I headed out tonight for a Night Sky Photography Field Trip with the Camera Club of Hilton Head, led by Zach Grether. It was one of the colder nights of our stay here in Hilton Head, so we didn’t stay out too long, but there was a clear sky and a large group of participants.

There were some amazing photos taken of the northern lights which were visible in Nova Scotia, these are not two of them (you can see some at this link though).

Our Kline Street Kin offered to let Brittany and I use their cottage this past weekend. Needless to say we jumped at the chance. It was the first time they boys have spent any real time in the woods (at least where they were old enough to enjoy it), and it was also the first […]

Here are some more photos taken as we stopped in at Versailles after renting a car and hitting the open road. We were on our way to Rouen, where we didn’t have a hotel booked, in advance. We ended up staying in a reasonable hotel that happened to be right outside where we parked our […]

This is the first of a series of photo posts from our trip to Iceland, Paris, Rouen, Bruges, Amsterdam and Delft. This entire trip came about as a day dream of heading off on a trip without the boys. As I write this, having arriving back in Halifax, the boys are causing absolute chaos in […]

Brittany once again put together a wonderful Birthday party. This year the was face painting, carnival themed food (popcorn, cotton candy, hot dogs) balloons and pony rides. It was a beautiful sunny day and the grandparents had the boys the night before so Brittany and I could get everything setup the night before and that […]

Gabriel had his 3rd birthday party today with family and friends. The day was tremendously successful, with Brittany planning a really fun event, with a homemade cake, cupcakes and turtle chocolates, and treat bags for the little ones. Ray’s Reptiles provided the entertainment and education for the day, which was fun for both the adult […]

Just or shopping with the little guys. These cats really do make it much more enjoyable for them.
