Remember that cute little garden we planted with great hopes back in May? Well, we came home from Ontario near the end of June to find it going CA-RAZY! It’s a jungle out there! We may have been a little over-zealous with the planting, yes? :) The kids take the job of watering very seriously, […]

Theo is learning how to play (as if such a thing needs to be learned…I’m thinking “play” is more instinctual than learned, yes?). Technicalities aside, he’s good at it. He can play by himself. He can play with his cousin. He can rock his sister’s sunnies in his “deck-cersaucer”. He can empty the pictures and […]

The holidaying continues at full relaxing tilt o’er here. Temperatures have been soaring, along with suffocating humidity, reminding me why I didn’t love Ontario summers in our little apartment sans air conditioning. I was totally unprepared packing-wise, with barely a tank top or pair of shorts in sight, but we’re doing an acceptable job of […]

My youngest sister is getting married next week and I can’t wait to see her walk down the aisle. In the meantime, we are having all sorts of fun with the family we rarely get to see. We aren’t very good at capturing everything, like the kids sitting beside Babu singing all the songs […]
Fashion Friday: Spring Showers & Flowers
I didn’t even know until today that my sister shares my deep love for the uniquely transcendent, restorative beauty of a rainy day. We may be a week late, but Erin is here. ************************************************ Today it is raining. To most people, this is not a cause for celebration. But in my world, it warrants opening […]

My dreams of a carefree summer on the beach with one reasonably capable swimmer, one stuck on the blanket for fear of getting sand in his shoes, and one sitting in one place surrounded by clean toys are ruined. This little stinker pulled a Gemma on me and learned how to crawl before he can […]

The weather reports have been wackily useless of late, so last weekend we headed out for our annual May trip to the zoo, with promises of sun with possibly sprinkles for a few minutes around noon. Soggy shoes turned out to be the least of our concerns that day. This is the first time Kristopher […]

We have a bit of a dandelion problem, and Grandma and the grandkids certainly aren’t helping the situation. But nobody minds, and really, we have much bigger yard problems. Problems that require “man work”. Carl couldn’t have been more thrilled to discover our friends down the road had a little Bobcat sitting in their backyard […]

Today marks 7 years since I said “I do” to my highschool sweetheart. Look how young we were in the days before digital cameras were mainstream :) We don’t pay much attention to our anniversary in terms of fancy dates or getaways, as I mentioned last year when I last told y’all how great Carl […]

This sweet, joyful, cuddly little guy is 6 months old today! Does half a year really go by so fast? He is fully into the toe-grabbing stage, which is always one of my favourites, although socks are out of the question unless they are clean and non-fluffy enough to qualify as chew toys. He is […]
