Our Little Valentine
We had a lot of fun last week, delving into a bit of Valentine’s bliss. On Wednesday, Mama and Alexander made cookie dough and punched out a few dozen little heart cookies. He’s always excited to get out the rolling pin and make the punches- the trickiest part, getting him Continue Reading
We Are American… Therefore We Watch…
“Woah Pizza!” | “You know, Papa- that call should have definitely been out!” | Into the game It’s a once a year event- the fact that we sit down in front of the TV and watch… football. Yes, for one day, even Serena embraces her Americanism and subjects herself to Continue Reading
Thanksgiving Times Two
This year we got to celebrate quite officially two Thanksgivings. Thursday, David and Alexander spent the morning (while sick-mama took some quiet time) helping Nana tuck in the yard with raking and weed pulling. And we all headed out to a (heaven-forbid) restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, we are slightly Continue Reading
Mummy’s Day Take Two
It was our second Mother’s day together and a quiet one for our family. The rain snuffed out our flower shopping plans but instead we took Alexander to an indoor playplace called Urban Toddler. He had a good time exploring the place but it was just a bit too old Continue Reading
“First” Easter

Thank You, Grandma!
From time to time, Grandma Winkler comes down from Saginaw on her day off and gets to spend some time with her little grandson and give Nana Johnson an extra day off. They’re good days for all of us, and we’re happy Alexander gets so much love and care. This Continue Reading
A Quiet Fourth
So far, summer has been off to a wonderful start with some busy weekends, and quiet days too. Our fourth was one of those pretty quiet days this year, as we figured that little Alexander wouldn’t be up for too many loud fireworks. We enjoyed having the three of us Continue Reading
This First Father’s Day
For Alexander’s First Father’s Day Grandma, Grandpa and Nana came over for some classic baby oogling and manly hot dog/ hamburger grillin’ topped off with cards and fine appreciation for the new papa and grandpa. Grandpa and Alexander looked over his favourite book while David slaved away over the hot Continue Reading
Our First Mothers’ Day
During breakfast, David headed out to “get a newspaper” and shortly thereafter, Alexander and I heard the doorbell ring. Because we were (he was) in the middle of eating we decided our visitor would just have to come back later. Persistent though, he was, and after the third ring, We Continue Reading
