I know I’m at home with the baby, but updating daily is harder than you might think (that is just for those of you who have never stayed home with the baby – those who have know what I’m talking about! ) Ella is 19 weeks today. We arrived back yesterday evening from a busy [...]

Today I picked Marshall up from school for swimming lessons and he told me he had a “bloody boo boo”. yikes! He was running in the schoolyard and fell on the pavement so he got a nasty cut/scrape on his hand. He didn’t want to go swimming because his bandaid would fall off, and then [...]

We had a great time, though it was a lot of work (Rick made homemade hamburgers and potato salad, I made brocolli salad and did up the treat bags, lugging stuff to the park, chasing after children etc) and Marshall didn’t [...]

I am so pissed right now. I just spent the last 20+ minutes updating about our trip and lost it because I was using a window that I left open since a couple of days ago. AAAAAAARGH. I seriously do not know when I will have time to do that again. Bummer. See Current Photos [...]

We are finally getting settled back into the house after our big trip to Ontario and Quebec. Pictures and videos are being uploaded as I write this! I’m going to try to catch up a bit: April 24th Marshall had his first swimming lesson! We heard about a swimming instructor who does private lessons for [...]
