F's parents held the party at the kiddie part of Altitude Gym called Clip 'n' Climb. It was brilliant. There's kids. There's climbing walls galore. There's these automatic belay things that let you down.]]> http://cmkl.ca/2012/02/04/clip-n-climb/feed/ 0 http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/27/mallory-was-out-partying-tonight/ http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/27/mallory-was-out-partying-tonight/#comments Sat, 28 Jan 2012 04:24:34 +0000 cmkl http://cmkl.ca/?p=2245 http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/27/mallory-was-out-partying-tonight/feed/ 0 http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/12/mallory-and-her-friend-c-built-a-snow-fort-tonight/ http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/12/mallory-and-her-friend-c-built-a-snow-fort-tonight/#comments Fri, 13 Jan 2012 02:25:11 +0000 cmkl http://cmkl.ca/?p=2191 http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/12/mallory-and-her-friend-c-built-a-snow-fort-tonight/feed/ 2 http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/08/fun-in-the-snow/ http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/08/fun-in-the-snow/#comments Sun, 08 Jan 2012 23:41:22 +0000 cmkl http://cmkl.ca/?p=2180 http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/08/fun-in-the-snow/feed/ 0 http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/07/birthday-party-at-midway/ http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/07/birthday-party-at-midway/#comments Sun, 08 Jan 2012 02:57:37 +0000 cmkl http://cmkl.ca/?p=2175 Mallory had her official birthday party this morning at Midway, one of 22 parties the indoor amusement palace was hosting today. Pancakes, cake, bumper cars, jungle gyms, friends and presents. Morning was actually a pretty good time to host a party there, I thought. There weren't a lot of other people there. ]]> http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/07/birthday-party-at-midway/feed/ 0 http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/05/recidivism/ http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/05/recidivism/#comments Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:01:03 +0000 cmkl http://cmkl.ca/?p=2169 http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/05/recidivism/feed/ 0 http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/03/mallory-loses-her-first-tooth/ http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/03/mallory-loses-her-first-tooth/#comments Wed, 04 Jan 2012 03:48:46 +0000 cmkl http://cmkl.ca/?p=2160 I know the last few days have been a string of Mallory pictures and that's going to get a bit tedious for those readers of mine who are not Mallory's parents. For that I apologize. So for the sake of variety I'm offering up a different perspective on Irene's and my lovely child. Just a part. Namely her first baby tooth, which fell out today.]]> http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/03/mallory-loses-her-first-tooth/feed/ 0 http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/02/two-hours-and-ten-minutes-from-now/ http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/02/two-hours-and-ten-minutes-from-now/#comments Tue, 03 Jan 2012 01:23:28 +0000 cmkl http://cmkl.ca/?p=2155 Mallory will be officially six years old. On this day, at 10:23pm January 2nd, 2006, our daughter was born. What a wonderful journey it has been. I speak for only for me - but I'm sure Irene has similar words - when I say that it's the best decision I've ever made. That day was the happiest of my life up to that point.]]> http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/02/two-hours-and-ten-minutes-from-now/feed/ 0 http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/01/mallory-as-polar-bear/ http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/01/mallory-as-polar-bear/#comments Mon, 02 Jan 2012 03:21:51 +0000 cmkl http://cmkl.ca/?p=2137 So. Birthday party one, complete. In actual fact it was more like a New Years Levée family gathering than a full-on birthday party. Inviting J, one of Mallory's friends was a master stroke on Irene's part though. Allowed the hosting of a dozen or so other people to go on unimpeded by 'Mommy I'm bored', 'Daddy I want some cake' requests.]]> http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/01/mallory-as-polar-bear/feed/ 0 http://cmkl.ca/2011/12/31/a-big-box-tobogganing-and-happy-birthday-irene/ http://cmkl.ca/2011/12/31/a-big-box-tobogganing-and-happy-birthday-irene/#comments Sun, 01 Jan 2012 01:38:24 +0000 cmkl http://cmkl.ca/?p=2133 Most of the world knows today as "New Year's Eve" but to our family it's Irene's Birthday. Our family began by another round of presents, for Irene this time. Mallory decided to give herself as a present, so Mallory and I were up early, installing her in a box, taping it shut and wrapping it up.]]> http://cmkl.ca/2011/12/31/a-big-box-tobogganing-and-happy-birthday-irene/feed/ 2
