Right now I’m supposed to be high in the air flying across the country. Having my boys experience looking out the window and down at the clouds. The force of takeoff as you rush along the runway and then feel the wheels come off the ground. Watching the trees as they get smaller and smaller.Continue reading “Not so fast”

Noah’s first day of work
Today I’m feeling proud as a father. Yesterday Noah has his first real full day of work. A couple of summers ago we hired my friends son, who had started a landscaping business, to replace our front lawn. Since we put it in it was terrible. The hydro seed never took and it was mostlyContinue reading “Noah’s first day of work”
After the storm
We had a pretty good snow storm over the weekend. Everything was canceled including school today. This afternoon things cleared up a bit so Ezra and I got out to play some. Running around the snow, making snow angels, some shovelling, and a bit of a tunnel / fort. It did us both good toContinue reading “After the storm”
A warm welcome home
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”
Ella on Asparagus
At supper tonight Jen mentioned that she wished the kids liked asparagus. Ella speaks up and says: Gross. I like asparagus as long has it is covered in cheese and ketchup.
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”
That proud teary eyed feeling
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”
A tale of two sisters
We woke up to find out that schools are closed again today, the third day in a row, due to snow and road conditions. Noah was up first can came to check if there was school and was excited about the news and delivered the news to two of his sisters. He came back toContinue reading “A tale of two sisters”
Childhood Excitement
Last night I had a bit of a strange dream. In it, I was a young child again, probably about Noah’s age 9-10, and I randomly ran into and was able to meet Fred VanVleet. For those of you who don’t know Fred VanVleet is a basketball player for the Toronto Raptors, and someone IContinue reading “Childhood Excitement”
