Happy Birthday Mommy. Owen and Brandon were just as excited for me for my birthday. They helped to open my cards and enjoyed my birthday cakes – yes plural – with me. The Saturday before my birthday, we had a bbq’d chicken dinner with corn on the cob, potatoes and caesar salad. The weather was […]

Oh Canada!
Happy Birthday Canada! I think it’s official, I think our trip to the legislative grounds each Canada Day is now a tradition. Yes there are people everywhere, yes you are weaving through crowds with a chariot but there is so much to do and experience, that how could we miss it! Of course the first thing to do is get […]
And everything in between
And I have a bunch of great pictures that happened in between everything else and they are so great, I can’t just keep them to myself. One evening, Owen grabbed a hold of Daddy’s keys; Owen’s comment was Now I get to sit in Daddy’s seat in the van! Oh Owen, Mommy doesn’t want to […]
How does your garden grow?
I think I have mentioned this in past posts, but this year I planted a vegetable garden with the basics – carrots, peas, green onions, lettuce and a few extras – green peppers, broccoli and sunflowers. It’s nearing the end of June and I am quite pleased with my garden. There are plants growing and […]
Mom and Dad Time
We have a number of people who are so good to us, who give us opportunities to get out on our own without the kids tagging along. Those breaks are especially appreciated by Sean and I. In June we had one such evening and as it was such a wonderful sunny evening, we took the […]

The Ice Cream Man!
That faint song in the air…it’s a small world after all, it’s a small world after all…you know what that means when you hear that tune – well it must be the ice cream man! It was another warm day in June and Owen and Brandon were helping me move rocks from our pile on […]
BBQ at Emily Murphy Park
It was that time of year again, a beautiful Friday afternoon in June and how better to spend it than at Emily Murphy Park for hot dogs, chips and watermelon followed up with some time on the swings and pictures with Mommy. Owen waited patiently for his lunch to arrive – funny faces is a […]
Trip to the Playground
There were a few days in June where the weather was sunny and the mosquito’s had not yet gotten bothersome. That evening Aunty Claudette was over and Owen and Brandon wanted to show off their bike riding skills and ride to the playground. Aunty and Dad were all for it and headed out. Owen was […]
Budding Photographers
As mentioned last month, Owen and Brandon have shown interest in using Daddy’s “old” camera and taking pictures….just like Daddy does. Well another photoshoot happened and well, of course I want to share their pictures. First it was Owen’s turn and he chose to take some portraits, Daddy and Grandma K were more than willing […]
