You know it has been a rough night when sometime late in the afternoon I emerge from the house clad in baggy pyjama pants with stained white undershirt partially on, completely unshaven, crazed look in my eyes as I clutch an empty baby bottle. 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 […]
Sunday morning breakfast
Went to my usual Sunday morning breakfast with a baby. Today was Story’s turn to get out for one-to-one time with her Papa. She was a little cranky being out today probably because her mother wrapped her in so many layers of clothing she could barely move Lord help us when it actually gets cold […]
Diapers
Probably the single most important product we use are diapers. Holy crap do we use a lot of diapers. I get quite excited when I go to Costco and see there is a coupon for diapers. Ahhh…the small pleasures we get from life now.
Establishing a Baseline
On April 17th 2009 my life changed forever; my partner and I gave birth to twin baby girls. Well, it was more her than me who gave birth, but everyone talks like it was a team effort. I will accept some credit for their birth but my goodness, my contribution was a lot more pleasurable than […]
I told the kids they can gave whatever they want for dinner.
Do we had air fryer Oreos. And you know, sometimes kids make good choices!
Air fryer Oreos are like a trip down memory lane to when I was eating beignets in New Orleans.

Cool capture by my @stealthcamgsm. Momma bear and two cubs. Can you see the second cub? It’s kind of hiding.

Cabin cooking this weekend. Slices of brisket off the @traegergrills sitting on a bed of caramelized onions.
Sides of oven roasted fennel bulb and broccoli. My favourite way to eat - slow cooked food in the @fieldcompany cast iron pan.

Traveled the Fraser Canyon as a passenger this weekend so I was able to enjoy a flight of beers @mtnviewbrewing in Hope! Usually I’m the driver so this was a welcome change.
Along with my flight of beers I had the roasted chicken and kale wrap. Can you say “massive wrap”? Wow. What a feast. And it is loaded with kale so it was a healthy feast.

Went for a little walk and ended up @doughnutlove.ca Oops. Still got some exercise, right?
And the Easter bunny was here and left a few eggs on an old fashioned doughnut for me!
Add in my once a week treat of an oat milk latte and I’m a happy man.

Received my new @gothamwatches in the mail. I’m loving it. My kid asked if the accompanying monocle is coming in a separate package. Kids!
Feels cool to have this new watch in my pocket. Substantial feel to the watch without it being too heavy.

Sign at the pool says “no outside shoes beyond this point”.
95% of people at the pool this morning read it as saying “Look furtively around and then proceed on tiptoe in your boots as your boots drop clumps of mud on the pool deck where little children are walking barefoot.”
