Taxes are like sex…

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

You spend the whole time anticipating the end and when you get there it’s always too soon.
(Okay, not a perfect analogy. But, you get my drift. I mean, I did Marc’s taxes in 10 minutes while kneeling on the floor in our room with Madeline sick in bed, Olivia crawling all around, and [...]

The gods are smiling on me UPDATED

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I managed a quick nap this morning after going to bed way too late last night. I cleaned the kitchen after lunch with Olivia playing in the playpen next to me. Now all three of the kids are sleeping (you gotta love sickness sometimes!), and I’m off to sit at the little desk [...]

Marc’s out for a bit this evening, so I’ve been taking care of the three kids — one of which is healthy (though has apparently gained 2 pounds in one month — I’m blaming a really bad weighing last month), one of which is congested and with a slight fever, and the other just coming [...]

But then there are those moments…

Seriously, what’s the deal with this winter?!

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Madeline is upstairs asleep on our bed — not wanting to eat, looking absolutely horrible, and her dry lips telling me that she’s dehydrated.  Marc took Luke to the doctor late Monday afternoon when he wouldn’t stop crying, whining, and clinging to me, and saying that his tummy hurt all day.  (His new thing that [...]

Blog Silence & Donuts in the Snow

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

The internet has been rather quiet lately over in our neck of the web. People just aren’t posting much. And I guess I’m as guilty as the next guy. Daily life has been changing for us for some reason, but in a good way. I don’t know if it’s the nursing [...]

Favourite part of the church ladies’ retreat weekend

My wicked ping pong form. Obviously.

Just sitting here watching the Oscars.

I can’t believe that Denny Duquette just won Best Supporting Actor. That’s crazy!

The Story of Ten Months

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

It began right there. 15 minutes after she was born — Olivia taking her first taste of mother’s milk. She nursed considerably sooner after birth than any of my other children. And it was a sweet moment. Sitting there in the delivery room with a brand new life in my arms, [...]
