Trip to Victoria, Part 2

After Craig and Katie headed back to the mainland, we settled into an extremely relaxing routine of putting in studying and work, and then visiting with family and friends. We were able to visit with lots of friends and I was able to drop in at AbeBooks to say hi. Belle was also able to […]

Trip to Victoria, Part One

While Michelle does need to be in uber-study mode lockdown for her final exam, she realized that she could be in uber-study mode lockdown in Victoria (and Langley in August) just as easily as here in Edmonton, so we booked two, two week summer trips to BC, starting with the Island. We arrived in Victoria […]

Muttart Conservatory

Here are some pics from a rainy afternoon spent exploring the four gardens of the Muttart Conservatory. Belle loved the fountains and water features (not surprising, since she’s a definite water baby) and trooping up and down the paths and stairways. Michelle and Belle also signed their name on a pink wall outside a Breast […]

Around Edmonton in June and July

I’m starting with just a few pics from around Edmonton as we start summer, including some of Belle and her friend Eric, Belle and her ladybug roller thing, Belle swimming at the local outdoor pool, and Belle and Michelle in the backyard. The summer […]

Michelle had won her airfare, hotel and entry by publishing an amazing creative non-fiction story in the Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine, so it was a no-brainer for me to tag along and visit the […]

Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day to the greatest dad out there! Mom sure would be LOST without you! -Belle (& Mom)

Is it Bath Time, Belle?

Grandmama and Grandpapa Visit

As many of you know, this visit was supposed to be the visit where Guy and Shirley brought Cooper back from Vancouver after looking after him for us, however while in Vancouver, Cooper succumbed to what was most likely brain cancer. The day after that, Michelle’s grandfather in Quebec passed away, so despite no longer […]

Edmonton in May

We arrived back home in Edmonton at the beginning of May to find that all the snow was gone! Perfect! Especially because Belle decided that she would always like to be outside and will leap at any opportunity to get out there. We figured then it was a good time to take some pics. We […]
