Canadian man killed in bus crash in Argentina

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

I'm a little late in the news, but I found about this late and then I forgot to write about it... Do you remember that bus crash? It was back in March. I heard about it on the radio, but they didn't mention the name of the victim and besides, that ...

So sad!

Our son loves Duplos, those bigger Legos made for toddlers. We have quite the collection already, but Zak loves them too, and with the winter months he has been spending a little bit more time inside trying to entertain our 2-year-old, so he wanted more. Of course, our son is ...

Christmas is fun

Appel à tous

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
