She’ll Grow Out of it … I Hope (or Not)!
I’ve mentioned Canmore before. We love it. The scenery. We love it.

The Dangers of Travelling with Mr. MK
Sam and Lizzy participated in the Jasper Junior Olympics this weekend (downhill ski event). Their team won gold in the dual slalom event! Woot. Georgia and I stayed home, for a whole host of reasons: money, logistics, and most of all GEORGIA (ack). As usual, I waited to take my Read more…

-39c and a Bathing Suit
It was -39 with windchill this morning. (This is not a post about the weather. Honest!) I mention it only, because it makes the fact that Georgia wore her swimsuit all day, that much more odd. I shivered every time I looked at her. I wore polar fleece and decided Read more…
