What’s wrong with this picture?

I recently had my final Post-Natal physical. And of course, the Nurse Practitioner (NP) had to ask us what we plan to do about contraception. It’s a really big deal here. I don’t know how many times I was asked about it during PRE-natal visits. In fact, as...

Timothy is Home

We are finally home. Timothy was discharged today, and it’s so good to have him home and in my arms. The last week has been spent commuting between Ronald McDonald House and the hospital. So thankful for RM House! They took great care of us, so we didn’t...

He’s Here!

Timothy Philip made his grand entrance on May 15, 2009 at am in Tampa Florida. He weighed 3.32 kilos (7.3 lbs) and was 50.8 cm long (20 inches) long. He has lots of dark brown hair and we’ve been told by nurses and visitors to the ward that he is the handsomest...

Two More Days…

Today is Wednesday – just in case you hadn’t figured it out yet! On Friday our little bundle will be born. I’m very excited to meet our Baby Boy. What will he look like? What kind of personality will he have? Will he take after his sister and keep us...

The Wasp

My daughter is amazing… yesterday while she was playing in one of the back rooms of the church, she was stung by a wasp. She didn’t cry. She just walked up to her Aunty Calah, held out her hand and said, “Owie! Hand owie.” By the time Calah...

And the day started out so well…

On Saturday, we set out on a simple journey that turned into a comedy of errors, that left me humour impaired and extremely high-maintainence for the next 2 days…We awoke at 6am, to clear skies and a spectacular view of the mountains looking down on us. Amber...

The Adventure Continues…

After 2 wonderful weeks in CA, we flew off to the Washington State to spend a restful week with our good friends Amber and Jake. Amber is also pregnant and her first little miracle is due 10 days before mine – that is, of course, if the munchkins choose to keep...

My Daughter is Allergic to America!

Ever since we arrived in Utopia (aka USA), Samantha has been struck with all manner of strange ailments… flu, ear infections, mystery illnesses that will not be cured… she’s even been attacked by American Ticks! Samantha has always been a healthy...

Tales of a Wayward Blogger

I’m sitting at a strange computer in a strange house in a strange land, surrounded by strangers, wondering where to start. So much has happened since November 7, but I can’t remember any of it, because my world shrank so dramatically on the day my Gorgeous...

Trucks are for Girls!

We got our new (second hand) Toyota Hilux 4 Door 4WD about a month after Samantha was born. For a really long time I wasn’t happy with the idea of replacing our death trap automatic truck with a manual gear 4WD. Oh, I loved the notion of a new, safe vehicle, but...
