"Firsts"

On the day of the first snow this year, we were booked.

It started as a sprinkling of snow, then, by evening, it was about 12-14 inches...

First up, there was the roller hockey game.

I love, love, love watching my three boys playing on the same team with all their friends.

This has been the best sport experience so far because all my boys are having so much F.U.N.

The second thing that day was celebrating with my parents 50 years of marriage.

In sickness,

In health.

In good times,

And bad.

They have been through it all, and their love for God and each other has stood the test of time.

What a legacy they are leaving for us all!

The snow started to complicate things by now. After the party, it took our family over an hour to get home...when it usually takes fifteen minutes. We thought we may be skipping the last thing on the day's plans. It was a "first" we really didn't want the boys to miss: Their first time seeing Tin Man & my favorite of all musicals: Les Miserables.

And so, somehow, snow and all, we made it. And it was fantastic! I knew they loved it the next day when randomly, all three, at different times, whistled, sang, or hummed a song from Les Mis. 

This is a post about "firsts", so this was a first from last weekend:

...but I'll save the explanation for another post!
