Owen and Brandon are growing up too fast for me; while the things they are learning and how independent they are becoming is exciting, that baby / toddler stage is slowly slipping away and it’s a little sad. Well, I’ll always have my pictures to look back on! Owen really is enjoying puzzles right now; he […]

Oilers, skates and sea lions
Last weekend our neighbours had tickets to the Edmonton Oiler’s hockey game (Hockey Day in Canada); so Sean and Owen went to the game. Owen was very excited, he got to drive to the game in a pick up truck and then eat popcorn and wave a big foam hand around. Brandon was pretty upset, almost devastated, […]
Valentines Day
As for Valentines Day, we had a special evening planned for Owen and Brandon. Aunty Claudette came over with her waffle maker and made heart shaped waffles for dinner, followed up with valentines sugar cookies. Sugar rush! Owen and Brandon thoroughly enjoyed the waffles…homemade is always the best. After waffles and cookies, Owen enjoyed putting […]
Valentines weekend
Each holiday seems so much more fun now that there are kids involved. I bought some hearts and cupids, some door hangers and hearts for the windows and decorated the house. Owen and Brandon thought all the little details were so exciting. The weekend of Valentines was filled with red, pink, hearts and lots of […]
Daddy Time
So I have recently found, or made, a small piece of time each week for me. Yes all the books, magazine, etc talk about it all the time, but it’s easier said then done. It took me 3 1/2 years or so but I figure out what I wanted for me time and thankfully I […]
Owen, my helper
Owen is growing up, I say it all the time, but it’s true. Owen has taken on a new role in our home — Owen helps to get Kosmo his food. Owen has figured out if he uses his step stool he can reach into Kosmo’s dog food bin and fill the bowl up. He […]
A little Brandon time
We’ve had a busy few weeks, thus the lack of updates, sorry to all who follow. I think of you daily but I have yet to figure out how to stretch the hours to fit everything in, plus maintain my sanity. One very exciting event happened a few weeks ago… A little background info first…Owen […]
Winter birthdays
Winter birthdays are always tough with the cold and the snow. Aunty Dar and Uncle Jim are lucky enough to have their birthday’s in January. Each year we plan to get together to celebrate and each year we have to rebook due to bad road conditions, piles of snow, wintery winds…you get the idea. After […]
The past week
It’s been a tough week. Owen and Brandon seem unusually tired and are rubbing their eyes at supper time; getting through bath time, snack time and story time were at times, rough. Owen’s potty training has stalled a bit this week; Mom and Dad are trying hard to keep their spirits up and keep encouraging […]
Brothers
So it all worked out, Owen and Brandon are the best of brothers and friends. It was a tough year and a half, maybe even two years but it is so worth it. It is so much fun to watch them talk to each other and play together and then to see them show compassion […]
