Snow and Ice

Winter is coming as you can see. The termination dust is creeping its way down the mountains and it won't be long until the ground down where we live is covered by snow. It happens every year, but it comes as an unpleasant surprise year after year.

In other news, Kierin is officially on a hockey team. He had his first practice yesterday at the Mac. He's a pretty good little skater and it was exciting to see the future NHL Hall of Famer out there on the ice. This practice was a "getting to know you" session and over the next few weeks the coaches will divide about 30 kids into 3 teams based on age and experience. Kierin may not be the best or the most experienced player, but he gets in there and is involved with whatever is going on. I think that he'll do pretty good when the season gets fully underway. Its a change for Jessica and I, though, to go and sit there and not jump out on the ice to tell him what to do.
