage) appealed to daddy's highly evolved sense of fashion. Man, thinking more about it – I played rec hockey with this team for almost ten […]
