On Easter weekend this year, the kids and I went straight from my work at the end on the day on Thursday. Melissa picked them up early from school and met me at work. This allowed us to get on the road realtively early and beat the traffic and get home in time for supper on Thursday evening. On Friday afternoon we all went to … Continue reading Easter 2013
Aiden performing a magic show in preparation for the next buskerfest. I am not sure where he learned to ask for money after he performs his act, but nevertheless he is ready. Continue reading Aiden’s Magic Show
On Family Day Weekend, I went to Mom & Dad’s for the weekend. It was a very relaxing weekend. On Saturday morning, Julie came over with Macklan and visited for a little while. The kids helped to feed Macklan some breakfast and then snuggled with him on the couch, which made for some cute pictures. On Saturday evening we went to the Allison’s for supper, … Continue reading Family Day 2013
On Feb 8th of this year, it snowed about 30 cm in the city, which is the largest dump of snow in the last few years in Mississauga. The last time it snowed like this was probably Valentine’s Day a few years ago, which was the last snow day that we had. We spent the morning in the house enjoying a movie or two and … Continue reading Snow Day 2013
This is video of Abby playing the Cowboy song, which is very relaxing song that she really enjoyed playing. It took here a little while to get playing it at the right pace, but once she got it she really enjoyed it. She is really enjoying piano and is moving onto a new set of books and with hopes to take the Level 1 Exam … Continue reading Abby Playing Cowboy Song
Aiden finally got to go skating for the first time on Jan 8th. As you can tell, he was pretty excited, and so were we. He went to the lesson with Melissa because it happens during the school day, but I really wish I could have been there. However as you will see, the pictures that Melissa took made it feel like you were actually … Continue reading Aiden’s First Skating Lesson
There has been a good amount of snow this year by Mississauga standards (which means snow that stays on the ground for 2 or more days consecutively). This has given us the opportunity to get out and make use of the backyard to make some snowmen. The first one of the year was made just after New Year by Abby & Aiden and myself on … Continue reading Making Snowmen Winter 2012-2013
While Abby had done a little skating with me last year, this year I signed her up for skating lessons because it was quite difficult to find time to get there without Aiden and it was almost impossible to teach them at the same time. And also, even though I have been skating since I was 5, I found it quite difficult to teach her … Continue reading Abby’s Skating Lesson
For the previous several months the kids have talked about nothing but dinosaurs. They have watched dinosaur movies, been reading dinosaur books and been playing imaginary dinosaur games around the house. While Abby didn’t really have a particular favourite, Aiden seemed drawn to what he called a long neck (AKA Diplodocus). So we decided to go to the ROM on the Thursday after New Years … Continue reading Visit to the ROM
This was the first year that Melissa was home for New Year’s in several years. One of the main reasons she was home was that both of the kids begged her to take off New Year’s so that she could come to Steven & Karen’s New Year’s Eve Party. They had been begging her since she missed it last year, which was the first time … Continue reading New Year’s Eve 2012
