Jaia has finally mastered the unassisted somersault. Much to my surprise, as we were sitting there the other day, Jaia decided it was time to do it on her own. But then, she’s always been fearless about it. She had just turned 2 the first time she took a gymnastics class and though she was...

The day Wes turned one month old, Dan’s youngest sister, Annissa, graduated from high school. In Kipling, Saskatchewan. And we were there. That’s right, we braved a 4 hour flight with a newborn.

Today is a special day. I mostly think people are crazy when they talk about half-birthdays, except when it comes to those people born in late December/early January who were seriously ripped off in the birthday department.

We have news! We’re expecting number 2! I’m 17 weeks along and enjoying a fantastic pregnancy. We’ll get a chance to learn if it’s a boy or a girl in the next couple of weeks and are excited to find out. I’m sure it’s no surprise, but Dan thinks girl and I think boy…again....

This was Jaia’s third Halloween, but the first that she *really* got it it. Her costume this time around? A giraffe. Warm, fuzzy and with a huge, hilarious, padded bum. Perfect for doing the Wiggle Bum dance with. Before we headed out trick or treating, we went to our friend Sarah and Barry’s house so...

It was a whirlwind. And it was a amazing. And like nothing I’ve ever seen before. My brother, the groom, looked so handsome. The flower girl, as cute as can be. And words could not describe how beautiful his bride was. They were beaming. Everyone was beaming. I may not have ever been at a...
