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!

Amazing April (so far)

April 4, 2013

We've been having such a great month.  The weather is starting to get dryer and brighter.  Spring has sprung.  And we are steadily getting the hang of having two little ones and they are getting used to have very tired parents.  As both kids are napping right now, I won't press my luck and write a lot.  Also, this keyboard is rather sticky from one toddler that shall remain nameless.  So here are some picks with brief comments.

A beautiful blanket arrived from Rosemary and Allen.  Blankets are handy in our cold and damp climate. I love all of the colours!  Thanks for thinking of us!

Here is Fin out in his vest and enjoying the warm air and plentiful sticks and flowers. Outside is fun!

Grandma visited and brought lots of sunshine and with sunshine comes lots of park time.

Finlay loves the park and is getting really interested in testing his physical strengths.  Balance seems to be one of them.

He climbs like a monkey.  The only way to get him to limit his climbing on the furniture is to encourage him to climb at the playground.

I climb!

Grandma and baby Shay.

Lots of hugs with Grandma!

Spring flowers!

The cherry-blossoms are almost done for the year!

Some strong smelling flowers that Tyler is allergic to.

Finlay is really into parachute flowers.

Bedtime stories with Grandma.

Evening snuggles with Grandma.

I apologize for the lack of details.  Hopefully Tyler will have a moment to write about his mother's trip West soon!  We so enjoyed having her here!  Pictures will have to suffice for now!
