Another month of my sabbatical has flown by. We spent 3 weeks during this month on an awesome road trip. Before Covid, every summer for years we would take a road trip, some longer than others, but always something we looked forward to. There is something about driving, the places you get to visit along... Continue Reading →
I wish I could put into words how my heart feels about New England, but I just can't. To simply explain it... my heart is happy there and when I leave, I just feel sad, like something is missing. As a child / teen, I visited Maine a fair amount of times. We lived a... Continue Reading →
Noah isn't a kid that just loves playing basketball, he is also a kid that loves to watch basketball. He likes watching videos of past plays and during the season, he always wants us to record the games so he can wake up and watch them before school. His favorite team is the Raptors and...

Yesterday Sandy mentioned to me that if any tree ever falls for us, it will be this one. I knew this tree definitely had an odd shaped centre causing it to have a bit of a lean, but I didn't imagine it would budge. This morning right before my alarm at 4:50am I heard the... Continue Reading →
Noah started playing basketball quite a few years ago. He was already in soccer at the time and we were simply looking for something else for him to do during the seasons where soccer wasn't running. We decided basketball, because he knew a couple of friends playing at the time. I was never a huge... Continue Reading →
Every weekend since we came back from our Christmas Holidays we have been on the go, often in different directions. Basketball season is in full swing for Noah, Alex works every weekend and Ella & Caile have been fundraising almost every weekend with their dance troupes. We have had lots of time together, but not... Continue Reading →
It is amazing to me each year how fast the summer goes by, but this one especially. We ended our month long trip with a night in New England and a stop at our favorite beach. Next year we decided we will stay a few nights at the end so we can have more time... Continue Reading →
I have to admit that I loved Chicago before I ever step foot in this city. There is something about it, from the time I was a kid that intrigued me. I have been excited to come here for a long time. So much so, that I was almost worried that it would not live... Continue Reading →
We had been far warned that once we leave Ontario and head West our scenery will change and repeat itself for long stretches. You really do not get it until you see it though! We crossed the border into Michigan and headed toward Minnesota for 2 nights. Along the way we stopped at the Air... Continue Reading →
We left Philly early on the Sunday morning. We were heading for our Hotel in Brantford Ontario with plans to meet up with Tif & her family and the Mann family as well in that area. On our way though we had the opportunity to meet up with a couple of our co-workers. We met... Continue Reading →
The Philadelphia area has so much to offer families and having our Discovery Centre membership really helps a lot. We decided to head to Delaware to see their Natural History Museum. We really enjoyed it. They had a section on New Zealand and Australia that we had never seen before anywhere else. They also had... Continue Reading →
That really is the first thing I think of when I think of Philadelphia! I was definitely a Fresh Prince fan! 🙂 Our initial plan before I became an Automattician was that we were going to be going back home after the NKOTB concert the next day and then start our drive again the following...
