Happy Sunday everyone! It looks like the frigid cold weather is behind us, for now anyway. We have some mild temperatures on the way this week. It is starting to feel like Spring....how can I tell? We've been hearing the unmistakable mating song of the Cardinals for the past few days. One of the most beautiful outdoor sound at this time of year.
Before I get into our news, I feel it's important to recognize the terrible tragedy that took place in British Columbia last week. The entire country is grieving the loss of those innocent lives. We were also deeply moved by the powerful show of solidarity from our political leaders during this difficult time. Canada knows how to come together during these tragic moments.
Last week was good. Russell's birthday came and went. The boys and I made sure he had a wonderful celebration. The first Canada Men's hockey game took place that day and we won. A birthday doesn't get any better than that 🎉
This morning, we watched Mikaël Kingsbury win our first gold medal in the dual moguls. Congratulations! We've been watching the Olympics throughout the week. Of course, I'm especially interested in the Men's Hockey. The third Canada game is this morning at 10:40. We have to plan our day around this event. I can't wait to see which two teams will be in the Gold medal game .... next Sunday at 8:10 am.
We had some plumbing work done. It seems that all of our faucets are falling apart. As soon as the plumber left last Wednesday after replacing our bathroom faucets, the kitchen faucet starting leaking. He's coming back tomorrow to install a new one. Next up will be our water heater.
Merlot & Sherlock are doing well. We are enjoying more walks with them now that the weather is not as cold.
Those are my news for today's blog. Tomorrow is Family Day in most provinces except Quebec. If you are celebrating, enjoy those precious moments. Have a great week!

| What does the phrase "Daddy's home" look like...patiently waiting for the door to open. |

| Sherlock has very special eyes and he knows how to use them. |
