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 […]
Merry Christmas…2010
Merry Christmas! We were especially lucky this year to have Uncle Derek, Aunty Colette, Zoe and Isaac here in Edmonton with us and Aunty Jodi staying at our home over the Christmas holidays. We were surrounded with family all through the holidays and while at times it was a little chaotic, a little busy, it […]
Gingerbread…train
Aunty Claudette asked, would Owen and Brandon prefer a gingerbread house or train? Hummm…that would be a tough question. Yeah right, a train of course! Aunty Claudette came over one night with a special craft to do with the boys. They were very excited to see a train and were as patient as they could […]
Christmas tree decorating
At about the end of November we started with the Christmas Tree decorating….there is Grandma K’s house, Aunty Claudette and Uncle Phil’s house, Grandma and Grandpa H’s house and then finally our house. All these houses need Christmas trees and decorating and who better to help out then Owen and Brandon! This was the first tree, […]
