We went apple picking as a family today at Noggins Farm Market just outside of Wolfville. It was like we were tourists in our own town. There were so many people around all looking to do the same thing. Enjoy the Autumn in the Annapolis Valley and take a tractor pulled wagon ride back toContinue reading “Apple Picking”

Wapuu Family
I posted this originally internally at work, but it is cute so I thought I’d share it here as well. The kids love Wapuu almost as much as I do. My newest little nephew now fits into his Wapuu onesie better so we figured we’d get a picture with everyone in their shirts. So weContinue reading “Wapuu Family”
Happy Birthday Caile
September is a busy month in our house for Birthday’s. There’s Noah, my Father In Law, Alexandria, and today is Caile’s day! My little Caile turns eleven today. She’s growing into a wonderful person with a great sense of humor, compassion, and a little smarty pants as well. Tonight when we were driving together andContinue reading “Happy Birthday Caile”
Jen has Started Blogging
Over the years I’ve tried a few times to get Jen to start blogging. Maybe if I had ever kept it up for a solid amount of time myself she would have been more inclined to start. Maybe this time I’ve kept with it long enough that she’s giving it a shot. She’s still workingContinue reading “Jen has Started Blogging”
Pumpkin Planting and Picking
Back in the beginning of June we made, what has become our annual trip to Ross Farm Museum to take part in the Pumpkin planting weekend. It’s a great event where you can go and plant your own pumpkin seed in their fields. They put a large number of stakes in the ground in rowsContinue reading “Pumpkin Planting and Picking”
Photo Bloopers
The other day I was trying to take a picture of Jen and Noah after his birthday party. It turned into a bit of a hilarious disaster and I just kept taking pictures as it happened. The two of them were falling all over the place and laughing. Caile was trying to jump in andContinue reading “Photo Bloopers”

The party had a Skylanders theme. The plates, treat bags, some presents, and one of the games all related around Skylanders.Continue reading “Noah’s Birthday Party”
Happy Birthday Noah
Today is the first of three of my kids birthdays that fall in September. Noah, my youngest, turns six today! He’ll have his actual birthday party with friends this weekend, but there is only a half day of school today so he’ll also have lots of friends here after school to celebrate and have cakeContinue reading “Happy Birthday Noah”
Thoughts on Fatherhood
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about families, and in particular Fathers. Previously I wrote about my own Father, I never really had a role model around except for some old memories and stories about things I specifically would not do as a Father myself. Having just finished Scott Berkun’s book The Ghost of MyContinue reading “Thoughts on Fatherhood”
Reading, Setting an Example
Reading is important to me. It’s something we’ve tried to instill in our children from early on. We’ve always read to our kids since they were very little. Before they could even fully comprehend what was happening. Jen still reads all the time to the young kids she cares for. One thing I’m bad forContinue reading “Reading, Setting an Example”
