Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Card House (December 2014)

It’s not quite “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” level decorating and I really should’ve gotten my butt up a ladder and extended the lights in that cedar tree in the front of our house right to the top. But I’ve always liked coming home to a snow-filled yard, some green and red floodlights, a blow-up decoration […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – No More House (July 2018)

We only went once before, for my birthday last year, but were sad to show up at a local restaurant called the Neighbourhood Pour House yesterday to find the doors locked. Shea did some digging when we got home and found an announcement that they’d closed their doors very recently but their flagship restaurant, Jack […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – His Love of Parkour Started Early! (March 2012)

(This is also the cleanest his room has been in seven years as well since we’d cleared it out while preparing to paint it.)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Ten Kids in a Tub

One of my favourite pictures at our family cottage is this Anne Geddes picture. My dad has nine siblings and since this photo showed ten babies, all ten of the kids in his family were able to sign their name, in birth order, from left to right. I’ve said it before but it always amazes […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Going South (February 2015)

Our family on a plane heading to the Dominican Republic in 2015 (and part of how we afford our holidays? I still wear that same t-shirt four years later!) 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – When My Football Jacket Still Fit (October 2011)

This photo was taken while going through some old clothes at my parent’s house in October 2011 (which happened to be a point in life where a football jacket I bought a two decades earlier sometime around 1991 still fit – something that’s definitely no longer the case!)

Throwback Thursday – Elvis Has (Not) Left The Building (May 2011)

I think it’s been eight years since we were last in Calgary which happened to be a weekend visit which combined a 50th Wedding Anniversary for a Calgary-based aunt and uncle and a 50th birthday party (featuring an appearance by The King!) for a Calgary cousin. Here’s a picture of my dad with eight of […]

Throwback Thursday – Calgary Highlights (2001-2004)

Shea and I lived in Calgary for about three and a half years right after she graduated from nursing school. It was an amazing city to be young in with tons to do – restaurants, bar, attractions. As we prepare for another return visit (the first time back since Sasha was born), here are my […]
