At the airport. Whenever I see family travelling together, I try to talk to the children and this is the answer I get 99% of the time.
ME: "Hi sweetie. Where are you going?"
KID: "Disneyland."
ME: "Oh, can I come with you? I love Mickey."
KID: [shaking head] "No."
Almost, Always

Our funny weather
Yesterday, we had a blizzard...
at 8:30am this is what our streets looks like...
Trees were covered with snow
Ooops... where are you going?
[This is a right turn lane.]
Morning traffic on a day like this is common...
and I was late... and so did almost everybody else!
Car breakdown causes traffic jam. This is around 9am...
Where did all the snow go???
Above photo taken at approx 2:30pm [on the same day]...
And then... it started snowing again at approx 4pm...
And when I came home... I saw this...
the wonderful work of art of my kids!!!
Our front yard is the only one that looked like this.
And that's a typical Calgary weather!

Pictures were taken using my new DSLR.

My new toy!
I've been wanting to buy a DSLR for the longest time... and I finally bought it 2 days ago. For an additional 25% off the regular price, I decided to buy an open box but with the same warranty as a close box. Open box simply means that somebody already bought it and return it. And since it has the same warranty as a new one, there really is no harm in buying an open box. Anyway, I have 14 days to try it...
