The count down is on.

I always find that once December 13th gets here Christmas comes even faster. It feels like you blink and it is here. I am so not ready. I haven’t bought my turkey yet. Heck I haven’t even finished my gift shopping. I still have about 5 people left to buy for. Ugh it passes so […]

The master of munching.

Last night Aly graduated to “Real Food”. She will be 6 months old on Friday and has been eating rice and oatmeal cereal for over 2 months now (she hates the rice cereal not that I blame her). When ever anyone has food near her she will stare at them and if she gets the […]

Family and Christmas fun.

Recently Rob’s Nan moved closer to us and his parents. She use to live about a 20 minute drive away but now her new apartment is only about 4 minutes away. So today Rob and I decided sort of last minute that we would take the boys to see the CP Holiday Train. So I […]

What is going on so far.

Nate was admited to Sick Kids yesterday and is being treated with IV antibiotics for entrocolitis (EC). They aren’t actually sure yet if he has it but they are playing things on the safe side because EC can be very dangerous if left untreated. So the treatment is a mix of 3 types of antibiotics […]

The world outside.

There is a weird thing that happens when I am sick for a long period (or in this case my son is). I don’t venture outside. Not to say I don’t go to my mail box, I do. But I don’t leave the property on which my house sits. I don’t go to the store. […]
