Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Homemade “Baby’s Coming!” Photoshoot (April 2013)

The Scottish runs deep in me so I was too cheap to do a professional photoshoot when Shea was pregnant with baby #2. Instead, using our camera’s timer, a tripod, and the poor lighting in our basement, we did our own photos (which turned out to be only a couple days before Sasha was born!) […]

Five Highlights of Camping (August Version)

Between Shea and I, we camped a personal record of 62 nights this summer from May to September including two 2-week stretches, every weekend, every long weekend and probably a few extra nights we managed to squeeze in here and there. Here’s some highlights from the month we just wrapped up… 1. Cornhole Tournament My […]

2021 Back to School

Back to school was a bit different this year as the kids were going in two different directions at two different times. Pace heads to his first year of high school (which also means an earlier start time – 8:30am) while Sasha is on to grade three (with the usual start time of 8:53am for […]

Back From Camping (and Five “Redneck” Moments)

Eternal optimist that I am, I keep saying that Covid has had some unintended benefits. One of those is because we couldn’t do a winter trip this year, it also meant we had more holidays to take in the summer – two weeks in July but also two weeks in August which we don’t usually […]

Saturday Snap – Campfire Reading

Love to see Sasha using a headlamp to keep reading by the campfire after the sun goes down…

Saturday Snap – Happy Father’s Day!

Everybody in this photo has two doses of vaccine (except our teen who has one and our kid who isn’t eligible yet.) Feels really good to get close together on the couch for a family picture before a delicious steak supper!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Mask Wearing in the “Before Times” (June 2016)

Browsing my photos, I occasionally come across a photo of someone in the family wearing a mask and it’s weird to think how unusual it felt at the time – when Pace had to go into isolation for a weekend after presenting with some weird breathing (later diagnosed as childhood asthma), when I’ve gone in […]

Saturday Snap – Skater Boy

Pace is really good about walking his younger sister to and from every school but he was clearly excited that she’d gone out to the lake with her mom on Thursday while he wanted to stay out and go with me after I finished work today. “Can I write my skateboard to school?” he asked […]

Eric Carle, Author of “The Hungry Caterpillar” Among Many Other Classics, Has Died

Very sad news. We had a “Hungry Caterpillar” themed birthday when Sasha turned one that was a huge hit – great decorations (mostly homemade or from the Dollar Store), a “Hungry Caterpillar” dress ordered off Etsy, and her (at the time) five year old brother even did a reading of “The Hungry Caterpillar” using a […]
