Friday Fun Link – Share Some Unique/Insightful Ways You’ve Heard A Child Verbalize Something That’s Become Part of Your Own Vocabulary

Pace’s portmanteau word “ness” is one of the most upvoted comments on this Reddit question although all of the answers are great (with that said, I’m glad it wasn’t my kid who liked to say “cockporn” instead of “popcorn”!)

Saturday Snap – How Babies Are Made

Shea’s mom shows Pace and his cousin the video I linked to earlier this week which shows how babies grow in a mommy’s tummy. They’re quite enthralled…

2013-03-27 – Seven Things In My Brain This Week

Finding the A&W at the Cornwall Centre food court closed for renovations tonight, a co-worker suggested that we should “nationalize the fast food industry.” I helped a visually impaired patron mix up a protein shake the other day.  Now *that’s* customer service! 😉 If politics is like sport, losing the leadership race by 44 votes […]

Music Monday – “L’Odyssée de la Vie”

No words for me to quote in the title of this week’s post like I usually do.  But the epic choral and instrumental music is a perfect soundtrack for this awesome video as Shea and I are down to around a month or so until our baby comes!

10 Things I’m Looking Forward To Now That #skndpldr Is Over

Spending time with my family – I think Pace was starting to suspect daddy had gotten married to his computer since I was spending more time with it than him and mommy the past few months! 😉 Finishing getting ready for the addition to our family – apparently we’re having a baby in two months […]

#RIPStompinTom – Thanks For Being The Soundtrack To My First-Ever YouTube Video

Stompin’ Tom Connors died today. Shea and I had the privilege of seeing him at the Calgary Folk Fest and is usually the case for old vets like him (see Dolly Parton at Craven or any number of “vets” who’ve come to Regina Folk Fest), he came out and stole the show. How fitting that […]

@ryanMeili Monday – What Role, If Any, Does Family Play in the #skndpldr Race?

I hope everyone had a Happy Family Day (as brought to you by the Sask NDP in 2007…although to be fair, the original and longest-standing Family Day in Canada was brought in by those pro-family, and apparently anti-business, Conservatives in Alberta.) So what other topic is there to discuss today except what impact the candidates’ […]

Happy Birthday Shea!

Much love from your boys!

Conception to Birth Visualized

Other than the fact that the scientist presenting this TED talk should know better than to hint that the complexity of human evolution as being so amazing that it evokes divinity, this is a pretty cool video… (A bit more on the idea that just because something is complex, that means it must be divinely created […]

Saturday Snap – Manitoba Children’s Museum

During our trip to Winnipeg last weekend, we visited the Manitoba Children’s Museum.  One of the highlights for me was seeing that every single exhibit area had picture books scattered around that tied into the theme of that exhibit – the train that you could climb on had transportation books, the exhibit that let you […]
