Yesterday we celebrated my niece's second birthday. Her name is Aya.
She was born a month prematurely and had to live in the hospital until she stabilized but when my brother and sister-in-law finally could take her we were all beyond happy and immediately in love.

Spent the weekend with my old man. Never thought I'd be riding Harleys with him, but here we are just before I had to head back to work, burning fingers at a couple hundred foot elevation! Just thought I'd share.
@Trager and I celebrated our first anniversary last week and, he’s away for work so - I’m reliving the romance of our wedding day. Please join me in that.
Also, we had a date night not long before he left.
I had taken a long vacation from the game last year. A lot in my life changed rapidly. I started working a new job, started a new relationship and then started the new journey of being a mom. My greatest accomplishment is how absolutely adorable my son is! He was born a week before my birthday, September 5th of 2019.
Everyone who hasn't already been showered, willingly or not, with pictures of his face, meet Rowan. I am in love, but that face, who could resist!
So last winter I went on a moose hunt with my father. One of the best hunting trips of my life. Got my first moose, worked the dog and just had a brilliant time spent with my father one on one. For my birthday this year he had the antlers done up in secret so I thought I'd share!
Disclaimer: not everyone is alright with hunting. It's an integral part of my heritage and none of this is done for sport. A large portion of the meat goes back to the elders in my First Nations communities.
TLDR; if you're not comfortable with it please just don't open the photos! I'm not out to upset anyone just share a part of my life that was commemorated.
Double post, and only slightly related. Having cats means there are fewer opportunities to paint, because they love walking all over the place. They have both visited the bathtub to clean off paws after stomping across my canvas or the palette.
Today, though, I managed to create a complete abstract painting without paw prints!
I got a new bubble stone for my aquarium. After much fighting with the sand (whoever thought to use SAND in an aquarium, thanks a lot, @Roux ) I got it stuck to the bottom where it's supposed to be. Here is a video, if I can figure out how to upload it.
I'd been debating whether or not I should post this, but there's already a couple of baby pics here, plus I probably owe it to the couple of older players I've recently caught up with.
Meet Zachary, born 1st of May - three weeks old today!
He's also pretty much the reason I've been around as much as I have been recently, taking three weeks off work to help look after the little fella given that parents weren't an option with the whole virus thing making its rounds. Aetolia's helped with maintaining my sanity by giving me something to do that between the brutal feeding schedules of a newborn baby!

Hi.
I don't look too bad for having just gone under the knife, huh?

They get along really well!

No, that's not me you jerks.
So on days off I've been ripping my baby.

Too bad I'm back to work this Monday
To any unsure parents: everyone loves your baby pictures, don't be shy!
