Receiving Things from my Christmas Wishlist Already!
So in a way some of my Christmas wish list has come true. Not exactly what I asked for but sure closer. My father has been moved into a long-term care facility close enough to my mother’s home so that she can now roll over in her electric wheelchair and see him any day. Another Christmas…

Another Early Start to the Day
Well, here we are at 5:30 am and I can honestly say we have been hard at life since 4:30 this morning. Story awoke, on schedule, and demanded to get into the office to begin her play day. So Caragh put her in the Play-Yard, a sort of containment unit for babies who are a…

The Bears Catching up on their Reading
We wanted to instill from an early age a value for reading in the girls. So we have created a literature rich environment, as you can see in the photo.

An Early Start to the Day
Today started at 4:15am when Annalie and Story woke up, ready to get things rolling. Waaaay to early for the adults in the house. The crappy thing about thses super early starts is that about 7:30am the girls flame out and need a nap. Unfortunately Caragh and I do not have that option because we…

The Q Steakhouse

Regardless, a very good time was had by the two of us who did make it. When we arrived the young lady at the door greeted us with a smile and remembered my request…

Teething Troubles and Pain Relief
This whole teething thing is starting to cause me quite a bit of grief. I’m not sure what to take for the pain I am feeling due to the girls constant yowling at bedtime. Annalie seems to have it worse than Story but I am definitely looking for something to relieve my pain; even the…

Dinner at the Q Steakhouse; a Vegetarian Breaks his Fast
It didn’t work out quite like I planned, but we did make it out to the Q Steakhouse for dinner tonight. For a couple of reasons I did not live-blog the event as I had planned. However, for those on Twitter, I did tweet the entire evening from the time we arrived to the time…

The Projectile Vomit
I have seen the stuff of legend; I have actually seen the projectile vomit…live, in action. Annalie, Story, Caragh and I are nursing colds. With all of us having colds, it adds that extra dimension of nifty to our days and nights. As any parent will tell you, we (parents, that is) do most activities in…

Annual Guy’s Dinner this Saturday at The Q Steakhouse
This coming Saturday I am going out for my annual guy’s Christmas Dinner. The location this year? The Q Steakhouse in Abbotsford. I will be live-blogging and tweeting the event from the dinner. This is a significant event because I have been a vegetarian for the past 15 years. When I say vegetarian, I am…

My Christmas Wish List
My Christmas Wish List #1 To sleep through the night and awake in the morning refreshed and ready to go again. #2 To sit in the evening and at about 7pm have the twins both just fall asleep and stay asleep as we lower them into their cribs. #3 To have a conversation, a conversation…
Got any book recommendations?
