Live Long and Prosper

Well for those of you who own a tricorder or simply remember the man they call Spock, this last weekend brought an exciting day in our geeky life's.  We made the short 1 hour drive north to be part of Leonard Nimoy's homecoming in Vulcan, Alberta.  I've always known that Southern Alberta was the motherland, and now Spock has confirmed it!  I mean really.... how can you argue with a Vulcan?  They're always right!  While the...

The Long Haul

While this picture may not look like much, it represents the last bit of basements reno's. It's the small things that seem to take forever and for the longest time I had trim in the bathroom and the door on the electrical panel left to finish. A few weeks ago I finished the trim and over Easter I got the doors up. From blog I'd just like to note the star wars bed sheet on our futon. Your all still welcome to come stay in our toy room, I mean...

I do my own stunts

A few weeks ago, Logan decided to take us to the emergency room. Yup, our first trip with the boy. Actually, I should be happy considering he's three and a half. I think my poor mom had all three of us boys in emergency before we were one! Logan did a swan dive onto the pointy part of Nana's rocking chair and ended up with a swollen eye and a bent nose. Luckily the nose was just pushed over due to swelling and there was nothing broken. Here...

Snow Day

Oh those glorious words.  They hold a special place in my heart.  Perhaps because I'm a teacher, perhaps because I hear them less often (no global warming eh?).  Regardless of the reason behind the magic, I was blessed with those words this morning.  One crazy night of snow changed the dry spring landscape of LOMAH back into a winter wonderland.  Schools were closed, streets were chaotic and my bed was warm and inviting! ...

Iron Chef Dora

Dora has been cooking up a storm as of late, taking advantage of all her free time as a stay at home mom right now (she knows I'm joking I hope)! A favorite veggie of ours, including Logan, is asparagus. I'm not sure of the recipe and kinda hope Dora will update this posting with it, but regardless, here are a few pics. If I remember correctly, it was fast, easy and quite yummy!(*I stole the recipe from vegan yum yum site. It's called chili almond...

Head East

Well, while dad was out west for his "man-date" with Merc, the boys and I headed out east with Nana & Papa for some time with my grandma. The 5 hour drive (includes break for lunch) went so well. We hit Evan's nap perfectly. For those of you that travel with little ones, you will appreciate how awesome that is. The drive back was a little rougher. But Papa did get the chance to show Logan how to pee on an old barn. Darn cool. It was pretty...

Easter Break Pt. 1

As a teacher, I have the luxury of a week off over Easter.  This year was no exception and my head was filled with plans upon plans.  Oddly, things did not turn out as expected. As you can tell from my earlier postings, I started my week in Victoria with the plans of a "boys weekend" and was welcomed to the city by a new baby girl.  It was quite the experience to see a man become a dad and this was the first time I witnessed it someone...

As I was flying out to Victoria Saturday morning, the Mercier's were enjoying..... well perhaps that wording is poor.  were appreciating the joys of parenthood.  Around a baby girls joined the LOMAH family, coming in at 6lbs, 15oz.  I truly have never seen Mike as happy as he was when he introduced his daughter to us.  I'm lacking the cables right now to post a picture, but as soon as i track one down, I'll do so. Feel free to give Mike, Courtenay and Imogen your lo...
