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 […]
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 […]
Waterpark
So after many weekends of lead up and then let down (because of that darn snow), we found a Friday and decided to take the day off work and the day off daycare and spend it at West Edmonton Mall World Waterpark. This was a first for Owen and Brandon and it had been a very […]
Galaxyland
Well it snowed again but since the roads were somewhat cleared the week following the latest dump of snow, we managed to brave the weather and head outside. After gymnastics we headed to West Edmonton Mall Galaxyland for the boys’ special treat day. Potty training has been going exceptionally well for both Owen and Brandon […]
Unexpected Snow Day
It was suppose to be a day at Galaxyland, a big reward for excellent potty training all week for Owen and Brandon. When they woke at 6:30 am all they could talk about was when they needed to get their boots and jackets on to go to Galaxyland. We opened the front door and boom […]
Potty Training Treat
We are still diligently potty training Owen and have started training with Brandon even more. Both Owen and Brandon have been having many successes and Mom and Dad are very happy to see such progress. This week Owen took a huge step forward, each night after story time and hugs he calls us to say […]
