It’s pretty handy having another reader in the house! While she still loves to be read to and isn’t taking over bedtime stories anytime soon, her brothers love listening to extra stories, and I love seeing her get excited about this new ability. Theo finds Pinkalicious totally relaxing, while Kristopher is a bit more stand-offish. He’s […]
Monday Moments
Sometimes I just feel like a parenting rockstar. Not often, mind you, so I have to enjoy the moments I do, and remember them on those days when I just can’t handle one more request for a different coloured cup or work up the energy to say yes to pulling out the play dough. With number 4 getting […]
Monday Moments: Daddy’s Boy
We recently switched Carl’s office and our playroom around, and Theo seems to think the swap was designed solely for his joy. Not only does he love puttering around the new, bigger playroom where he’s free to throw balls with abandon, he also has his daddy only a few steps away from the living room. […]
May Madness
Forget March, May is where the madness happens. We’ve been busy, but in a fantastic way, between celebrating a brand new 6-year-old, enjoying Mother’s Day, and taking a couple nights away to celebrate our anniversary. Somewhere in there I started a new semester of school, so this week will be spent wrapping my head around […]
8 Years & Counting
Tomorrow I have been married to this (exceedingly handsome) man for 8 whole years. He loves it when I take pictures of him when he’s trying to relax on the deck ;) But what’s a post without pictures? And he certainly needs a post, a day early because I’m going offline for a couple days […]
Monday Moments: Theo
Theo has reached such a fun age, the age where he has stopped tempting death by hunting down marbles and Lego to put in his mouth, and turned instead to new, more mature endeavours. I feel like he figures out something new every day – unfortunately it isn’t things like new words, how to eat […]
Oooooh, Baby!
We’re hoooome, napped, unpacked, and I have some theeeengs to talk to you about today! All of which require exclamation points! Brace yourselves. First, on Monday the blog is goin’ dowwwwn. Not permanently, but for a few days while my designer and I polish, perfect, enhance, and generally make this a more beautiful, more user-friendly […]
Monday Moments
Where did last Monday go? Just goes to show that when you’re on semi-permanent “holiday” you really have no idea what day it is, ever. But we’re back! Between Theo’s sick days we managed to enjoy some of the sights in Ottawa and Toronto, not realizing he was kinda faking it and was only actually […]
Monday Moments
We went to Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo with friends this past week, and it was a big hit. Theo thought everything was great from the vantage point of his stroller. Kristopher thought everything was great the closer it got. And Gemma…dang it, she took my spot. She warmed up eventually – she won’t touch the […]
Monday Moments
People have been telling me since his birth that Theo looks just like my Dad. These looks apparently run strong in our family, as I was also told he could have been one of my sister’s kids (I promise he’s not). Now that I see them side-by-side daily, I have to agree. I’m not sure […]
