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!

May in Rathtrevor Park

May 2015

We went camping!


This was the sunset the night before we left.  We love our home, it's beautiful here, but it was nice to get away, too.

Shay is ready for a hike!

Finlay in the woods by our site.  He was using the 'noc-u-leers' to watch the bald eagles.


Shay used a flashlight like a telescope - monkey see, monkey do!



There was a bike park!

Fin was the best four-year-old on two wheels!

He was also the only four-year-old on two wheels.








Shay was all over the bike park, too.  


He kept up with the big kids.


People couldn't believe how daring he was on that little bike!

Look familiar?




An afternoon nap.

Good morning, Finny!

Just a little bit of rain one morning. 

We watched the mass exodus from the campground while we ate our oats in the woods.

It was actually a lovely morning.

It cleared up by the end of the meal!


"Are there dinosaurs on your water bottle, Shay?"
"Yeah."
"What do you think about that?"


We played in a giant tidal pool!







Shay fell asleep seconds after this photo was taken.

On our way back from the beach.


Its a HUGE beach.

Snacking.

Dinner.

There was a lot of yummy food!

Pizza?

Even the car ride home was fun!

Right Shay?



"Mommy, look at my funny face!"

Rollin'

May 2015

We are rollin' on into Spring!  Fin is doing somersaults!











Shay is truly two - full of mischief and curiosity.


And giggles...





Fin likes to place 'bad gnome' sometimes...
