Here is the second of two parts of my catch-up series for this school year. A number of abbreviated postings glossing over what has happened so far, trying to simply get caught up and not three months behind. Here is Xavier during one of the cross country meets. Ciáran had a bit of improvement over…
While I posted the first day of school pictures, I have been lax with pretty much everything since, including both cross country and soccer seasons. I have a couple of posts to get an overview of how things have been going. Here is Grace having a snack in the middle of the kitchen. Note the…
This is going to be it, the final entry in my “catch-up” series for the summer. Then it is on to the beginning of the current school year. Grace turned two years old over the summer. While she may not have completely grasped the concepts, she did enjoy herself. And who doesn’t love presents?…
Still playing catch up with things that happened over the summer. Here is the August entry of the Geek Fuel subscription box. The salt and pepper shakers. The game. August really likes the shirt.

There are so many pictures of this place I could post, but really, what I want to do is encourage you to go yourself if ever in the Victoria B.C. area. Fort Rodd Hill And the Fisgard Lighthouse were certainly a highlight of our trip. Some of the buildings are set up to display how…
Just a short blog post for today, Thanksgiving, at least here in the United States. I know Canada celebrates in October, but that’s not where I live. Anyway… At this morning’s spin class the instructor had a set list full of songs about being grateful, giving thanks and having positive feelings. It was an admirable,…
‘Twas the day before Thanksgiving and all through the store everyone was scurrying, trying to get more, For an ordinary dinner would not be enough this would be the day for to overstuff. Each basket was bursting with fare for the table a wondrous feast to consume all they were able. I had my list, and…
