Thank you Craigslist for finding us a rain cover for our Mountain Buggy stroller! Now it can rain all fall and winter because we have a cover for the stroller. Forget about Crocodile Baby and their bitchy “customer service”, Craigslist rocks!

Family day in Kitsilano
Saturday was set up to be our family day. A day when my two princesses and my partner could spend together doing joyful family stuff. The initial plan was to travel to Kitsilano and walk along the promenade using the stroller we have recently acquired. Of course seeing as it was forecast to be a […]
A birthday of sorts
To an individual who has not yet experienced a pregnancy or had the joy of children living with them from birth, a pregnancy is nine months long. Maybe some will say nine months and a week. However, once you have travelled the road of pregnancy, all that changes. You see, pregnancy is not measured in months […]
A new stroller for the twins
Today we went out and bought a stroller for our twin girls. We already have a McLaren umbrella-style stroller that we have been using on and off during the summer months.

Usually dog is in tow to let her out of the house to […]
The twins first Thanksgiving dinner
It is inspiring to see what a father can do while holding a baby in one hand. I am often at the keyboard with a baby perched on my knee watching as I tap-tap-tap on the keyboard. They are so inquisitive of all that surrounds them. This evening I ate my Thanksgiving dinner with a baby […]
Coffee at the village
This morning Annalie and I went down to the Village for an early Thanksgiving coffee. It is neat to see so many other fathers out with their little ones. There was one father who came in with a baby even smaller and then my twin dolls. I like this. Yesterday I saw many fathers walking […]
