Saturday Snap – Nickle Lake Hail Storm

Spent the weekend at Shea’s parents’ seasonal camp site at Nickle Lake. Had a bit of an adventure as there were tornado warnings on Saturday afternoon.

It’s A Small World (Or At Least A Small Province)

So after yesterday’s post, I got a comment from a friend that he was related to the Peets who are from the same area as my mom’s family (Mom’s maiden name is Peet). After a few messages back and forth, we determined that the connection was that my mom’s cousin was married to his stepfather’s […]

Who Do Our Kids Look More Like?

Recently rediscovered My Heritage’s “Look-A-Like” app where you can upload photos of different people and it will tell you who looks more like whom. (Usually you’d upload pictures of two parents and their child to see who the child resembles the most but we also experimented with comparing my aunt to my sister and I […]

Last Day of Kindergarten

What’s that word for when you’re feeling an equal mix of happiness and sadness? That’s what I feel when I look at this photo of Pace waiting for the bus on his last day of kindergarten… (Okay, mostly happy but a twinge of sad!)

Discussing Pace’s First Day of Kindergarten

When the year started, he was still working on learning his alphabet, now he’s regularly writing out complete sentences (phonetically – […]

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 […]
