Dear Daddy, we are here today to tell you… Why you are the best Dad ever: You tell us that you love us Even when we’re bad, You take the time to talk to us And find out why we’re sad. You laugh at every trick we have And teach us new ones too; […]
A new addition
Well, our family grew by one more yesterday! One more piggy, that is. Gemma got a stuffed piggy as a gift when she was a newborn and latched onto it almost immediately, and along with that came a serious love for all pigs, whether alive, statuesque or stuffed. This guy was the highlight of […]
The sweetest thing
Our little guy doesn’t need/want nearly as much sleep as his big sister did, which took a little getting used to. As much as we love his high energy, spastic awakeness, there is still nothing sweeter to me than a sleeping baby. He’s just started sleeping on his side/stomach, since he usually falls asleep mid-roll […]
Curious Gemma
Lately Gemma has been a rotating cast of characters from TV shows and movies she watches and I am constantly reminded just how impressionable her little mind is. Usually it is funny and cute as she imitates a variety of people and talking animals, and I am a complementary character decided by her, but yesterday […]
Sometimes I love being a forgetful procrastinator
For the most part being forgetful is frustrating and potentially awkward. Some such times: -when writing an exam -when telling people your children’s names -when at the grocery store trying to remember ingredients necessary for dinner […]
I wish it was market day
Sunny spring mornings like this, when Carl doesn’t have to work till the afternoon and everyone is well-rested, make me miss Ottawa. A morning like this would almost certainly mean making the 10-minute jaunt to downtown to enjoy a beautiful 20 minute walk along the canal to Byward Market where we could enjoy the […]
Hide & Seek
Can you tell what’s what? Apparently my taste in home decor is not so different from my taste in clothing. Combined with my leather pants, I play a mean game of hide and seek – no one ever thinks to look on the couch.
Five years
After meeting in Grade 8 and having a slightly bumpy almost four years of dating over a 6 year span from Grade 11 onwards, my high school sweetheart finally popped the question in January 2006 and in May 2006 we tied the knot! Five years ago I barely whispered (thanks to a combination of stage fright […]
Happy Birthday Gemma!
Today was my sweet little girl’s 3rd birthday!! I can hardly believe it, especially since those terrible twos have yet to really hit. Looking back, God sure knew what he was doing when he gave me this little girl. A self-proclaimed non-fan of kids, Carl knew when he married me that kids weren’t too high […]
Why they invented Mother’s Day
Last night’s schedule, which is very similar to the night’s schedule for the past 8 months or so, for those of you who are interested and wondering if mother’s really do deserve a day of their very own: 11:00pm – Go to bed. 1:00am – Feed Kristopher. 1:45am – Get up to find Gemma’s lost […]
