a Decade & a Day Ago...

was the day my first child was born.  February 19th, 2002 at 2:47pm, to be exact.  It doesn't seem possible that it's already been 10 years since that day.  All the clichés are true...but I couldn't truly appreciate them until I lived them myself.  Now, I know.
The speed at which my children are growing up is frightening.
This photo of my big, bad 10 year old was taken yesterday, minutes after his travel hockey team beat out 8 others to become champions.  He is one of two goaltenders on his team - and of the 6 games they played in the tournament, he only had one goal slip past him.  Five shutouts ain't too shabby and I truly couldn't of been any prouder of him.  The other goalie did amazingly well too - as did every single player on his team. Each one of them is very deserving of the title, Champion...and now they all have a big shiny trophy to prove it.  Hip Hip Hooray!
He couldn't have asked for a better Birthday gift.  Happy Birthday Max!
