Here I go again on my own

It was a fun Easter weekend. Very nice to get 4 days off. Although days off are less "off" now than they used to be, but that's just become normal. On Friday we attended the Duchess Good Friday service. It was really nice to see many people I hadn't seen in a long time. I also found out more people read my blog than I thought. I know you're out there!
Saturday my family went out to Dinosaur Park. I hadn't been there in several years. It's much the same, but it was cool being there with Evie. She came hiking with us in her snugglie and seemed to enjoy it. I'm glad she likes walking. We got some sweet video of Evie and Kate together that I will have to post. She also got to try out Kate's jolly jumper and seemed to enjoy it.
Sunday we went to church again. Whaaat?! That's right, we do Easter proper. ;) Then there were two family dinner's to attend. Through all this Evie was pretty good. She is really showing her shyness. When people start milling around after a service and she feels her space invaded she gets quite upset. She seems a little more comfortable around Kristin's family than mine. I'm not quite sure what it is. Mostly I think she just needs to get familiar with my family.
Sunday night I got a chance to play some hockey. I was pretty slow but that was expected as it was the first time out this season. It was just pickup hockey with little equipment so that helped. I was also using borrowed skates so I can blame them too. ;) I missed hockey this year. Hopefully next year I can play.
On Monday we finally got a chance to rest. I took Evie to visit Grandma Wipf in the afternoon. Evie was quite good for her and even consented to be held a little.
Kris decided she wanted to stay in Duchess for the week so I headed home alone. I listened to a very frustrating Flames game on the way. They blew a big chance to take first place. However, as I wrote this entry they came from behind to beat Vancouver! Yay! So they have first in the NW for the time being. I love this time of year. All the games are important and exciting. I've been quite impressed by the push the Oilers are making. I actually hope they do make the playoffs, only for the chance of possibly having a Flames-Oilers playoff series. It has been a long time since one of those happened. The Flames-Oilers game on Saturday should be a gooder. A must-watch, I am thinking.
Of course those who follow my license plate ticker will notice the most exciting thing of all. I am one plate away from 100! Oh boy!
Well, I should take advantage of my bachelorhood to sleep.
