Stressy Stressy
Last week was stressful because Amelia has not been feeling 100% and has had some troubling symptoms. We did get in to see the doctor who sent us off to do some bloodwork and whatnot done. The good news is they didn’t call us immediately to come in *phew* so whatever is bothering her is…

Sweder Berries
We went on a little adventure this weekend to pick berries at the u-pick farm called Sweder Berries (approx. 30 minutes south of town). It was a drizzly drive and I was immediately regretting my decision to wear tennis shoes instead of my rainboots – I also had not anticipated needing the kids’ rainboots or…

Back to Work
Happy Thursday! (photo above is a composite I made the other day, there is also a blog entry below this one I forgot to send a notification out on) Today was my second day back to work since my maternity leave ended, and it has been going tickity-boo. I was worried I was going to…

Trials and Tribulations of the Pool

As I mentioned previously the vinyl liner spent the fall, winter and spring in a heap covered in a rotating arraying of…

Backyard Fun
This is the first summer in 5 or 6 years that we have not had major landscaping or construction around the house. This means that this is the first summer we can literally just sit and enjoy the backyard – phew! at last. There is the small project of putting the swimming pool up, but…

Bye bye door handle and Staying Cool
We have had a busy week helping my parents finish some renovations, going to my nephew’s baptism, getting our heat pumps installed and staying cool in the warm weather . . . oh and losing our door knob. We took the kids to the Church early so we could play on the playground before the…

Lost Stars to Budding Biker
Daycare had another potential covid exposure that left them short staffed this week, so we kept Amelia home from daycare today to help them out. We went to Church first thing in the morning to practice during the short morning mass, then the group of us went to D’Lanos for a family breakfast. I remember…

Fevers, Starbucks, Sunshine and Dresses
We have had a fairly quiet time since my Uncle left because Amelia spiked a fever on Friday after coming home from daycare – I kind of thought she looked a bit off in the morning, but checked and her temperature was fine and she insisted she “felt good”. When she got home she was…
