Throwback Thursday – #tbt – First & Last Day of School (September 2018/June 2019)

The last day of school is the perfect day for Throwback Thursday. I love how Sasha’s face changes from resignation and uncertainty in the first picture to utter joy and relief in the second. (And even Pace’s near-teenaged face has a hint of smile to it today compared to September as well!) 🙂

Goodbye to Our Babysitter (and Some Thoughts On A Lucky Life)

When I did my ten part series on the things that have been major factors in making me who I am today, I thought about finishing with a post about a few things – liberals tend to think in terms of “privilege”, right wingers might think of it as “hard work”, the superstitious might just […]

Saturday Snap – This Is The Picture My Wife Sends Me While I’m Being #SaturdayLibrarian

The rest of the family gets a trip to the museum and ice cream; I get to talk to people about chemtrails, flat earth theories, and how Disney hides secret messages in their movies, all while being #SaturdayLibrarian. 😉

Saturday Snap – Jurassic Park, Regina

Sasha and I enjoying the Raptors’ championship win on Friday night with ~20,000 of our closest friends! 😉

Saturday Snap – The Best Part of Camping Without Daddy?

Shea and Sasha went out to our seasonal site this weekend while I stayed in the city to work and Pace stuck around to play video games visit his Aunt Sandi who is visiting from Kelowna. Shea sent me this picture and said Sasha told her it was the best camping ever because “daddy isn’t […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Tree of Tears (July 2015)

About four years ago, we came back from a camping trip to find that a neighbour’s tree had split and was being removed. One of the branches hung over the fence into our yard and Sasha had some tears when she realised she’d no longer have a swing.  I had tears too but they were […]

Saturday Snap – A Little Leprechaun Indeed! ;-)

Sasha recently presented us with this piece of artwork which required us to very delicately sit her down and have her talk us through some of her artistic choices. The blue hair, the dangly gold earrings, the check-mark smile and oh, by the way, what is that picture on the front of the shirt? “It’s […]

Bowling Birthday

Her actual birthday is on Tuesday but we had great fun at Sasha’s “bowling birthday” today. (And as an aside, as someone who dabbles in creative writing, I love studying the ebbs and flows in the popularity of names from generation to generation.)

Saturday Snap – “Go Outside to Play and Don’t Come Home Until Supper!”

We didn’t actually tell her that but Sasha’s been doing it old school today – being outside between our yard and the neighbours’ playing with their kids all day. This is a pic I took over the fence.  I wonder if they’re making plans for havoc during Sasha’s birthday party tomorrow???

Saturday Snap – Calling Lakes Road Trip

After running Grandpa and Grandma out to Indian Head after they returned from a month in Australia/New Zealand, Sasha and I decided to have a little adventure of our own by taking the scenic route home. We stopped at the family farm where Sasha got to drive down the lane (watch the road!!!)… …meet a […]
