Bike to work year

As some of you know I ride my bike to work. I have been doing this for over a year now. I really enjoy it and it saves us a ton of money. Here are some of the pearls of wisdom I have learned over the year. First off I will let you know my [...]

Next stop, the rest of your life

Hello again great mass of readers. I know you have been waiting with baited breath for a new post. Anyway I want to talk about how the whole birth of my son went down. It was the most amazing thing to ever experience. Here is the basic timeline and what happened. Oct. 12 @ 10:00 [...]

Nunes/Gough Baby Pool

Nothing like mixing the birth of a new child and gambling!  Hey-oh!  But seriously it is very cool that my cousin and I are expecting child and we have the same due date (or rather she is expecting and my wife is).  Anyway our families put together a baby pool for guessing due dates.  Here [...]

Baby’s Room Transformation

So we are getting pretty close to being ready (as we can be!) for baby.  Part of this process was getting baby’s room together.  We had a room that would work but we weren’t big fans of the colour and the carpet was over 15 years old (and looked that way).  So it was my [...]

Baby Updates Right to Your Phone!

As most of my very dedicated readership knows (readership.  Bah ha!) I am having a baby.  As it is getting close to baby time many people are asking how they can get information about what is going on.  While we will be contacting some people by phone it is just too busy to call everyone.  [...]

Zen and the art of dog training

This is a bit of a two part post;  one about dog ownership and the other about dog training.  First lets talk about the 2 dogs I own.  My wife and I have an 8 year old black lab named Sadie.  She is great at fetching and pants a lot.  She is also great at [...]

Dancing in the moonlight

I am going to be a one man Broadway production pretty soon.  Not only do I sing in a choir but my wife and I also ballroom dance.  Tamara really wanted to branch out from the two dances I am familiar with; the two-step and the seventh-grade shuffle.  We found a course in the Penticton [...]

Smile for the crazy sound wave camera

  Everyone loves baby pictures and now it is my turn to show some off.  Tamara had her first ultra-sound yesterday.  It was a very cool experience.  The photos I have in the article are scans of the photos they printed for us so the quality isn’t great.  Also, it is like trying to shoot [...]

Two pink lines

On February 1st, my wife peed on a little stick and my whole world started to change.  This is the story so far… My wife and I started ‘not trying to prevent getting pregnant’ in November of 2008.  It was a good time to start the process because if she did get pregnant then she [...]

Vacation time

The times they are a changing.  I was without Internet for the last week because we were staying at my Grandfather-in-laws condo in New Westminster.  I thought that I would be able to leach Internet off of someone in the building or from one of the other 4 or 5 buildings near the block.  Not [...]
