Saturday Snap – I’m On A Boat!

Had a really enjoyable time on Grandpa’s pontoon boat for a few hours on Saturday afternoon…

Saturday Snap – Uno

Had a pretty wet weekend at the campsite (including a bunch of folding chairs and other stuff getting drenched when a storm blew up unexpectly when we ran to town Saturday afternoon for groceries) But the rain also held off at different points allowing us to have a couple nice fires and even some fireside […]

Welcome Back, Aunt Sandi!

For over a decade, my Aunt Sandi has come from Kelowna to visit us for about a month every spring. Obviously, that hasn’t been possible for the last couple years and we debated back and forth whether to do it this year since she has some pretty serious respiratory issues and although our entire immediate […]

Saturday Snap – First Day At The Campground This Year!

Went out to clean up our seasonal campsite and do some work to get it ready before we move in our camper next week. There were forecasts for rain and even thunder showers so we had debated whether to even go or not.  But other than a couple sprinkles, no rain all day – just […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Smile! (May 2014)

I love watching my kids grow but I miss when they were small too…mostly because you could dress them in ways that were as entertaining to you as a parent as anything!

Secular Sunday – The Only Demon Summoned Was A Scary Dad!

Sasha had her ninth birthday today and though we had a pretty mellow art/painting/Bob Ross theme for our budding artist, as most pre-teens have for years, someone ended up suggesting they do “Bloody Mary” in our bathroom. Six girls crowded in the dark bathroom with the door closed and once I realised what was happening, […]

Saturday Snap – Happy Ninth Birthday, Sasha!

One thing I’ve noticed on Facebook is how many parents mark their children’s birthdays by acknowledging how proud they are that their child is kind and smart and funny and all that sort of stuff. It’s almost like it comes out of a factory with how every kid has such similar qualities. Sasha turns nine […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fire Fighter Cousin (May 2011)

Pace looking up (literally) to a fire fighter cousin in Calgary…

Saturday Snap – Kids (and Dad?) Having Nothing But Fun

Sasha had her last swim class Friday night which usually means fun and games since the learning is done and the report cards are finished. Unfortunately, the instructor wasn’t able to get the water carpet hooked up properly so I leapt (crouched?) into action to hold it in place while the kids played on it… […]

Saturday Snap – A Gift of Oranges

Sasha had permission to invite a friend over to watch a movie this afternoon and somehow that grew to five girls showing up today to watch movies, eat pizza, and hang out for a few hours. (We approved this but also chuckled at how it snowballed!) We’ve been (mostly) careful through all of Covid but […]
