Another (Minor) Covid Milestone?

I had been in Pace’s high school for various reasons over the years – through my work, for political events, when the kids’ elementary school Winter Concerts were held in the much larger high school auditorium. Of course high school is a bit different than elementary school but still feels strange that tonight was the […]

Saturday Snap – Kids (and Dad?) Having Nothing But Fun

Sasha had her last swim class Friday night which usually means fun and games since the learning is done and the report cards are finished. Unfortunately, the instructor wasn’t able to get the water carpet hooked up properly so I leapt (crouched?) into action to hold it in place while the kids played on it… […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fantasyland Hotel (February 2014)

With international travel still a bit uncertain (especially if you ended up having to extend your stay due to a positive test at the destination or isolate when you got home), we’ve decided to book a trip to Edmonton where we haven’t been since 2014.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Kauai/Maui Trip (January 2012)

A co-worker recently told me she’s going to Kauai and I am incredibly jealous. Kauai might actually be the single most beautiful place I’ve been on this earth and Shea still says Anini Beach is one of her favourite beaches of all-time.
