If someone ever asks you what spring time in Vancouver is like, point them here.
This is 11pm, 18 April 2008. Note: APRIL.
Current temperature: 0.3 °C. Snow falling at about 5 cm/hour. Flurries forecast for the rest of the weekend, including the Sun Run, a 10 km charity ‘run’ involving over 57,000 people on Sunday.
(Most of these were taken with 8 to 13 second exposures, so you can’t see the snow actually falling until the last shot…)
I have only one question. What the hell?
With child #2 on the way, I’ve started paying attention to blogs about gear again. However, a stroller starting at 2 grand isn’t really in the cards. I have to say that if not for the price, they’d be the type of stroller that I could see Gwen’s brother Steve pushing, though.

As a testimony to how cold and dark this spring has been, or to how little attention we give it, our Christmas Cactus is starting to bloom again. Maybe a little bit of both.

According to The Boy, he is 3 years old (finally got it into his head!), Daddy is 34 (thanks Mommy, for getting him to remember that one), and Mommy is 2 1/2. Mommy doesn’t mind in the least.
This is partly how I spent my birthday…
… and it was great.
