New Year Post

Yes, I’ve been neglectful posting…but for good reason. Been contemplating a new shift in career. During all this ‘contemplation’, Christien has moved out of the crib and into his big-boy bed. It’s a new single bed close to the floor that took 3 hrs (!!) to put together. Last night was night number one. Mixed… Read More »

Ugh

So, the worst case scenario happens: My *sure* pick of the week gets blown out at home so I need to flip a coin next week and hope for the best. The salt in the wound: the team didn’t lose bad enough….I would have won my Fantasy championship by 2.7 points! I won’t soon forget… Read More »

Elimination pool update

The game that I’ve banked all my chips on was scheduled for last night but has been postponed until Tuesday night. This is a good thing since the big storm on the East Coast will not be a factor for this game. I sense that a lot of others were eliminated this week because there… Read More »

Olivia’s lost her first tooth

Yesterday at the sitters one of Olivia’s bottom teeth came out while eating a sandwich. It had been loose for a couple weeks now. When I picked her up yesterday she ran to the door and flashed me a big proud smile…and her tooth in her hand. Last night we put the tooth in a… Read More »

Cottage life is refreshingly familiar and OG turns 5

We go up to Wiarton with Sonia’s parents, cousins, aunts/uncles every year to the same location from Friday to Monday. We arrive at about the same time each year in about the same order. We have the same dinners on the same nights: pizza making on Friday night hosted by Sam, potluck on Saturday. Homemade… Read More »
