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!

First Bicycle

January 2, 2012

Well the new year has officially begun and there are a lot of changes happening in the Harvey-Grant-Roach home.  Finlay is going to be heading off to day care this week and Lyndze is back to work at the Y. I recently purchased a new bicycle from MEC and Finlay and I will are going to be commuting to daycare on our new bicycle together.  This past weekend we attached a new baby seat to the bike and took Finlay for his first bicycle ride.  There were not tears but he was a little unsure as to what was going on. Finlay loves riding in the grocery carts when we are out shopping so I don't think this will be too much different.  

 We strapped Finlay in and got all the straps adjusted. Lyndze was out there lending a hand for the trial run!

 Finlay at first appeared indifferent to the whole event. I however was very excited.

 There's a little smile!  I knew he'd like it.

And off we go!  

Finlay enjoyed his first ride. We had some giggles and some smiles.  We are going to start commuting together to daycare on Thursday.  Wish us luck!!
