May 20-22, 2016 After a 1 year hiatus, the International Cessna 195 Club’s Caravan returned for its 2016 edition with the destination being Asheville, North Carolina. The choice of Asheville was a bit selfish as it had been on our “Fly To” list for a few years. The big draw for us was to see […]
We survived the 2016 tax season!
I have now officially made it through 10 tax seasons! This year would have been 11 tax seasons since becoming a tax professional, but last year I skipped out in favour of Hudson, who arrived at the end of February. When I returned to work at the end of November I was already thinking about […]
All-inclusive was the way to go!
Time sure seems to have picked up speed since Hudson’s arrival last February. It has already been a month since we arrived home from our one week getaway in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! We went from December 29th to January 5th. This was our last longer distance trip before Hudson turns one. It was a […]

Florida in April!
While I was pregnant I had made up my mind that we would do whatever we could to go somewhere in April. Being a tax accountant, my maternity leave would be the only chance in my career to get away at tax time. So we settled on Florida. Sun ’N Fun was on our list […]
“Breast might be Best”, when it works…
When I was pregnant I was certain that I would breastfeed our baby for at least 9 months, which is when I was going to return to work. Breastfeeding was good for Baby, good for Mama, free, “portable” for all the travelling we planned to do, etc… I read Ina May’s Guide to Breastfeeding to […]
Welcome Hudson
On a cold winters night they placed a miracle in our arms. Three days late, 13 hours after being admitted to the hospital and he was perfect. We named him Hudson. We are now a family of 3.
Ready to become a “flight of 3”
Our Blog has only logged our adventures since it was created in August 2013, but Kurtis and I have certainly been “Madly off in all Directions” for pretty much our whole marriage. As Kurtis and I got closer and closer to meeting our little “Pumpkin”, we spent some time reflecting on how much fun we have had […]
2014 – A Year in Review
I went back in our Blog to my summary of our activities in 2013 and it was fun to read all that we had been up to. So I decided I would put together another quick recap of our year’s activities in 2014. As you will see we didn’t really manage to slow down like […]
Bahamas, etc.
December 1 – December 19, 2014 On December 1st, I blasted off for Texas in our 195 with my friend Brad Hieronimus. Later that week, after a few adventures, he flew home in a pressurized aluminum tube from Memphis. In the evening on Friday, December 5, I picked up my wife Christina in Miami.
