We made it. It took a few hours more than we expected - but home is home. Our flight was due to leave at 7:10 pm. Dutifully we checked in at 5, and were at the gate by 6. Then - the airport in Kelowna closed. Trouble […]

Hell yeah.
At what point over the last 4 weeks did my little boy figure it all out? He laughs, snickers, coo’s and beguiles effortlessly. He can and will melt all hearts in sight, and all that - at 14 pounds.
Part Leopard tank, part James Bond.
He’s got it all figured […]
I haven’t blogged in quite a while. Since the day before Ben was born, to be exact.
The last 8 weeks have been an absolute blur, and I can’t believe so much has changed. My whole brain has shifted, and I have learned so much, you would not believe.
First, the amount of love I have for […]

It happened. We braved the mall and visited Santa for the very first time. And who do you think slept through it all? That’s right. Ben did.
Mom and Dad took time out on a blustery Sunday - just to visit with Jolly old St. Nick - and who […]

Yes - we clean his doodler, and dingleberries, perhaps even a wipe of the tooter. We’ve […]

What a time this is. We’re learning more about our precious son on a daily basis - as he learns about his small - but ever expanding world.
Today we’re taking our first trip. A little visit to the college, though the snow and sleet. It feels like we’re all […]

Sleep is indeed a figment of someones imagination. It is non-linear, and fluid - leading me to believe that sleep may actually be a cosmic strand… You know… like the “Nexus” that Guinan lived in from the crossover ST:TNG movie with Shatner and Malcom McDowell… OK nevermind…

It was a long night - and a short one. I ran home to let the pup-dogs get some people time, while Lin and Ben spent their first night together at the Casa de Grey Nuns.
I arrived to a cooing little baby with a few new scratches (fitting huh?) from his […]

Do these things come with manuals? Instructions? Come on now - our $400.00 TV had a great book, but this dude…. NOTHIN!
What a transformation. 10 months ago, we had given up on the chance of having a baby on our own after 3 years of trying. Seems […]
