This weekend we ended up with some beautiful fall weather. We had a bunch of errands to run in the city yesterday and had originally planned on taking the kids to the discovery centre as a way to break up the day. Since it was so nice out we instead decided to take a walkContinue reading “Beautiful Autumn Weekend”

Apple Picking
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”
Noah’s Birthday Party
Today we had Noah’s birthday party with all his friends. We rented the local community centre which has rooms you can have the part itself in and then access to the gym as well. 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”
