Gavin started hockey about a month ago. He'd been asking to play for over a year, so I gave in to his persistent requests. The reason I was dragging my feet is because I wasn't ready to dive in to this new culture. From what I've heard, hockey can take over your life, not to mention your pocketbook. So far, I'm pleased to say it hasn't changed our life too much. And Gavin is really loving it. I'm having fun watching him play, too.
