This is Blonde Bear at her desk. And just like here Papa, she likes to work at her desk while wearing a stylish toque…or as is called in the US, a woolen-knitted cap.

Sears photo portrait saga goes on
Remember me talking about the holiday theme photo shoot and the person there handing me the pics from our previous shoot? Did I mention that the previous shoot took place in August? And that they had previously printed the pictures but when they went to give them to me they saw the corners of the […]
Development progress
The most amazing opportunity in having twins is to see how two individuals develop while living in identical surroundings. First thing that we noticed is that Story, the Baby B, and smaller of the two at birth, is always on the move. She has discovered how to roll side to side and travels all around the […]
H1N1 vaccine reconsidered because…
If you had twin baby girls at home who are too young to get vaccinated against the H1N1 flu and you worked in a place where some of the people believe it is important for them to come into work even though they have been positively diagnosed with H1N1, would you reconsider getting the vaccine […]
Daylight savings time
I guess the twins did not get the memo about the clocks all being moved back an hour last night. Ususally at 6pm we take them upstairs and bathe them, get them into clean sleeping sacks, argue about how much baby powder to use on them (I err on the side of never too much) read […]
Movember in support of men’s health issues
In support of the fund-raiser for mens’ health issues I have decided to shave my beardy-thing off and sport a moustache for the month of Movember. I suppose I will now have to look into how the fund-raining aspect of this process works. I was hoping Greenpeace would not hear about this shaving today, it […]
Saturday sushi dinner time
So after our exhausting day with the twins yesterday we couldn’t even bring ourselves to make a salad for dinner. We were so wiped out I was sent out of the house to forage for food for us. Being semi-vegetarian this is sometimes a bit of an adventure. Semi-veggie to us means that we will […]
Email question received
To the individual who emailed me to ask, “How do you come up with all this stuff” the answer is simple; I just go out the front door of my house. This is our life. I don’t think I could make this stuff up if it did not actually happen to us. Welcome to our world.
Breakfast at Quan’s
Story and I are home from our Sunday breakfast at Quan’s Kitchen, our local diner. Story behaved like a little angel this morning saying that the extra hour of sleep made her feel so much more rested this morning. Personally, I thought it just gave her another on-the-hour opportunity to wake up. Whatever it did, she […]
My generally stinky attitude
Some have commented that I seem, well, let’s say, “gruff” with the people around me and the customer service people I encounter. And yes, this is in response to the emails I received re my Sears portrait experience and my offer to have Paul McCallum kick a field goal between the uprights of the next […]
