Forgetful Sunday Morning
For once we were actually running a little early for church this morning. Jen decided to take advantage and run into Wal-Mart quick to pick up a couple things so we didn’t have to stop on the way home. We dropped her off at the door to save time and then went and found aContinue reading “Forgetful Sunday Morning”
Baby girl turns nine
Today my baby girl Ella turns nine years old. She had her friends party this weekend with cupcakes crafts. But today is her actual birthday and it is just family night. Each birthday Jen lets the kids choose what they want for their birthday meal and dessert. Ella is not hard to please she wantedContinue reading “Baby girl turns nine”
A Proud and Grateful Son
From a very young age my Mother and I were good friends. We had four years where I was the only child and we grew a strong bond. Even though she was really almost a child herself she spent time with me, read to me, played with me, and talked with me. I’m convinced that anythingContinue reading “A Proud and Grateful Son”
Skylanders Obsession
My son may take after me a little bit. When I was young it was Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES. The hours I spent on that game is likely unbelievable.

One of the new parts was a Sherlock Holmes mystery. They had eight chapters to the storey, each with theirContinue reading “Discovery Centre Fun Day”
So Much Snow
Pretty confident that the last time we had this much snow was February 2004, in the storm that was dubbed White Juan. Here’s a few pictures of the front yard so far this month, where’s my bench? Watching the wind blow around this morning made me try to wait as long as possible before goingContinue reading “So Much Snow”
Always Something
It really seems like there is just one thing after another that comes along. Just two weeks ago it was poor Alex at the hospital with an awful migraine. Last night it was Caile’s turn to end up there because she had a bumps all over her. It started with just a couple but beforeContinue reading “Always Something”
Natural History Museum – Dinosaur Exhibit
We’ve been trying for a while now to find the time on a weekend to get into Halifax to do something fun with the kids and get some errands done at the same time. It seems like there has just been one thing or another get in the way though. There have been a fewContinue reading “Natural History Museum – Dinosaur Exhibit”
