Daddy in High Places

July 31, 2015

While we played all summer, Daddy worked. We took a trip to see how the other part of the family lived...

MOMENT: Working World

Our day of "work" was fleeting ... the kids were excited to show up, and it appears they were equally excited to break back out!

Camping at Long Point

July 18-19, 2015

Our family ambitiously headed out for a 24 hour adventure in camping. Lake Eerie was a lot of fun! Beach and waves. Camping was also fun, but more in a sleep-depriving way...

Sand
Sticks
Fire 
Feast
Exhaustion

MOMENT: Tired but Full

There was swimming, wave surfing, fire building, marshmellow roasting, and no rest for the weary (aka: parents). Our large family bed that we imagined with four parallel bodies was usurped by bodies in all angles leaving Daddy salvaging some sleep for himself in the sandy part of the tent without a sleeping bag and Mommy sleeping with a Keva overhead (like a cat) and Tavish perpendicular (like an actual "t"). Ahh, the memories and we'll still probably do it again!

Prince Edward Island - Celebrating 50



"The best thing to hold onto in life is each other"
Happy 50th Anniversary, Mom & Dad


 What a wonderful occasion to be able to celebrate all together for one week in Prince Edward Island...

Happiness
Excitement
Silliness
Energy
Safety 
Culture

MOMENT: 50 is A Lot of Years Worth Celebrating!

A 1,700km drive over 2 days in a small car with a 6 and 3 year old was absolutely worth it to be able to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa Mel. My brother, nephew and Aunt (my Mom's "maid of honour") were there to make the whole thing extra memorable. Fine food. Sandy beaches. Golf. Anne of Green Gables. Waterslides. Cousin time. Goodness.
