About Us

Victoria, BC, Canada
This blog began as a modern "baby book" for our first child, Finlay, who was born in December of 2010. The recent addition of Seamus, born in January of 2013, has meant continued efforts to put into words and pictures his early years. We also use this forum to catalog our family life: two loving partners, two beautiful kids, car-free, child-centred, attachment-focused, with a love of food and health thrown into the mix!

Auntie Car-Car Comes to Town

August 24, 2011

Finlay's Aunt Carleigh is visiting on her way home from Australia and boy are we ever having fun together!

We went to the beach and played with Finlay's friend Henry (they're in a band together, hence the tambourine).

Finlay leaked after his picnic.

Playing us a tune.

Finlay and Carleigh together at the beach.  She finally made it onto the blog!

We couldn't get Fin to look at the camera because there was so much to look at that was way more interesting.  This is probably the 20th shot of the three of us standing in this spot.

Great beach day!

We went to Salt Spring Island for a short day trip (trips are shorter with a baby!!)  This is Finlay and Auntie Car waiting to get onto the Ferry.  You can't see it, but his hat says "Cheeky Monkey" and gets lots of comments because he is pretty endowed in the cheek department.

Mama and Finny on the Ferry.  He fell asleep in the Ergo promptly after this photo.
 Finlay laying back and enjoying the ride in his stroller.  We walked around the market and some shops, we ate a picnic on the park lawn at the market, listened to some live music, and had such a great time we forgot to take pictures!



Another milestone - Finlay is standing and holding himself up!  I keep my hands nearby to catch him when he falls but he really enjoys the view from up there.  Here he is at the pub before the ferry back home.

"Let go mum!  I can do it myself!"

Checking out the view.

"Check it out, Auntie Car!"

"The beers are on me!"

On the docks in Fulford Harbour.

We had a beautiful day!
