Now that camping season has started, I’m into that part of my blog calendar where I’m less likely to keep my “daily post” streak alive but may also come back at the end of the weekend and do some “retro” posts backdated to the days I missed. For example, it’s Monday night as I type […]
We spent the weekend in Weyburn getting our seasonal site ready which is why I didn’t post for the past few days. Here’s a few memorable moments from the weekend… Highlight: Sasha blurts out “This is the best day of my life!” as I push her on the swings. Then, the next day, she says […]
We were invited to a 50th Anniversary of my Hawaiian aunt and uncle (I know, right?) but unfortunately, Hawaiians don’t think of things like “winter” so they scheduled the anniversary for June 2019 instead of January 2019.

After running Grandpa and Grandma out to Indian Head after they returned from a month in Australia/New Zealand, Sasha and I decided to have a little adventure of our own by taking the scenic route home. We stopped at the family farm where Sasha got to drive down the lane (watch the road!!!)… …meet a […]
This is one of those times where you convince your child that they really want something that secretly, you as the dad really want!
Shea’s cousin’s son was profiled by the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital for National Epilepsy Awareness Day. Rylan’s seizures started at the young age of two.
