A sick girl, a competition and a trike
After the last update, Katrine spent one whole week well before picking up a virus so now she is sick once more. During that single week of wellness, she competed at March Mania in Innisfil because we had already registered her so what the he**. We were hoping that she would go, have fun and [...] Continue reading
Katrine update
Still no photos of Katrine because she is still sick…with Scarlett fever. Yes you read that right.

Weekend competition #1: Skating Club Competition
It was a very long yet fun day today spent almost exclusively at the arena due to RHFSC’s club competition.

Snow Cakes anyone?
Just in case you are feeling hungry for a frosty, snowy treat with just a hint of salt and a dash of dirt thought that we should pass on their newly released commercial. Gotta support those small business incentives right?
Some photos for you
Ahh, the quiet.
Love photos of kids with that gap in their teeth. So cute. Not fun? Being the parent who took her to get them pulled. Fingers crossed that the next one just falls out.
Finally, some snow
A coach went fishing for "skater-fish&quo… Continue reading
