Hockey

A couple weeks ago we all went to an OSU hockey game. Here are the kids all decked out in OSU gear.
We had two tickets from Grandpa and in line to get a couple more this kid's dad offered us his extra two tickets. They were great seats so for the first period we piled into the parents section and I got inside information on Chris. The kids had a good time watching everything but hockey. Jackson loved the band and was air drumming along and he would also follow Brutus around the arena waving hello. Eleanor was more interested in the people and struck up several conversations with strangers. She has become quite friendly and will talk to people and introduce them to he family and tell them about Mookie or dinosaurs.


After the first period we moved to the Club Level where we could grab a pretzel and give the kids some room to run around.


They have several Brutuses (Bruti?) around the ground level. Here are Jack and I checking on out up close.



And hear is our sweet dog Mookie snuggled up with Mama Elle, who was lovingly wrapped in a blanket and then pushed to the bottom of the bed. Mookie made sure she had company though.

Happy Birthday Jackson!

Can you believe this little monkey is 2? It seems like it has gone fast but I remember the many steps he has made over the last two years. He has really started to develop his own personality recently, as a ornery little bugger, and his laugh lights up the room. He is starting to make his preferences known for music, books, and shows, much to the chagrin of Miss Eleanor Kate.

I can't find the camera with pictures from his party so here are some from Thanksgiving.

Nora all dressed up and Jackie Boo Bear wearing some hair bands.


Here is a rare picture of all the Pollocks and Groves after a nice big meal.

Both kids were so sacked out from playing with cousin Lindsey they fell asleep quickly on the way home.
