Winnipeg!

This gallery contains 40 photos.

Here’s one from the Archives! Back in October, we headed out to the ‘Peg to visit Kathleen, Brian and Maddie. We were a little leery after learning from Kathleen that “a Winnipeg Handshake” was a euphemism for being stabbed, but we steeled our nerves and out we flew. Isabelle’s immediate and exciting discovery was that […]

Isabelle turns three!

Quick birthday update! Yesterday Isabelle turned three and we celebrated in Victoria at my parents’ house with family and a ton of Tinkerbell decorations. She awoke to balloons, an umbrella and a party dress, and the day just kept getting better. Cousins Maddie, Mollie and Anna were the little attendees, with Kathleen and Brian, Brian’s […]

The new seal habitat is pretty sweet, and they have great plans for further arctic enclosures, so hopefully it will be less guilt-inducing in the future. Isabelle was especially […]

Cold Snow and Hot Chocolate

This gallery contains 22 photos.

We interrupt our irregularly scheduled program to add some pics of fun in the snow, and Isabelle’s first hot chocolate! Midway through the 10-25cm of forecasted snow for the day, I headed out with Belle to shovel the walk. Michelle joined us soon after with the camera while Elodie was napping, and we snapped a […]

House Wrecker

This gallery contains 11 photos.

We’ve known for awhile that one of the houses across the street was going to be torn down, and finally one day, it was. It was pretty neat to see, actually. They started at around eight in the morning, and by the afternoon all that was left was a big hole. Guy and Shirley had […]
