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 […]
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 […]

Owen’s Fourth Birthday
For Owen’s actual birthday, we had our families over for birthday dinner and cake. Owen was very excited to open some of his birthday gifts that evening. Then there was cake, Owen’s choice, Dairy Queen Ice Cream cake with Bumblebee (Transformers) on it. We all sang and this was Owen’s response to our singing… And […]
Busy Workin’
The May long weekend is always a tough one to guess on how the weather will be….will it be cold and snow (yes it can and has snowed on the May long weekend), will it be hot and sunny, will it rain? Lucky for us, this year the weekend was hot and sunny. I had […]
Swords and Boys
How to sword fight must be a boy thing, that they just know how to do. I was always awkward at sword fighting, my poor brother had two sisters to teach and try to sword fight with and it always ended with him laughing at us and us leaving pouting because he was laughing at […]
