Get out the popcorn.

They may take awhile to load up. Double click them to play. The snowy one is a bit long, just to give you a heads up.

Toronto, Part II – Around town.

While Michelle wrote her exam, Belle and I checked out the distillery district, had lunch with my good friend Briony (I had a bacon sandwich, she had a swordfish sandwich, at the St. Lawrence Market), and explored Queen street. The next day, after Michelle finished her exam (which we just found out she totally passed!), […]

Toronto Part I, High Park

So off to Toronto we went, for Michelle’s last exam ever! We were hosted by the fabulous Yvon and Claudine and we had a great time in the moments around Michelle’s studying and exam writing. Belle and I also explored our surroundings, and on our first day, spent the day in High Park, playing in […]

New Furniture for Belle!

So we had this bouncy chair that Belle was using as her personal mechanical rodeo bull, and after a few near-gorings, we decided that she needed some new furniture! We went to Ikea and picked out some kiddie furniture, with her help of course, and set it up after she went to bed. Judging by […]

High River Wedding

At the beginning of September, we loaded up the car and headed down to High River for Graham and Emily’s wedding. It was a fantastic time, and the backdrop was stunning. It was great to see such wonderful people get hitched, and we’re so glad that we were able to be there.

Vickers!

While in Langley, we were able to spend some time with the Crescent Beach Vickers (my cousins)! Belle had a fantastic time playing with Luke and checking out her brand new cousin, Eli, while the adults had a great time visiting. Can’t wait to visit again!

Langley and Vancouver

In the second part of our summer holidays, we jetted out to Langley, to relax at our 5-star pool resort in Walnut Grove and visit friends in Vancouver. Belle had a fantastic time playing in the pool, and in the hottub, and in the dripping water from the sprinkler systems, and pretty much anywhere there […]

New Pool!

So with Belle being such a water baby, we decided that we’d better get her a pool. Pools seem to all be on sale now, so we picked up this fancy wader for twenty bucks. It looks like it was a good purchase.

Lake Wabamun

Arriving back in Edmonton, we ran into Chuck and Sonya at the airport (there was also a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins sighting as well) and were able to have a super quick visit and meet and greet between Olin and Belle. Running into them was incredibly lucky, since it required us staying on the plane until everyone […]

Visit Up-Island

We spent our last full day on the Island visiting with family up-island. Isabelle still has all four great-grandparents on my side, and they were extremely excited to see her. She was also able to catch up with two great aunts and a second cousin. It was a fantastic visit and was a great way […]
