P365 Day 181 – June 29th 2008

Samuel and I woke up early and I took the opportunity to hold a little photo shoot with the morning light. Look at those cute little feet. I have a bunch more photos but I will post them later. I think they deserve a post all on their own (oh, and I haven’t finished editing [...]

P365 Day 180 – June 28th 2008

Today was a real Mummy day for me. I took Thomas to a birthday party in the morning with a bunch of his daycare friends. Then we had Quinn over to play. He lives a few houses away but is sadly moving soon. OK, only a mile or so, but still… So I kept two [...]

P365 Day 179 – June 27th 2008

Friday was a beautiful day in Portland and Kei had the fabulous idea to get dinner down by the waterfront – actually ON the waterfront at a restaurant located on a pontoon. It took a little while to get our sea legs so we could avoid throwing up before dinner was served.
It was so nice [...]

P365 Day 178 – June 26th 2008

Thomas is shooting his laser like Buzz Lightyear. I feel I have to explain this action up front so people know he is not making a rude gesture in their direction. Although I’m not sure shooting someone with a laser is really very polite…

P365 Day 177 – June 25th 2008

Last week marked my first week alone with two boys. Yes, I am aware that there are some mothers who do this every day without the luxury of childcare but frankly I think they’re nuts. It is exhausting managing a toddler and a newborn – espcially the toddler. The newborn is no trouble at all. [...]

If I let myself get carried away (and if I weren’t limited by hard drive space) I would take a million photos of the rose garden near our house. I is breathtakingly beautiful right now in full bloom. And if you think the photo is impressive, you should really experience the divine smell. It is [...]

P365 Day 175 – June 23rd 2008

Almost there. You are looking at a photo of our beautiful bannister at the top of the stairs. The gateway to Nirvana – or at least more room and closet space, less noise and the return of our privacy. The bannister will be painted white to match the rest of the trim in the house, [...]

Can’t beat that logic

Daddy: Why are you in time out?
Thomas: Because you put me in time out.

I have a good idea… or how to (almost) get what you want

In the Grocery Store
Thomas: I have a good idea!
Mum: Really? What is it?
Thomas: Let’s buy me something!
In the car
Referring to some ice cream cones we saw in the store the day before. They had a picture of Buzz and Woody from Toy Story on them. Thomas calls them Woody and Buzz popsicals.
Mum: How about we [...]

Real Love

I am lacking some really goood new music lately. Here are a couple of new (well new to me) songs that I am enjoying. I have a $15 gift certificate to itunes that I have had since Xmas. Maybe I’ll finally splurge and use it to actually purchase these songs.
Why do I put so much [...]
