- Way, way too many skinny, pale, almost-vaguely-ethnic, blonde chicks up in my fashion editorials right now. Diversity, PLEASE.
The Olympic Flame
Published December 23, 2009 | 
Recently, the Olympic torch passed through our town on its way to Vancouver. I had to work (SIGH) but Chris and Maia got bundled up and went out to watch it arrive together.
As you can see, Maia ended up wearing my mittens because, well, she didn’t have her own pair. I’ve since remedied that, but I’m not sure she could have looked any cuter even if she were wearing kid-sized ones!
It turns out that Chris and Maia stood at an intersection where the flame would be passed from one torch bearer to another.
Maia also ended up getting a souvenir: a “Torch Relay” edition bottle of Coca-Cola, put into her hands specifically by a lady who was passing out the bottles.
Chris took a few videos, and I look forward to showing them to Maia sometime in the future, maybe for a show & tell day at school or something. I dunno. I’m just glad that they got to go and see the torch pass through our city!
Our Father’s Day
Published June 23, 2009 | We live close to Lake Ontario, and our city was holding a festival last weekend down on the boardwalk, so we went to check it out on Father’s Day. This means Maia got to see her first concert!
Hey, do you think these two MIGHT be related? I dunno, can you see a resemblance? I’m not sure I can….
