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!

Sick and Better

January 2015

January began with some rest and relaxation, followed by two birthdays...

Then, there was this:

First, Fin got sick.  Then I seemed to have a fever...  AND Fin was booked for surgery that day!
Ty took Fin to his surgery, which went great, despite his congestion.  
On the day of the surgery, Seamus also had a fever.  This photo is post-op, at home, all of the sickies.

Still cute.

This one really captures it.

We watch A LOT of Netflix.

But, then we got better (well, the kids did).

And Ty and the kids made waffles.

And Shay did more cute stuff.

And there were cookies...

They look a little older than in this photo, taken one year ago (January, 2014).

We love watching the cookies and cupcakes bake - you can see them change and grow!

Just like Fin and Shay!

Cupcake batter...

Shay got the whisk, Fin gets the bowl.

I swear, the entire month we were sick or baking to forget our sickness.
