We went up to the park on the Bayview campus today. Wee lad ran into a friend named Nora, who he met at last year’s “Tot Lot” summer program. They were testing out the new playground equipment near the Post Office. It’s a very nice setup, I discovered I can still do pull-ups while the kids were playing. We arrived

This morning while Nana and Wee lad and Jennifer were out shopping, the Wee Princess and I took a walk. We walked around the block, and then we walked over to the swings by the Memorial Garden and she was content to swing there for probably 15 minutes. We watched boats in the bay and birds and butterflies. Then we

We went shopping today in town at several of our favorite places. First stop was American Spoon to get a few treats and stuff for the grill. Next was Symon’s General Store for Cloudberries!!!. Cloudberries are Sweden in a jar. They are yummy on ice cream, yummy on breakfast starches such as pancakes and waffles, and just generally yummy in

So, the young Master comes in to get his breakfast this morning, toting the DVD case for Bambi and says “Hi Daddy. Want get my Bambi on!” … As far as I know, he’s never heard that particular construction of speech and it just sounded too funny coming from a 3 yr old who had no idea what he’d just

So… as of this afternoon both of the wee ones are eating normally and sending things through ok… That’s probably enough said, but YAY! Let me just say that again… YAY!
At least… that is the way it has seemed for the wee lass and her brother. He started on Saturday morning with some symptoms too disgusting to describe in detail, followed quickly by fatigue and a general lack of energy that lasted until late today. Most of the fatigue and its disappearance are probably due to the fact that he

So, we finished the wiring and install of the track lighting in the Den today, with much help from Jen’s parents. There is such a thing as too much light, and for a few minutes this evening, we had it. There will still be some adjustments to do (and with track lights, that’s easy) but I’ve been doing homework here

Jen managed to pull a bunch of friends and family together for a belated birthday (too many people couldn’t make it if we had held the party on Easter weekend, and my birthday was Good Friday this year). She also convinced them to pool their cash and get two sweet mega-gifts. The Philips 170B5CS flat panel display that I’d been

For a little over 7 weeks now, Sweetpea has been kicking hard enough that I can hear thumping when I press my ear up against Jen’s tummy. Long before that I could hear little swishy noises. The baby has been responding to light tapping and voice for some time. In the last week or two, baby has become strong enough
