Adam and my Dad had to get up at the crack of dawn, actually earlier to catch a charter to Nunavut for the first gold pour at the mine site there, so we were down to me, the girls, my mom and Andrew. I woke up with a pounding headache, probably exhaustion. My mom and [...]

Happy Birthday Dad! Kind of a quiet day, pouring rain today. We had late lunch/early dinner reservations because my parents and Andrew are going to the Canada/Slovakia game, so we didn’t have a whole lot of time to do much before we had to mobilize. My mom and I heard of shop in Kitsilano called [...]

We finally made it to the German Saxony House today. We’ve been staring at it since we arrived over 2 weeks ago. At night the place lights up and is hilarious to look at all it’s disco lights lighting up the harbour. Mia woke up tired, so by the time we had lunch, she had [...]

Ok, so all hockey fans across the country had butterflies in their stomach all day wondering what was in store for Team Canada vs. the Russians. My dad found tickets somehow for the game, he mentioned something about having to trade Audrey for the seats. He also organized babysitting so that I could go to [...]

It was billed as “Super Sunday”… more like “Sucky Sunday”. Max left today, he stalled like crazy and just made his flight. I don’t blame him, the weather has been absolutely stunning. The flowers are out on the trees, the tulips are coming out and my mom’s allergies are kicking in. Andrew’s friends from Seattle came up to [...]

Another day and other breakfast at White Spot. Pretty chill day since I was heading to see Men’s Curling Canada vs. Great Britain that evening. After breakfast Max, the girls and I decided to walk through Stanley Park. I was going to take some pictures and I took off my lens cap and discovered my [...]

The days are starting to blur together and I’ve completely lost track of what day of the week it is. I’m trying to remember what I did 24 hours ago and I’m drawing a blank. I wish I could blame copious amount of alcohol for short term memory loss but I can’t… maybe it’s sleep [...]
