"JCB Song" – Nizlopi

Last year, I posted a series of videos during the week of Christmas so I thought I'd carry on the tradition this year.  “JCB Song” is a great song to start with this year.  It's not really a Christmas song but was contender for the UK Christmas #1 a few years ago.  The song has […]

Links From All Over

Housecleaning isn't just a physical activity anymore – now, I find I have to take the time to clear out my virtual detritus every once in awhile too.  So here are some links and articles I've had kicking around for awhile waiting for a good time to post.

Is This Paper Important, Daddy?

“No, it's just my CLA membership renewal, son.”  (Just kidding – it's actually the address insert from the latest Feliciter.  And hey, at least I didn't give him the shrink wrap to play with!)

Happy Six Month Birthday Pace!

You hear it from everybody but there's still no way to prepare for how quickly the time flies.  Six months already.  Wow.  (Full disclosure – the picture on the right is from his THREE month birthday.  I don't have a current version of this shot but will get one next weekend.)    Latest milestone – […]

Ready For The Big Game

Pace needs to work on his game face but he's young – it'll come.  (And no, that's not spilled beer on my leg.  And yes, it's baby drool.) On a related note, we went to see Brent Butt at Casino Regina for my staff Christmas party Friday night.  I have a completely unprovable theory that […]

Five Controversial Things We Do In Raising Our Baby

Pace has a new cousin!  Almost six months to the day after he was born, Pace's cousin, Dennon Robert Thompson arrived in very similar circumstances – breech position requiring an unplanned c-section.  It was a weird sense of deja vu for me all day – finding my way to the labour and delivery unit, sitting […]

Make Your Friends/While You're Still Young/Before You Can't See Through/Anyone

As a follow-up to yesterday's post about Pace's first black eye, here's a great song about a parent's ever-present fear about their child coming into harm.  If I remember correctly, Gord Downie wrote it after watching a young woman barrel racing at the Calgary Stampede and wondered how he would feel about his own daughter […]

First Shiner

It had to happen sometime and the first of many to come, I'm sure.  (I'm just glad it was his mom who let him do the face plant into his exersaucer instead of me!  But then again, is it wrong that I took a photo of it?)
