A few days ago, Madeline and I watched that “In the Womb” dvd I’ve been talking about lately. She was fascinated by the whole thing, and loved watching the pictures of the baby in utero. Then when watched the birth part the next day, she was pretty intrigued — quiet, taking it all in.
Tonight I asked her [...]
Suri’s Cruise’s first solid food poop forever immortalized in bronze.
Only in America!
This weekend we had a night away camping with our good friends Bill and Ang and their 1970s Bonair tent trailor. It was great! We went up to Candle Lake, and the camp site was really quiet. As soon as we got there, we just sat around the fire, almost in silence. Talking every few [...]
Just got back from a little visit to the park around the corner. It would have been longer, if it wasn’t for the 17 month old child I was forced to take along. That 17 month old, of course, being my son. The boy is at a horrible age right now. He’s becoming more and [...]
Last night Marc and I went to see O.E.D. at the E.A. Rawlinson Centre. It is a play co-written by Aaron Jensen about the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary. Aaron was a couple years younger than me in high school. My friends who were a year younger than me got to sing with him [...]
Last night I dreamt that I was in some kind of swanky celebrity clothing shop — the kind where there are actually cool clothes. Jeans that actually make you look skinny. Low on the hip skirts. Funky shirts and dresses. While most of it was out of my price range, I figured I could at [...]
Today we all went to Christopher Lake with Lisa and her kids. We hiked around the ski trail, which is a beautiful trail. Except I think it is the only place in Saskatchewan right now that has mosquitoes. And there were enough of them to drive me bonkers. Then we went down to the beach and [...]
It would seem as though August 17th is a very big day this year again.
This August 17th Johanna starts a new journey of life and goes to Switzerland for a year.
August 17th is also my good friend Ang’s birthday. (Thirty-$*!^@ this year, right?!)
Today we also say “Happy Anniversary” to Randall and Lauralea.
And, on a slightly sadder [...]
I was thinking yesterday while I was doing the dishes, that my labours have been pretty much the same with both kids. Strike that. They have both started and progressed the same. However, once I hit the “transition” phase, they were diametrically opposite: Madeline taking 8 hours to emerge after that point, and Luke taking, [...]
I read on the Celebrity Baby Blog today about one of the blog contributors running into a few celebrities while on vacation. First of all, how a blog contributor can afford to stay at the Four Seasons in Maui is beyond me. I think even if Marc and I could afford it, we could never justify [...]
