Tomorrow morning I’m starting back to work after the second part of an extended parental leave. I’m so thankful that I was able to have this time to spend with my family. Throughout the leave my emotions ran across the spectrum really. Especially in the beginning it was all great. Jen was still off onContinue reading “Starting back”

First Camping Trip
For the past couple of years I’ve been slowly buying some supplies for camping. Lots of our friends and family love to camp and have been trying to get us to join them. We’ve been doing day trips to meet up with them and do the fun things without having to set up, tear down,Continue reading “First Camping Trip”
18 years
As a family we have a lot of celebrations throughout the autumn, we added one more this year, and then right into the winter holidays. Out of all those special days today, January 3rd, is my favourite. Today is the 18th anniversary from when Jen and I were married. We never have big celebrations orContinue reading “18 years”
Ezra
Jen told me from early on in our relationship that she would like to have ten children, while I told her I’d be happy with three. Like most things in our life we compromised, though she keeps getting closer to her number 😃 This past year has been yet another of ups, downs, and surprises,Continue reading “Ezra”
Meet Oakley
We added a new family member recently, meet Oakley! Oakley is 9 weeks old and is a Golden Retriever / Yellow Lab mix. He is a very good boy. I’ve been hesitant on getting a dog for many years. Caile has been steadfast for all these years wanting one. She never asks for anything butContinue reading “Meet Oakley”
Staycation Scavenger Crawl
Like many people our original plans for this summer have drastically changed. We were going to use my Sabbatical from work to spend time in Alberta visiting family. As that couldn’t happen we decided we would see some of our local area that we don’t spend enough time in. We had started going to placesContinue reading “Staycation Scavenger Crawl”
Cape Split
Today was the first day of my Sabbatical from work. Three months were a all my typical excuses are no longer valid. I have the time and ability to do a bunch of things I’ve been putting off. I started today with one thing I’ve been putting off for a long time. Not really intentionally,Continue reading “Cape Split”
New Car – Hyundai Kona
For a while we’ve known it was getting close to time to pick up a new second vehicle. We have a large SUV, Chevrolet Traverse, which is an eight seater and our main family vehicle when we go anywhere all together. It is an all wheel drive and we use it most of the winterContinue reading “New Car – Hyundai Kona”
Kentville Pumpkin People 2019
Our town has a fun tradition for the month of October. We have the Pumpkin People pop up all over. Each year is a different theme, but I really like this years especially. It is Toon Town, showcasing a bunch of classic cartoons. This morning we got up and went apple picking again with familyContinue reading “Kentville Pumpkin People 2019”
Trying baseball
If you’ve been following along at all you’ll know that basketball has been the main sport for Noah. He loves it and constantly wants to be playing or watching it. He’s tried other sports before when he was younger but none that stuck. For a while I’ve been wanting him to try something else againContinue reading “Trying baseball”
