SPLASH – FEBRUARY 20TH, 2009

Swimming lessons have become a regular Saturday event and, usually, Kei takes Thomas while I look after Samuel (which means I put him down for his nap and enjoy a little Nicole time ).

Thomas has many pairs of jeans in his dresser, most of which are unworn. These are cute jeans. Gymboree Jeans. But the problem until recently [...]

One thing I want to know… Why does Kei have my Dad as a friend when I didn’t know he was even on Facebook?
In other news, Samuel came down with his first ear infection this week – a double ear infection. I’ve been home with him since Monday and have spent the past few nights [...]
