Now if this isn’t the best picture of Owen and Brandon yet!! It was a fluke that we got the shot on the first click. We convinced Owen and Brandon to sit together and smile at the camera for Daddy and the surprising thing for Sean and I, was that we got the great shot! Owen […]

Visit to GG’s house
On Family Day weekend, we also thought it would be a nice surprise for Sean’s grandma (GG so lovely called by Owen and Brandon) if we showed up for dinner Sunday night. The boys enjoyed the drive over, they find the Anthony Henday full of fun and interesting things — counting the overpasses, commenting on […]
Skating for the first time
As promised the very next weekend we took Owen and Brandon skating for the first time. As it worked out, it was Family Day weekend so we got an extra day of skating in. Saturday after gymnastics we headed to Servus Centre in St Albert to use their indoor skating pond. It was a great […]
Puzzles and Pretend Play
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 […]
