Many years ago Richard started making pies for his family’s thanksgiving dinner. Us adding Quince to our family didn’t slow this tradition down one bit. In fact, it has only been added too. Since he was an infant Quince has aided in the pie making process. From mearly watching while Richard holds him to pushing …
We’ve been home for about 20 days now. The same length of time our trip was for. The battle against time to readjust hasn’t been an easy one. In some aspects we are still fighting it. For one thing, Quince misses Auntie Liz and Uncle Chris a lot. He loved every minute he got to …

While Quince is no stranger to car rides longer than a couple hours, I’m sure in his eyes each one seems like a journey comparable with those written by Tolkien.
Not every kid gets to say their Grandpa lives in another country. Even fewer of them get to say it is also easy to have lunch with him. Well, at least for us non-European folk. 😉 Last week, Quince and I went up to Victoria to have lunch with my dad. We spent a lot …
