Cutting up some old drawings and splashing around some cool summer colours.

Fly High Butterfly

Butterfly Chalk Drawing

Two of many reasons I fell in love:

· Her humour & imagination.

· Her incredible drawings.

She’s a wonderful mother … Our daughter is so lucky.

Kooky drawing for Jade … always fun making her smile.

The Jellyfish Garden Party

I drew the green seaweed and the top blue line.

Jade created the rest of the drawing.

Those pink jellyfish really love to party.

Dog Days Of Summer

Dog Days Of Summer

Lately, we’ve been dog-sitting our neighbour’s amazing black lab.

The dog’s name is Gunnar and he’s eight years old.

He has the perfect temperament for children.

Gunnar doesn’t jump up on people and he doesn’t lick faces either.

He’s the perfect friend for Jade.

She absolutely adores him.

Love Perseveres

Love Perseveres

There’ll always be darkness in life.

Always believe, trust in each other … And have patience.

Love will persevere and find a way.

Jade’s Hotel Transylvania Birthday Party

Hotel Transylvania / 1

Happy Boo-Day !!!

My daughter Jade absolutely adores the animated movie Hotel Transylvania.

It made a super fun theme for her 4th birthday party.

Enclosed are a few memorable pics from the day.

Hotel Transylvania / 2

Group Mural

The party craft was a giant 8 foot wide poster.

Each kid drew a monster and decorated their own bat.

Even some parents joined in the fun.

In the end, the mural was like a HUGE card for Jade.

Hotel Transylvania / 3

Group Photo

Everybody smile !!!

Jade and her happy friends with their finished product.

Hotel Transylvania / 4

Pin the Head on Frankenstein

Jade was the 2nd closest.

The game was a “monstrous” hit with all the kids !!

Hotel Transylvania / 5

Birthday Cup Cakes !!!

Of course, no party is complete without some sugary goodness.

Jade had a great time but was COMPLETELY exhausted by the end.

She went to bed at 4:30 that afternoon … And didn’t wake up until 5:oo the next morning !!

Generational Journey with Bert & Ernie

Bert and Ernie / Retro Toy

Bert and Ernie / Drawing

Jade really enjoys the chemistry between Bert and Ernie.

Growing up, my wife was also a big fan and still loves drawing them.

It’s really cool when both parents and kids can compare and create their own fun memories.

For example, my wife still has her Sesame Street building from her childhood (photo above).

Jade loves playing with it just as much as we do (haha).

Eat Your Salad !

Eat Your Salad !

Thankfully, Jade likes salad … but only with italian dressing.
