The perfect gift for a hockey fan.

I have to be honest, when my friend Andrew told me they were doing their next documentary on the Gold Medal Olympic hockey team, I assumed it was the about 1980 team. It turns out the story of the 1960 team is just as, if not more fascinating. I was actually invited to tag along with Andrew and Tommy for a day while they were shooting in the Twin Cites. Not only was it cool to see them do their thing, getting to meet two of the 1960 team members in person was pretty special - I had never met an a gold medalist before. They even let me look at the actual medal. It was really refreshing to see someone who has truly accomplished something great, demonstrate such humility.

If it wasn't for this film I think a lot of people would have never known this great bit of history. Similar to their first hockey doc Pond Hockey, these guys know how to make great films that everyone can enjoy hockey fan or not. Order both as great gifts this holiday on forgottenmiracle.com

Mia in Black and White

I have been wanting to post an album of all Black and Whites. And these few were perfect for it.

October in November

I can't believe its almost thanksgiving already. We have done our best to make the best of the nice weather we have been having. Going on lots of walks, the Como Zoo, and a quick photo shoot yesterday in the backyard. I have never been a big fan of flash photography, but recently got the 430exII. It is taking some practice, but I am really happy with a few of these shots with the sun at their backs.

She is also starting to talk to us this week. So blasted cute. We had a "practice" day care day with the 2/3 grandmas that went REALLY well. Nonetheless Mol isn't overly excited to start work this week. Luckily its a short one. Mia did sleep 8 1/2 hours STRAIGHT on Friday night.

Mia's first Ely Deer Camp (with the ladies)

This weekend we realized how much stuff Mia has already. The car was packed full for just two nights - and Molly still had to get more diapers. Thankfully we got an early start and there was no traffic. Mia slept the whole way (just over 4 hours) both ways. She is smiling more now and making all kinds of different faces. She is trying really hard to make more noises but hasn't really figured it out yet. She does make a really funny snort noise a lot though.
