Perhaps it’s time to talk about some kids other than mine. So, a week late… let’s talk about the school play, “A Night at the Wax Museum”. It was worth writing about, although the words will never do it justice. It was a cute play, created by my colleague Mr. A and his actors, about…

Eighteen Months Old = A Year and a Half!
December 8th, 2010: My firstborn is a year-and-a-half old! Dear E, I wish there were a way you could know yourself. Like, when you’re fifteen or twenty-two, it would be great if you could hang out with your eighteen-month-old self. You would love you, just like everyone else does. Today I took you to the…
Wishing to Remember You
This is my grandpa. His picture was one of dozens included in a slide show as part of the Remembrance Day assembly at school today – all relatives of people in our school community. My grandpa was part of the 101st Airborne division for the American Allies during World War II, and parachuted into Normandy…
Jack-o’-Lanterns… still punkins at heart.
These are the Jack-‘o’-Lanterns we carved for Halloween last night. Can you guess which one was carved by Dilovely and which by my hubbibi? E was not happy to see this face on his beloved vegetable. He said, “Punkin… face… face.” He went to touch it and then started to look teary – so Skye…
Toddler Tracks IV
E the Toddler has sent his first text messages. He sent Sean “Zkqbb”, “Dearer set” (the iPhone even translates baby typing sometimes), “Mnnnnjjjmm Mmllel”, and “HalzxErZzkqwqatmb”. Then he sent my friend “U W c. Ymmjolllpl”. He is really trying to give kisses to the cats. They don’t want them, but it’s still cute to see…
Baby Bits XXIV – Fifteen Months Old
We celebrated today by finally finding a spot for E’s very own blue glass ball for his room (a gift from Auntie Beth). I wish I could capture in my memory forever the way his smile looks – full of wonder and joy – when he watches it spinning. He also took approximately two steps!…
Baby Bits XX
Here we are at our 20th Baby Bits already! (Hope you don’t mind my use of bullets in practically every post… I love them so.) E is still a Baby – he said so. Daddy asked him this morning, “Who’s a cutie-pie?” and he tapped his own chest and said, “Baby.” (He also apparently knows…
Baby Bits XIX
Here are some more Baby Bits, for E’s beloved Papa (my dad, his grandpa – Papa is what we call him and E has now latched onto the term)… because there are always more! I just don’t want to bore you with every little time he says something cute… plus there are too many to…
Family Camp 2010 at NeeKauNis – Some Favourite Moments
Well, I truly did try on Day One of Family Camp to send out a photo, and couldn’t figure it out from my iPhone. There’s probably a way, but at the time I was cooking for 35 people and single-parenting (lots of help on both counts, but still) so I didn’t pursue it. There are…
Baby Bits XVII
Here are more photos from yesterday – I got photo-happy all of a sudden. Here’s E eating carrots in the kitchen. They took a realllly long time (he’s only got eight teeth).
