Here’s a couple of pics of the festivities as well:

This past weekend Car & I took the boys up to Grandma & Grandpa’s house in the Poconos with the intent on having them both receive their first snowboard lesson from their professional snowboard instructor Uncle Mike. On Sunday, we headed up to Blue Mountain, rented the appropriate equipment and set Brandon & Mike loose [...]

Here’s a quick shot of Brandon after his first game today. I have some video (which will take time to edit) but I can report that he played very well in his first outing on both offense (3 goals!!!) and defense (who taught this kid how to slide-tackle?!).
