Hockey, Bear and Paul's cabinet

Well it is official, Nicholas made the Rec team for hockey.  He got his jersery last practice he was not too happy about the number he got #30 he wanted #1 oh well next year maybe.  I found out that the other goalie on our team has been goalie since he was 6 years old, and this is Nick's second year as a goalie and he is just as good, if not better than the other kid.  (I have had three coaches tell me that Nick is a better goalie than the two, partly because Nick has a natural talent but also he wants to learn more and soakes up all the coaching he gets.  The other kid thinks he is all that and a bag of chips and does not like to listen to the coaches.)  It is fun to watch them on the ice everytime they trade off or end a practice they touch there gloves together.  So for the next 6-7 months it is going to be hockey, hockey and more hockey.  We had a practice on monday and again tonight.  It should be an exciting year.  I need to get a picture of him and his new helmet and now his jersey

Monday when Nick and I were cleaning out the hamster cages Bear Nick's hamster was cold so Nick held him and warmed him up and we gave him a drink and moved his bed in the cage and took off the tunnel, then we talked about Bear being old and that he was going to die soon.  He was still alive tuesday but this morning I think he has died.  I did not tell Nick because I didn't want him to be upset and then not go to school.

Paul cabinet is almost finished the arbright is on and he is just finishing staining some of the drawers then they can be put on.  He only has a week to finish because then he is gone out to the field for the month of Nov.

And here is Sasha and Gabby relaxing after a hard day of play.
