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!

So... when was June?

June 29, 2011

I can't believe that the month of June is nearly over!  We were very busy and didn't seem to have many moments of "normal."  I've missed more regular blogging and some really special milestones.  Finlay is six months old and he has two little teeth coming in.  Also, he's starting taking piano lessons (just kidding, see video below).

But, from the beginning of the month we've been in Ontario, home with house-guests, or sick.  Hopefully July will be more relaxed.  I have posted some pictures and a couple of videos below.

Our friends Rachel and James stayed with us.  They gave Finlay a little piano to borrow while he is a little guy.

He showed these two musicians a thing or two about song.

 We got a play-mat for Finlay.  It's a great place to hang out and play... or enjoy a morning coffee.

Went to Hilary and Calvin's place for an excellent picnic in their beautiful garden.  Homemade buns, veggie pate, salad - so good!  

I made some more S'mores Cupcakes.  They turned out pretty and pretty tasty.

Busy month, but happy!
