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!

4, 3, 2, 1, Ontario!

4 Airports
3 Airplanes
2 Little Ones
1 Mama

Ontario.


I am a rock star.  I can't take anymore of this "your children are so well behaved" crap.
There is no such thing as good or bad kids just parents who work their asses off and those who sit back and try to enjoy their flight.  Bah!

It was Seamus' first car ride.  Fin was super excited to get into a car again too.  We had been talking about the upcoming adventure a lot.  He understood perfectly what was happening and was pretty pumped about it.  Fully awake at 4:45am in the car on the way to the airport.  They both napped at some point.  They were both fed and watered and entertained and snuggled and we arrived in one piece with not a single tear shed.  I almost cried at one point but I found coffee and Fin found a people mover and we were all good.

The journey has been more than worth it.  Seeing Fin light up when he saw the pool.  The way he hugged his family without hesitation.  The way Shay just snuggles in to all of these lovely people.

We took a trip to Sarnia today.  I hadn't been in a long, long time.  Visiting with my grandparents, french fries under the bridge, a thunderstorm...

It's nice to be in Ontario.



Shay is totally cool with this new thing called a carseat.  

Nans lights up for Shay...

Shay lights up for Nans.

Meeting his 7th Great Grandchild.

Fin gets right to work helping out his Great Nanny.

She sure is great.

So cute.


Four generations.  Wow!

More Ontario pictures and stories to come.  Now to enjoy the storm!
