Hard to believe our little girl is two years old today! Here’s a video I made of the (roughly) daily photos I took of her during her first year, something I’ve continued to do although a lot more sporadically in her second year. Mobile friendly version…
Like many Canadians, I’ve always been a huge hockey fan. I’ve got the requisite pictures of myself around three years old playing hockey against my grandma’s legs as she sits on the couch, I was one of those kids who could name every player on every team plus their hometowns, stats, and shooting hand.

With two games left in the season, the Calgary Flames can clinch a playoff spot for the first time since 2009 and also eliminate the Stanley Cup defending LA Kings if they beat the Kings tonight.

Pace suggested it would be better to have the words in different colours on this post…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day (one day early)! Iron Brew was a Celtic band in Regina in the late 1990’s-early 2000’s. The lead singer was the husband of one of my bosses at the Sask Publishers Group.
