**Lots of bloggers do “Wordless” days (traditionally Wednesdays) on which they don’t write a post, but they share pictures to speak for them.** Daddy takes some great photos with his iPhone. Here are some of my favourites from this fall. The ones that look like they’ve spent a decade on the fridge are taken using…

Toddler Tracks: More Recent Quotes and Conversations
Okay, I’m seriously overdue for one of these posts. The word “recent” in the title is relative – a lot of these quotes are from the summer or before. And really, he says quotable things ALL the time, but these are the ones I’ve managed to note down. It’s a marathon… there are so many,…
A little note to my favourite two-year-old
Dear E, Yesterday, we went to the hospital. No big deal for us – you’ve been to the hospital several times recently because Daddy has follow-ups for his surgery. You like it there; there are elevators, and a tree of balloons outside the gift shop. You especially like the parking meters. (E: “There’s the meter!”…
The Summer of My Initiation
It’s almost time to go back to school. Being in the school building this past week, I could feel reality setting in. It’s time to get my act together. Before I get completely immersed in that (so to speak), there are a few more things I need to officially process. I think all summers are…
A Blessed Event
We are an incredibly fortunate family. I have always known I was a very lucky girl, and I have always tried not to take things for granted… although, of course, all of us do sometimes. But I have never been more aware of my blessings than I am right now. From the moment we began…
Family Camp
We arrived home from Family Camp about 25 hours ago. E was such an incredibly good boy all day yesterday (in spite of having decided he’s definitely two years old all of a sudden – also in spite of pouring rain, being stuck in the backpack while Mommy swept floors, not being able to go…
Day One: Bereaved Parents
It is strange to think back to Friday, June 8th. For one thing, I can’t believe it’s already been twelve days since then. For another, I can’t believe it’s only been twelve days since then. But above all, it was an inherently strange day. We left the hospital with our painful news and a prescription…
BANG Movie Review: THOR
I first typed BANG Movie Review: Thor, and it just didn’t look right. This movie requires CAPS, people. See? I went to see the movie not knowing anything about the comic book it’s based on – except that it deals with the Norse god of thunder. I knew that it starred Chris Hemsworth, that guy…
Just a few reasons I love my hubby
I know I missed Valentine’s Day blogging this year, but I figure any day is a good day to write a tribute to someone you love. This one is about my Hubbibi. He is: snuggly warm and generous (to the extent that he always lets me warm my cold feet on him in bed –…
My List of Excuses
Okay. So here’s why I have been so shamefully neglecting Blogland. 1. Report cards, a.k.a. “Where the @#*! did all this unmarked work come from?!”, a.k.a. “Why the @#*! didn’t I do this marking earlier?!”, a.k.a. “How is it possible that I have half as many students as usual and somehow it seems like more…
