On Wednesday, October 9 at 5:57 p.m., a mere 132 minutes after his parents decide they should maybe head for the hospital because maybe those aren't random cramps, out pops... BOY!

Heroic mom and baby are now home with dad and Emmett, and all are settling in to their new lives as a StranMcCann foursome.

Interesting footnote:  With humble apologies to half a million Rogers wireless customers across Canada, apparently high-speed baby deliveries like this generate sufficient electrostatic charge to do this:

Due date

On the younger sibling's scheduled arrival day, Emmett's dad can't help but appreciate the double entendre that is Emmett's shirt.


13:52 MT. No baby yet.

Still pregnant

40 weeks exactly, and Folj'r has made no move to evacuate.

But he/she is quite clear on where the vote should go in the municipal election.

Canadian Tire to the Rescue

One week after the Home Depot debacle, Emmett successfully sources out a race car cart at Canadian Tire, terrorizes the store, and very nearly bounces a self-decapitating Halloween witch off his windshield.

Home Sweet Home Depot

When you promise your kid a ride in the race car shopping cart, but it's not available, an alternate plan becomes critical.

Impromptu shower in the 'magic booth' pretty much does the trick.

New school yeti

Mere days after Emmett's epic bike crash at Glenbow Ranch...


Emmett's dad stumbles on a discarded pair of 80's-era Atomics and outfits the kid for a whole winter's worth of hurt.

Oral hygiene

When your kid claims to be brushing his teeth, he may not actually be brushing his teeth.
