On Christmas Eve we had a little family outing to the rink and I got to take Gwen for a bit of a spin around in addition to playing some hockey with my cousin’s children.

It was not as drastic as last time but I had my first haircut in almost 18 months this week. Couldn’t risk Gwen not recognizing me so has to keep it simple.

As far as Gwen is concerned this may as well be the Infinity Gauntlet with all of the Infinity Gems installed. The moment I fully assemble it she will stop whatever she is doing and come pull it apart and distribute the rings to all corners of the room to keep the house safe.

First televised Penguins 🐧 game was today so Raquel broke out the tiny jersey she got Gwen when she saw us watching the game.

This Christmas Eve is a bit different. We welcomed Guinevere to the world at 11pm last night. No tree or lights in IWK for us but I am happily trading it for these snuggles.

Baby Gwen snuggled into my chest for our afternoon nap.

Raquel is 32 weeks today and we went to an ultrasound to figure out if the kid is going to be a giant baby like their father. They did their best to dodge the camera but were happy to show us their foot.
