Where's Pics of John???

Ok...so I've been chastised by a certain someone..(moooommmmm!) that there was no new fave photo of John with my new camera...sooo..here is the explanation: He was involved in a bit of a scuffle during the game against Charlestown back on the 12th of Dec..actually he was what they affectionately call in hockey the "third man in". He was coming to the aid of a smaller player that was getting the crap beat out of him...long and short of it he, along with the original kid and another one who jumped in to help all got ejected and suspended. There was some confusion as to just how many games he was suspended, so when I dropped him off at his game on Sun, he wasn't supposed to play, but.....as soon as I got back home he called and told me to come back with his equipment as he could play, and to get back there fast (ummmm...hellooo..red lights????)..so in my haste to grab his equipment and get back there FAST, I neglected to grab the camera. I managed to have his equipment there and helped him dress fast enough that he only missed the first 4 minutes of the game. That being said, his first 10 seconds out on the ice, 1st game post suspension he managed to land his sorry butt in the penalty box....hellooooo...how about UNDER the radar fool????? He does have a game this sunday evening and if he stays out of the naughty box long enough I just may be able to get some neat shots of him....there, ok mom???? LOL

New favorite photo of Ry

December...

Well December has come and is now almost gone...and quickly at that. My birthday was on the 11th and dad and boys managed to come up with a birthday present that was number one on my wish list..a new really cool camera. It is the new Canon EOS 7D with 18 megapixels and capability to take 8 shots in one second with one press of the button. It is absolutely fabulous for action shots and there's no stopping me now...when people see me with the camera bag they now run...hmmm. Next came the two weeks leading up to Christmas...all I have to say is Ryan's teacher has certainly earned her break and then some..nothing more trying than contain a rowdy group of second graders waiting for Santa..I wonder if she'll have to be dragged back kicking and screaming. Christmas finally (and I mean FINALLY) arrived and everyone was happy with their Christmas loot..John and Pat got fully loaded laptops and Ryan got a mini version designed for younger kids, but comes with windows and internet capabilities. This should hopefully dispel the constant fight for the one computer in our house. Ryan's hockey team has been in a Christmas tournament this week and so far has tied one game and lost one game. They're hoping to win the next game and get into the championship round..we're keeping our fingers crossed. As for John and Pat's hockey teams, well.......maybe 2010 will be kinder.
