I am really enjoying my new Ikelite Housing for my Canon SD1400 IS camera!

While I picked it up mainly as an affordable method for taking underwater still and video while I am SCUBA diving, this housing has also come in handy for me in the pool!

Pat was an employee of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and later a homemaker. In her spare time, Pat enjoyed bowling, and sharing a good laugh or trading witty and sarcastic comments with her friends and family.

Pat is survived by her son, Chris (Nadine Mullin) London of Saint John and daughter J. Ashley (Randy) MacNeill of Grove Hill. She is beloved Nanny to grandchildren Justin Dalling (Ashley Rioux) and Aidan and Natalie London. Survived by 2 brothers, Allan (Carolyn) Kerr and Douglas (Diane) Kerr and sister Margaret (Peggy) (Robert) Odell, she will also be fondly remembered by numerous nieces and nephews, as well as her special friend Stacey Lobbezoo, and her companion Mugz the dog.

Aidan rubbing elbows with Senators (political ones!)

Posted on August 22, 2009 by

During our summer vacation to Ontario, we visited Parliament Hill in Ottawa, to see where all the decisions are made and the politicians act like schoolchildren.

Aidan was playing around and taking pictures with his camera, when this guy came and started talking to him. He gave me his card and told Aidan if he came back in the Fall when government was sitting, he would take him to lunch in the Parliamentary restaurant!

I didn’t recognize him, but after I read his card, I found out he was Senator Rod Zimmer, from Manitoba. Of course, because he was so nice to Aidan, I knew he couldn’t be a Conservative and HAD to be a Liberal! Sorry, couldn’t resist! ;-)

Theory of Relativity according to a 6 Year Old

Posted on June 18, 2009 by

Leaving McDonald’s with his new (and overpriced) ‘Night at the Museum‘ Albert Einstein bobblehead toy, Aidan starts reading the information sheet that comes with it:

Aidan: “In the movie, the Einstein bobblehead helps Larry unlock the mystery of the tablet. The real Albert Einstein was born in Germany and is best known for his Theory of Relativity”

(yes, he is just finishing Kindergarten, and the only word on that info sheet he had trouble with was ‘relativity‘…)


Mommy: “Very Good! Did you know that Albert Einstein was one of the smartest people who ever lived?”


Aidan: (without missing a beat…) “Is that why they make toys that look like him?”

The way the mind of a kid works is just hilarious!
