Earlier today I made it home after my first work travel since January 2020. It’s been a long time since I’ve been away from my family like this, and I’ve never been away from Ezra like this. It was awesome to get to see my team in person. Most of who I hadn’t met inContinue reading “A warm welcome home”

Starting back
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”
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”
Alex’s and Ezra’s Home

When I first found out the news that our family was going to be growing it took me a while to come around as I know first hand how hard it is to be a young parent. SelfishlyContinue reading “Alex’s and Ezra’s Home”
Happy 10th birthday Noah
Today may youngest child turns 10 years old. That makes me feel both old and happy. I’m so proud of all my kids and the people they are growing into. I’m sure this won’t last many more years but for now he is one of my best friends. Soon he’ll get too old and notContinue reading “Happy 10th birthday Noah”

Tonight I was digging through Noah’s backpack looking for his homework book that goes back and forth between school. It wasn’t there, but I found a little piece of paper buried underneath his snow pants. Apparently a few weeks ago as part of a smaller group of the class they did an exercise where theyContinue reading “That proud teary eyed feeling”
All out in the open
Yesterday our home moved into a new era. One where none of the kids believe in things like the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause, and the Tooth Fairy. Just a couple weeks ago Jen and I had been talking saying that it likely wouldn’t be very much longer before Noah was questioning about these things. AsContinue reading “All out in the open”
Alex’s Spring Concert
Last night we got to go to Alex’s Spring Concert at school. Before hand Alex was very excited to go, when she got home from school she right away wanted to go and get changed into her concert cloths, even though it didn’t start until 6:30 pm. For a couple weeks Alex had been practicing herContinue reading “Alex’s Spring Concert”
Alex’s Skating Carnival

Even though this is her first year in the Can-Skate program she has advanced to level four already. Alex’s group did their routine to “Dancing in the Rain”. They didContinue reading “Alex’s Skating Carnival”

She woke up from her nap to find the house decorated with balloons and streamers and just kept sayingContinue reading “Ella is Two!!”
