Saturday Snap – Campfire Reading

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

Con-grad-ulations Pace!

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
