A place to watch Sam grow; for me to share my most special or funny or everyday moments. Sunday, November 3, 2013. A Perfect Night for Ghosts, Ghouls and Minions. I think back to last year trick or treating and how MISERABLE it was. If it wasn't for our determined little batman, we would have just visited the next door neighbours and then went home. This year however was absolutely perfect. The air was still, the temperature was warm and our little family spent an hour touring around the block. Below is ...

A place to watch Sam grow; for me to share my most special or funny or everyday moments. Monday, December 29, 2014. We had a lovely time celebrating the holidays with all of our family.

Along with a huge Christmas feast, a wacky Chinese gift exchange, a gift of giving for the Women's Shelter and a bowling extravaganza w...

Sam got a chance to drive on the water! Santorini. it is defin...
