We had a great thanksgiving weekend in Peterborough this year. It started with Melissa meeting me at work with the kids so that I could leave from work and hopefully avoid traffic. The reason I wanted to get a head start was that last year when I came home on Thanksgiving Weekend, a 2 hr drive turned into a 5 hr nightmare because of traffic, … Continue reading Thanksgiving Weekend 2012

Abby lost her 2nd tooth this morning during breakfast. She came running into the room to show me as soon as it happened. She then put it in a ziploc bag and left it on the counter until bedtime. Later in the day I accidentally threw the bag with the tooth in the garbage not seeing the tooth in it. Fortunately we were able to … Continue reading Abbys second tooth

Last year I tried to put Aiden in a fire truck … Continue reading Family Day at the park

As you can see from the video she mostly just hung there, but I was really proud that she tried, especially since all the other kids there were at least 4 yrs older than her. As the saying goes when you are at the bottom you can only go up. So the next … Continue reading Abby climbing rock wall

On Monday September 10th Aiden went to school for the first time all by himself.

Abby lost her first tooth tonight. It had been loose for a couple of weeks but finally fell out tonight just before bed when she was getting a drink of water. She was really excited to get the tooth under the bed so that the tooth fairy could bring her a “toy” or “coin.” Continue reading Abby lost her first tooth
We went to our 4th annual Christmas in August and despite the rainy weather, it was an awesome trip. We left on Thursday and headed up to North Bay early this year so that we could help set up on Friday. As you can see by the picture we had some great supervision while setting up the dining tarp. However, it did not survive the … Continue reading 4th Annual Christmas in August
