Tinks at the ROM
This weekend, we took the Tinks to the Royal Ontario Museum so they could see dinosaurs – ‘scuse me, DINOSAURS! – for the first time. Liam quickly found one and posed happily We’d rented a wheelchair for Mormor (Danish for Grandma) so she could enjoy the day instead of walking miles. I think the kids…
Christmas Shenanigans
Coming up for air after a weekend of immersion in the Christmas spirit is an oddly disconcerting experience. It’s back to work and I’d much rather stay within the warmth and joy of what in Danish is called Julehygge. In other words, hygge specific to Jul (Christmas). It’s a good place to be. The Boy…

The Tinks Meet Lucy

Anything Can Be A Toy
After mor’s party last Sunday, Morgan and I played a game. She was a fire fighter, I was (no surprise) the firetruck and the balloon served as the hose. I don’t know which one I like best. This one, for the look on Morgan’s faceOr this one, for the sense of sheer abandon (Photos by…
