Saturday Snap – New Year’s Day Waterslide Chase

We booked rooms at the local Travelodge for New Year’s Eve intending to do some watersliding with Shea’s parents, her aunt and Pace’s cousin.  That’s what we did although when we went down to the pool and the pool attendant informed us that New Year’s Eve is their busiest day of the year in the […]

A Censored Girl’s Name? How Timely!

Seeing that Iceland has a list of approved names for boys and girls and that they’ve taken away the name of a 15-year old girl that somehow slipped through their bureaucracy after being baptized with an unapproved name initially, makes me want to name our baby Blaer just on principle!

Saturday Snap – A Historic Document!

Shea and I were cleaning out the basement today and came across the note I’d sent her mom acknowledging receipt of a damage deposit before Shea moved into a condo my family owned by U of R. I always joke that Shea couldn’t pay her rent one month and next thing I knew, we were […]

If, like me, you’re not quite ready to let Christmas go for another year, here’s a video medley of a bunch of different Christmas songs (bonus for the number of UK-centric Christmas songs that are a bit less well known on this side of the pond): (via /r/christmasmusic.  You may also want to check out […]

It’s A Girl!

A pretty awesome Christmas gift! Shea and I got to find out the sex of our baby at the same time our parents did earlier tonight. During our last ultrasound, we got the tech to put the sex of the baby in a sealed envelope then handed that to a trusted friend along with a […]

Five Differences Between Christmas Concerts For Pace and The Elementary School-Aged Me

Pace had his first Christmas concert (actually “concerts” – see #5 below) today. That got me thinking about the ways they’ve changed since I was a kid. [Edit: Someone pointed out many of the differences are as much about rural vs. urban approaches as generational which is probably true.] First off, when I was a […]
