was a friendly against another team of our club. Our boys won 7-1, Maxim scored once and Nathan did his usual tricks in the mid-field. It was a beautiful, very cold day, but boys teams enjoyed it a lot.
Next game 9/1/10...
Maxim in action just before the final whistle.
In my series of 3, that was my second family symbol tackled: the family house. Sometimes it's hard to break free....
Think of your family....
This is my version of the family tree. You don't choose it, it chooses you! Sometimes it hurts! LOL

Her bedroom. She can play for hours in her room..Only a few steps from my office. I hear stories, many stories and once in a little while she calls for me.
Just looking at this picture fills me with peace. Nothing or no one directly related to me, the mother of a friend of Maxim at school. 3 little kids, a huge gap and lots of emotions brought home from the classroom. His worries or feelings are minuscule next to those of his friend but I can feel his fear, even if only unconscious.
He's growing right there before my eyes...3rd grader, 8 years and 4 months.
Well, that's it! I did it!
How did we survive it? I'm tired just thinking about it. Matches at 9:00 am on a weekend are a crime. We had to get up twice at 6:30 to be there on time. Saturday for an exciting hockey game. Nathan was keeper the first half and probably won the game by saving all. End result was 3-1. And Sunday was one of a few ski races this year. Warming up and recognizing the track was from 8 to 9. So again a 6:30 start was needed. On a Sunday!!! Both boys did really good and finished 1st (Maxim) and 2nd (Nathan) of the non racing skiers. They both improved their time in the second leg which was really exciting to see.
It was a tiring but fun weekend. Manouk even found the time to bake these for our guests Sunday evening.
