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!

Pride aka "Christmas in July"

July 7, 2013

Pride was a big hit with Fin this year.  It's like any other holiday in that at his age he is really starting to get into the spirit of things.  The parade was well done.  Not a lot of loud horns and scary sirens but lots of engaging music, costumes, dancing, an organic lolly or two, and plenty of half-naked, happy people.  Fin didn't want it to end.  

Seamus also enjoyed the parade.  There were lots of boobs.

He also tried a raspberry.  He's more into boobs than berries.

There was lots of family fun to be had at the Pride Festival following the parade.  Like this little classic of posing as a narwhal and a unicorn.

If only they had a onesie in Shay's size.  

We set up our picnic near somewhere between live music and bouncy castles and Fin was in heaven.

Then Mimi and Alyx showed up and he was a dancing, bouncing, raspberry-inhaling, "Happy Pride"-ing AND happy little munchkin.  

There were new dance moves.

Old ones too.



Picnic time!  I would have brought more cinnamon buns had I know all of these folks would be there!

Then it was over.

One lolly and no nap later...  it was still over!

"I wanna do it again!"  

Next year!
