My sweet baby girl is growing up so fast, and I can’t believe she’s starting full time school in only one short week.  I feel like I haven’t had enough time with her this summer, but I think she feels she’s had more than enough time with me – she can’t wait for Grade 1 […]

As of this week I can officially wash my hands of prostitution, having successfully wrapped up a final exam on the subject and heading into the home stretch with only one exam left this week before I can kick back and wait for baby to make his or her appearance.  If only washing my mind […]

I used to think I’d give up on taking everyday pictures by the time the third child came along.  But this one provides plenty of reminders to pull out the camera and his love of saying “cheeeese!” makes it even easier.  With the first two we never worry when they’re quiet, since it usually just […]

This sweet little man, as much as I sometimes fear he’s a bit too attached to his mama (but then, who wouldn’t be ;)), is the world’s best little helper.  At 3 years old, he’s reasonably proficient at everything from vacuuming to sorting and folding laundry to emptying the dishwasher.  He spends his days asking if there’s anything […]

Aaand that’s that! One excited Kindergarten graduate sad to be leaving school for the summer and already looking forward to Grade 1.  Coral certainly seemed to be the colour du jour…maybe they called each other that morning :)

The school year is quickly coming to a close, and part of the end-of-year slacking fun is Sports Day.  The weather couldn’t have been better, and Gemma was so excited, after counting down the days for weeks until the big event.  She takes after her mom – not overly committed and easily distracted from whatever […]
