Last Saturday was officially the 1st daddy daughter day! Sonia was off on a well-deserved personal day so I had the honour of sharing my day with Olivia: from 8:30 to 5:30! What’s the #1 thing I needed to be sure of? Consistency. Sonia has educated me (as well as “The Baby Whisperer”) that babies… Read More »
On Saturday, it was Sonia’s birthday! In keeping with a growing tradition, we got a group together and went skiing. This time at Horseshoe Valley. Thanks to Sean, Susan, Dan, Lisa, Tina & Jay for making the trek up to Carriage Hills to share in a perfect day of skiing and good times. Thanks to Tina… Read More »

I fell into the trap.  Sonia and I were discussing the fact that our evening life seems to fall into a very scary routine: I come home from work and entertain/nurture the baby counting the hrs until she goes to sleep. If you can’t tell from the verbage, this has brought about a very negative… Read More »
Olivia is cutting her top teeth. Altough it is most certainly a big milestone, it is not one that will be fondly remembered.
During the SloPitch tourney, a group of us went to the RoundHouse for a tour of the Steam Whistle Brewery. This is a local Toronto beer that is brewed in the strictest pilsner fashion. It has a very strong and bitter flavour that you’re going to either love or hate. Either way, it must be… Read More »
