The mother of all diaper cakes!

Got an amazing diaper cake from our friends Aggo and Sonia. Seeing as I'm a total nerd and loved Star Trek since I was really little, they got us a Star Trek diaper cake!! Never in a million years would I have guessed there would be such a thing!!!



Simon is set for life now that Spock has he has given him the "Live long and prosper" salute!! (I have a Christmas ornament where Spock says the same thing when you push the button. It's Merry's favourite ornament haha) So HUGE thanks to Aggo and Sonia!!



Now to turn down the nerd factor a bit, I went to Fantasyland with my nieces and had a blast! We went to the Moonwalker playground. Ok ok... they're actually called Galaxyland and the Galaxy Kids Playpark now but 25 years ago they had better names for them. Here is Lauren hiding in the ball pit.



I was trying to follow her everywhere and every 10 seconds I heard, "Uncle Lloyd, hurry up! Uncle Lloyd, you're so slow!!!" I went from feeling good to old in 5 seconds flat. haha



And here is my other niece, Elizabeth (we call her Lizabee) showing expert no-hands ice cream eating technique. Notice the look of concentration from her would-be apprentice seated at the next table... LOL!



And Merry got a photo of Simon and I that I really love... right after his nightly bath. What a funny guy!

Shop talk with Jens

So I got together with Jens (pronounced yentz) for a Shop Talk session. I often get asked if I run workshops or do training sessions. Yes I do... whether it is getting together for coffee to discuss the business of photography, teach photographic techniques, or as far as organizing a real photoshoot with models for hands-on training. Contact me for a quote on what you might be looking for. I've taught from Edmonton to New York; so I do like sharing knowledge. =)

GO CANADA!

Simon is one month old today, and today also kicked off the Olympic games! So he had to show his support:





And thanks to Patricia for the Canada shirt and bear!

Pics from two weeks of age...

Well, I've been getting a bit of flack for not posting enough pictures of Simon. He's getting so big! Three weeks and four days today!

Here are some shots for a little photoshoot we did when he was two weeks old:

Hello, I am Simon. I am asleep.



Here I am asleep, again.



Look ma! I'm FLYING!!



Huh?



Yaaaaawn!!



Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....



YES!!!!



Little fingers!



Tiny toes!



That's all I got for the moment. More to come... stay tuned!

Introducing our new... TOASTER!!!

Yeah I know, a toaster? What can I say? Simple pleasures for simple minds?

But this one is NEAT! We use the toaster a lot so we decided that it should be on our counter 24/7, so we thought we'd get something that matched the style of our house. Our old, 99 year old house that is.

So behold! Our new (but old) 1939 Sunbeam T-9 toaster!



It makes some MEAN toast, and does an especially good job of Merry's gluten free bread, which is difficult to toast.

Why doesn't anyone make appliances with any character anymore? (Aside from the Artisan mixer it shares the counter with, sitting in the background)
