Anticipating the appearance of the Backyardigans this afternoon as Pace had a water-themed day – swimming lessons in the morning, “Under the Sea” Backyardigans show then watch a bit of “Finding Nemo” on TV when we get home….
I told this one on Facebook but I don't think I put it on the blog. A few nights ago Pace was throwing toys so I gave him a time-out in his room. Then we hear his little voice: “Mom – backpack!” Shea goes in to see what he means and gives him the backpack […]
In my ongoing quest to give a theme to every single day of the week on this blog, I've decided to start the “Saturday Snap” recurring feature to highlight a photo I've taken – usually from the past seven days but occasionally something from the archives or maybe even a cool photo I find online. […]
…although these are quite a bit better quality than usual since we got a real photographer to take them as opposed to me whipping out the iPhone and going “Hold it!” anytime Pace does something cute. (Funny story – we were at Central last Saturday and one of the pages saw Pace run by. Then […]
Usually when I read TechCrunch, I find stuff that gets me excited about some new web site or technology. And don't get me wrong – the make-your-own-Medieval map site, Kidlandia – is something I find pretty cool too. Still, it's rare to find something that gets me excited about technology on behalf of Pace. But […]
On the long weekend, we made a loop hitting Fort Qu'Appelle (a resort community an hour outside Regina), Katepwa Beach, our family cottage on the other side of the lake, our farm, Indian Head where I grew up then down to Weyburn to spend the night with Shea's folks at their camp site. Here's one […]
Living in the age of e-mail, Facebook and pre-authorized payment, I had a moment with Pace today that is a rarity in today's world. When I bought my iPhone, I didn't think to sign up for pre-authorized payment so I had to write out a cheque and walk a couple blocks to the nearest mailbox […]
As is probably quite obvious, I try to post to this blog on a daily basis at the minimum. I occasionally miss the odd day (and even then, I sometimes back date posts the next morning to keep up the daily post record – if you see a post dated anytime within ten minutes to […]
This is one of my favourite iPhone photos so far. (I guess Pace is taking our lessons about sharing to heart!)
I first posted this video last Christmas but I think today's a much more appropriate spot for it. The underlying truth about Father's Day that I realised this year is that it isn't so much about celebrating fathers as it's a chance for fathers to celebrate their kids. (With that said, there's no reason a […]
