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

Pace turned six this weekend and I know it’s cliche but man, time has really flown. I haven’t had a chance to update this montage of photos we’ve taken with Pace and a stuffed Oscar the Grouch doll every three months of his first year and then annually since then so it only goes up [...]

A Few Random Thoughts on Pace’s First “Real” Birthday Party

So now that Pace is in kindergarten and turning six, we decided to have his first “real” birthday party with a bunch of friends rather than just family members and/or a friend from daycare like in previous years. Here’s some random thoughts about what we did for Pace’s party this year and why… – in [...]

Saturday Snap – Happy Sixth Birthday, Pace!

Shea and her first baby on his sixth birthday… (Well, the actual day is tomorrow but the party’s today which is causing a bit of stress for Pace – “But if my birth day’s tomorrow, how can we have the party today???”)

Sasha is One Month Old!

I’ve been taking at least a photo of Sasha every day since she was born. I’d seen various videos made from daily pics of babies, kids and others over the years but didn’t put a lot of thought into doing this with Sasha until, oh, pretty much the day she was born. While hanging out [...]

Music Monday – “Oh Mr. Mom/Balancing check books, juggling bills/Thought there was nothing to it/Baby, now I know how you feel/Oh Honey, you’re my hero”

Back to work today after two and a half weeks at home with the new baby is pretty tough. I keep telling anyone who’ll listen that I’m really jealous of two guys I know who are both relatively new dads – one is a University professor who (I assume on purpose) timed his sabbatical year [...]

Saturday Snap – “May the Fourth Be With You” Nerd Family Edition

A few different shots in honour of perhaps the nerdiest day of the year: I’m not a programmer but via a handy online interface, was able to create my own watchface for my “21st Century Calculator Watch“.  There’s also a web site with lots of other cool watchfaces others with greater skills than my own [...]

Saturday Snap – Mom’s Lifetime Membership in SUN (and some thoughts on where she’s influenced me – it might not be where you’d expect!)

One benefit of being home with the baby for a couple weeks was that Shea, Sasha and I were able to slip out one afternoon earlier this week for one of Sasha’s first-ever outings. We snuck into the SUN AGM & Conference to see my mom receive a Lifetime Membership from the organization (she’d also [...]
