After bringing the girl for her specialist medical appointment in the morning, we decided to take a detour to Everton Road to check out the new street arts … [Read more...]

Every family wins at the Cold Storage Kids Run 2015
Dear Dana, Congratulations Darling! You’ve completed your first solo run. It was 800m and you ran with all your might. You told Mommy and I later that you “didn’t stop running” and when you were tired, you “ jogged and bounced”...Haha, things that Daddy taught you during those sessions we had in the gym and eventually at the running tracks nearby. We are very proud of you. For the record, we didn’t know which position you came in. Because it simply didn’t matter. What was important was you … [Read more...]
