Pace has recently added “kisses” to his bag of tricks. When you say “kisses” or make a lip smacking kissing noise, he'll do the same thing. That's pretty cool in and of itself but the other night, he was sleeping on the couch between Shea and I. I leaned over him to give Shea a […]
This is a shot of Pace up to no good at the Weyburn Public Library after watching Weldon the Wacky Wizard, our summer reading tour performer.I have no idea how Shea (dark brown hair) and myself (medium brown hair) managed to have a kid with such blond hair. (Of course he was conceived somewhere around […]

Well, we're back from Calgary and it was a great trip! Pace was an amazing traveler, we saw lots of friends, family and old familiar sights. In many ways, it felt like we were trying to cram three and a half years of memories from when we lived there into just under a week of […]
Read at Work is a site from the New Zealand Book Council that allows you to read classic books, poetry, samples from selected New Zealand authors and more, online and formatted to look like either the Windows XP interface and Powerpoint presentations. Very fun and cool (though I do not, of course, advocate performing non-work […]
I couldn't think what to post about so Shea suggested I give an update from my real life. So here it is…– tonight we went for a big walk and ended up in River Park just down the hill from where we live in Weyburn. There was an In Motion celebration going on and Pace […]
Kiva is a web site that helps facilitate micro-credit loans to entrepreneurs around the world. (As always, Wikipedia has more information about this organization if you're interested.)
