Isaac Bennett Stamp was born October 7th; by the beginning of November we had found a weekend that worked with every one’s schedules so that we could take a trip to Airdrie to see Uncle Derek, Aunty Colette, Zoe and Isaac. We explained it all to Owen and Brandon and the one thing that they […]

Just like Daddy…
Daddy spends many hours at the computer working on his business; Owen and Brandon will take breaks from play time and stop to see what Daddy’s doing. This particular day Brandon was especailly interested and needed to sit on Daddy’s lap and “help”. As you can see Brandon has watched Daddy at work many times […]
Halloween
Halloween is finally here; Owen and Brandon have had a fun-filled weekend of everything Halloween. Friday was dress up and party at day care. Saturday was dress up for gymnastics and now Sunday promises of pumpkin carving in the morning and trick or treating in the evening. Aunty Claudette, Grandma K and GG came over Sunday morning […]
Gymnastics
Today is Saturday and that means two things are a given — a trip to Tim Horton’s for breakfast and gymnastics. Today is also the Halloween weekend and that means Owen and Brandon get to wear their Halloween costumes all weekend. We like the Tim Horton’s on 184 street; it’s quiet, on the way to […]
Happy Birthday
It’s a little late, but Happy Birthday Aunty Claudette. Aunty’s choice for her birthday was chicken fajitas and rice. Uncle Phil did an outstanding job cooking the chicken — this means Uncle Phil MUST always have dinner with us when it’s chicken fajitas. After dinner, came the surprise birthday cake — Aunty was touched by […]

Baking and Decorating a birthday cake

So for Aunty Claudette’s birthday (October 29th), I thought it might be fun for the boys to help bake and decorate a birthday cake for her, plus I knew she would think that was pretty special. Over a couple evenings […]
Craft Time
Owen and Brandon moved to daycare in the summer months, they have learned a lot and enjoy daycare so very much. So much that sometimes on the weekends, Brandon tells us he wants to go to daycare today! One thing they do a day care that our day home didn’t do much of and we […]
The witching hour and the silly hour
Evenings are hectic and short, before bath time the boys are usually irritating each other, cranky and uncooperative – the witching hour. After bath time and into their pyjama’s, the boys are happy and full of energy – the silly hour. They are very helpful at bath time, taking their clothes to the laundry hamper […]
Brandon and Kosmo
Okay okay, it’s been a while; I’ve been trying to fit everything into a day but some things end up getting bumped to the next day and then the next and then the next… Brandon has started showing an interest in everything to do with Kosmo, our pup. Brandon never paid much attention to Kosmo, […]
