Throwback Thursday – Locked in The Camper (August 2015)

I told this story soon after it happened but now, five years later, it also qualifies to be a “Throwback Thursday” post as well. At the time, we were at Shea’s parents’ campsite getting ready for supper and no one was paying much attention to Sasha in the camper as people bustled in and out. […]

Happy 13th Birthday to Our Teenager!

Hard to believe our first born turns 13 today! His timing is good too – his younger sister was very angry that she had to have a virtual birthday last month but now that covid restrictions are loosening up a bit and we can have “family bubbles”, Pace got not only an in-person instead of […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Traditions (December 2007)

Feeling sentimental knowing we won’t have Christmas here this year, I was looking through my oldest photos for a picture of one of our first Christmases at our current house. Unfortunately, since we bought our house in 2004 and our first digital camera in 2006 (and all our old-school photo albums are in boxes somewhere), […]

(Belated) Throwback Thursday – #tbt – That’s A Switch! (April 2008)

Pace used his saved up birthday/Christmas/babysitting money to buy himself a $500 Nintendo Switch the other day – a long ways from when he was a year old and having fun on the $50 desktop computer I bought from Southeast Regional Library after they decommissioned it.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Go #Flames Go (December 2007)

My son has been a Flames fan since his first Christmas in 2007. I’ve been a fan a bit longer – I’m not sure when I switched from the Islanders being my favourite team to the Flames (mid-90’s?) but my fandom definitely clicked into overdrive in 2001 when Shea and I moved to Calgary and […]

Throwback Thursday – I Feel A Bit Guilty About This Photo Knowing Shea Was 8 1/2 Months Pregnant… (March 2013)

…but I think it was her choice to do this, thinking it might help hasten Sasha’s arrival! 😉

Thanks Aunt Sandi!

Our annual visit from my Aunt Sandi, who stays with us for a few weeks around Pace’s birthday each year, is over for another year. It was another great visit with lots of laughs, great conversations, delicious meals and we even survived having windows installed in our guest room while Sandi was here. See you next […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Smile? (July 2014)

For a brief period of time, I loved the devil face Sasha would make when you told her to smile! 🙂

Music Monday – “There are things that make me dad/You seem to be all of them.”

I used this song for a montage when Pace turned six but really think of it as “Sasha’s song” since it was the first song I sang to her in the delivery room after she was born. Pace’s first song was more planned – I knew I wanted to play him John Lennon’s “Beautiful Boy” […]
