So cool to hear on Skatebuzz.com commentary on my "little Doll" who is dynomite...like me..
ps. why is there only a part of the top picture on site? i see that a lot lately and noted that others talked about it, what fixes it - i never did see the end of that thread
Thanks guys We are pleased to see results.. The skating can run 30,000.00 at year at this level.. With the Gold win she can get some show money and sponsorship from Skate Canada
The new skating scoring, can show how all the kids are doing across Canada They have been the highest scoring in Novice all year Todays performance was top Junior level scoring!! For age 12, she doing well...
What I like, is her attitude off ice.. if you meet her in a croud of kids, she would'nt know she was a champ..
PICTURES Some will load for me and then go 1/4 don't know why C2

Wow....a souce of pride for Canadians. Carl must be proud! My first grandchild is in the oven now. I think I better find a less expensive sport. I've attached a few pics of the "Golden" skater in my family. Kenya is also devoted to excelling at her sport! The pics where she is wearing blue is this week in Missisauga.

Excellent news for you too!! So nice to see the kids being active in sports.. Keeps them busy, and out of mischief..lol
My grand girls, are also skating in Canada Games in Halifax next month..
Thank you for all the well wishes.. Barb and I have been here 43 years (from N.B.) and never had family to show off kids to.. Now we have our Poncho family
It is great to see someone you love excel at a sport that they love. And you are right indeed, the scores show that they did "kick butt". Maybe we can see them in the next Winter Olympics. Then we may hear some real "big time" bragging from Carl lol.
