Cookbook
I like how the chair and floor are all kind of ratty in the picture. Some people tried to make ratty seem cool by calling it "distressed", yeah, the distressed look, that's what we're going for.....
I'm good at looking "distressed"....no, wait a minute....
Okay, I love …

New Resolution
It's neat to see the kids totally focused in these pictures. I thought I'd post something because the novelty of the Christmas presents is wearing off and despite having a rather rigorous entertainment schedule the last few days....well, the kids are getting rangy. So …

Simple Christmas
So this year we are not traveling to Manitoba for Christmas. Margo basically finished Christmas shopping in October. So we just get to hang out and eat and sleep and hang out some more.
It's pretty neat because you always think of the traditions your parents have when …

Family Portraits
Recently I've been waking up around 3:00am every few days. Since I have little control over this I figured it would be a good time to get some work done and put up some pictures. Recently, our good friend from the Fresh Aspect took some family pictures at the …

Everyday Livin'
As things slowly get back to the "usual".....it's nice to document the usual, because honestly, how unusual is it to be actually doing the usual.

BABY TIME!!!!!
Margo gave birth to this little sweetheart yesterday at 9:55pm! 7 pounds 14 ounces of pure baby. She's alert and totally poking around checking things out, eating plenty and making some great noises. Like "ACK!"
The home birth was totally awesome, thanks …

Triple Crown Climbing Day!
So, my significant other says to me, "You know, you should go on a climbing trip." and so I says, "Okay". While I was unable to coordinate a multi-day crazy trip (nor did I want to because I end up missing my family after about 8 hours of being away), this Triple Crown …

The Floor Epic
So with some not so subtle encouragement from my significant other, I refinished my hardwood floors on which varathane is curing as I write. As a non-handy person, it was quite an adventure and so I much document the process. On Wednesday morning I dropped Margo and the …
Murillo Fall Fair
Okay, so I fully documented the floor debacle and thought I'd put some more kid pictures up to refocus. Today we went to the Murillo Fall Fair, which is close to South Gilles and features awesome food, animal shows and the wares of many local farmers......I'm not a pro …

That's my boy! Max was keen to go paddle. He had a little paddle that he used to splash, cavort and generally make steering difficult, but after a while I did a brief demonstration and he paddled with surprisingly good form.......I guess it's called Surprise Lake for a reason.

Breakfast of Champions
Our friendly back room spider was securing some Tipulidae for it's morning meal....although I felt that perhaps I should rescue the cranefly, I figure after working so hard our friend the spider should just enjoy the fruits of his/her labor!

Summer Entertainment
Amidst the various slow moving house renovations we are engaged in as well as mild bouts of school and work, Max found the time to help me sort my climbing gear....Cranky the Crane Style. Getting used to my new camera, I find I take blurry pics....working on it though.

The Challenge
So there's this person on VIRB that I've been disagreeing or "debating" with per say.....so in the end I felt that we should write a song together to settle our differences.
I'm pretty stoked to see how this turns out. I'm not a "real" musician so I can afford to do …
