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!

Bunk Beds!

July 1, 2012

They arrived!  They were built!  And they are currently being enjoyed!  Everyone who comes to our house is promptly asked to come see the bunk beds.  Fin is so proud!  

Carleigh helped (although she was under the weather) with the building part.  It took us all day!  Thank goodness Shay was extra sleepy!  Here is a video of the big reveal!  



He looks up at them as though he is laying eyes on the Sistine Chapel.

Loves the ladder.  He is already pretty proficient in ascending.  Still working on descending. Right now we have to help him down.  Pretty soon he'll be jumping off of them though.  

"Looka Mama!"

"High up!"

Where do you want to sleep Fin?

He can touch the ceiling!

He looks so little up there but what a big kid to be ready for such big beds!

First night was on the bottom bunk.

"Night, night!"

Since then, he has been sleeping on the top bunk.  It is so nice for us to snuggle up there and read books together!  Both Tyler and I were getting so sore when reading him to sleep.  Ty and Fin actually fell asleep cuddled up together in bed last night.

Our biggest thanks to Carleigh for assisting in construction and to Nans who ate and breathed bunk beds for weeks in the search and order of the perfect beds (they are perfect!).  Thanks so much!  I am sure they will be enjoyed for years!
