Only partly tongue-in-cheek, I often think that the best Christmas I ever had was when we were living in Calgary and Shea had to work on a 7am to 3pm shift on Christmas Day, leaving me all alone for the day. It sounds sad but it turned out to be a wonderful, relaxing, enjoyable day. […]

Music Monday – “Your love is like an ocean/That always takes me home/Whispering wind is blowing/Telling me I’m not alone” #gc101 #greycup #yqr #riders
Well, in the end, the Riders held on to win the Grey Cup yesterday in a game (and really an entire season) that felt pre-destined. The Grey Cup losses in 2009 & 2010, the Grey Cup being held in Regina for only the third time in its history (and last time at historic Taylor Field), […]
Two Reasons I’m Thankful Today (And Every Day)
I get to regularly witness scenes like this (I especially love how he leans in to hug her after making her giggle!)
Friday Fun Link – A Very Special Tattoo
As I mentioned yesterday in my random thoughts about the McCartney concert post, one of the things I learned in advance of the show is that McCartney often picks out someone holding a sign in the front rows and brings them on stage to meet them or accept the gift they’ve brought or whatever. Regina […]
Four For The Price of One (Friday Fun/Saturday Snap/Sappy Sunday/Music Monday)
We were out of town this weekend for Shea’s parents’ 40th Wedding Anniversary so I didn’t get around to blogging as we were pretty busy the whole time. Instead of going back and post-posting (er, is that a word? Backdating posts to keep my “daily post” commitment going anyhow), I thought that, this time I’d […]
“A Mother’s Prayer” – by Tina Fey
And a father’s prayer too (especially that part about not lying with drummers)… 😉
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!)
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. […]
Discussing Pace’s First Day of Kindergarten
Hard to believe that tomorrow is Pace’s kindergarten graduation. The past year has flown by in so many ways – when the year started, Pace was an only child; now he’s a big brother. When the year started, he was still working on learning his alphabet, now he’s regularly writing out complete sentences (phonetically – […]
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! 😉
