A photo from this weekend ties in nicely to a thread I started at AskMetaFilter today (and if you haven't read “The Prince of Frogtown“, I'd highly recommend it!)
This is a shot of Pace up to no good at the Weyburn Public Library after watching Weldon the Wacky Wizard, our summer reading tour performer.I have no idea how Shea (dark brown hair) and myself (medium brown hair) managed to have a kid with such blond hair. (Of course he was conceived somewhere around […]
…We All Scream For Ice Cream! It was a very eventful weekend for Pace – hitting the beach, encounters with local celebrities, visiting Wolseley – a nearby town that has a lake in the middle of it, watching mud derbies, taking his first ride on a tube behind a boat and more. Shea has her […]

After waking to ominous grey skies, we made the call to keep the party at Nickle Lake rather than moving into Grandpa and Grandma Thompson's house in Weyburn for Pace's birthday.
