Music Monday – “I can see him right now knees all skinned up/With a magnifying glass trying to melt a Tonka truck/Won’t he be a sight with his football helmet on/That’ll be his first love/Til his first love comes along”

I would’ve sworn I posted this video around Pace’s first day of kindergarten but apparently, I only put it on Facebook. So, instead of a rare re-post of a Music Monday song which I thought it would be, this video gets to be posted for the first time here to celebrate Pace’s kindergarten graduation today. […]

Saturday Snap – Definitely Ready For Grade One!

Hard to believe Pace is done Kindergarten next week – this year has really flown! He wrote this out without prompting the other day. Obviously, he’s got that alphabet-thing down – bring on spelling! 😉

Sasha: Two Months in Two Minutes

I did this for Sasha’s one-month anniversary but that was cobbled together quickly and didn’t have dates or even every daily photo that I had in those first 30 days (I was working with limitations of the iPad software I used to make the video.) Anyhow, I’ve done something similar for her two month anniversary and like […]

Sometimes The Hardest Thing To Do As A Parent…

…is to say nothing at all. Let me explain what I mean… For the past couple weeks, I’ve walked Pace to a park near our house every evening. One of his classmates lives across from the park and is usually there playing already and, depending on the night, they could be the only two kids […]

Fun at the Fair #yqr

Regina’s main summer fair is the Queen City Ex in August but there’s a smaller fair that sets up earlier in the summer each year in the parking lot of a random local mall. The wristbands for unlimited rides costs the same as the “big” fair but there’s no gate admission charge and instead of […]

One From The Archives – Jason Interviewed on Medicine Hat Local Access in 2002

Found this clip buried in a folder on my hard drive… One thing I’ll always remember about this trip to a writing event I helped organize in Medicine Hat in 2002 – why do event organizers (even other writers who should know better!) often provide a huge meal right before an event when the energy […]

One Memorable Moment From Each Year I Was In School

Went with Pace while he rode his new birthday bike over to a playground near our house. Along the way, we passed the house of one of his kindergarten classmates who was playing in her front yard and then, at the playground, another classmate happened to be there playing as well. As I sat on […]

Saturday Snap – Thanks Aunt Sandi!

For the past month, my Aunt Sandi has been visiting from Kelowna. Having lived most of her life in Regina, she moved to Kelowna when my grandfather was getting older to look after him and ended up staying there after he passed away. We sure miss having her in Regina but love her annual visits […]
