We arrived home from the hospital 25.5 hours after Olivia came into this world. We would’ve been home sooner, except for a failed attempt to find birthday cards for my mom and her twin brother whose big day is tomorrow…
Well… for the past three weeks I’ve been bitter with just about everyone I see, thinking [...]
Marc here, writing on Dixie’s behalf:
Meet Olivia Kate (details at Marc’s blog)
Okay this is too weird not to be shared:
Last night I dreamt that my friend Natalie’s living room was fillled with water, like a very deep swimming pool and our church was meeting there. Naked. Everyone was naked. At the point where my dream started, everyone was swimming around, sharing the peace. I seemed to [...]
Last night, shortly after we turned out the light, I thought I was going into labour. With my other pregnancies, my contractions have started in the middle of the night and were pretty much painless and I slept through them or at least in between them.

I think you can tell whose hands are whose. It was Luke’s first experience with paint, so I’ll forgive him for not being able to see each of his fingers individually (and, since it washed out, I will also forgive him for getting a big blob of paint on my shirt smack in the middle [...]

As we were watching it, Madeline started commenting to the television — and not the comments that Dora asks her child-viewers to [...]
My husband is the nicest guy. He’s got a really good heart. And sometimes I still can’t believe that he loves, he picked me, and he thinks I’m beautiful. I love you, Marc.
My 28th birthday is next Thursday, the 26th. For those of you not keeping track, that is 2 days before the baby is due. Marc and I always go to our favourite restaurant Amy’s on 2nd for our birthdays, our wedding anniversary, and our dating anniversary (which covers Valentine’s Day too, since he asked me [...]
I don’t know if this baby is going to come out before the due date or not, but, in faith, this is the last retrospective I’m going to do. Before that, however, I must say a big congratulations to my "due date partner in crime", Rebekah, who had her baby yesterday morning. Little Isaiah came [...]
