Why does it feel like time has sped up? Maybe December is just feeling more busy this year than other years. I finally finished my online reading course yesterday, and I thought that would help me feel accomplished and like I could cross something off of my "to do list", but it has just made me more stressed....maybe because now I am noticing all ( Read more... )

Well, that weekend felt like the longest weekend EVER, and now that it is over it feels like we didn't even HAVE a weekend since I was so wrapped up in missing Sophie.  I just wanted the weekend to end so badly so that she'd be home that I barely enjoyed it!  Luckily she LOVED camp!  She was fine--I should have known!  Over the last little while I ( Read more... )

So my big girl is going to camp tomorrow.  She has never been away from home for more than a night at a time and she spent it right down the street at a friend's house.  The farthest she has ever been away from me was probably 40 minutes away when I was in the hospital having Finley and she and Chloe were at home.  Now she is going away for TWO ( Read more... )

Wow, here we are, half way through the summer already!  How did that happen?  My girls are seeming so big.  Sophie especially.  It is her birthday in three days and she will be NINE!!  She has gotten so tall and doesn't look little anymore.  She is turning into such a gorgeous big girl, inside and out.  She is a great helper around the house and ( Read more... )

Living in the City - I have to say that I LOVE living in the city. We have lived in Toronto for four years now with our kids. (We also lived here before we had kids for three years from 1999-2002, which was a completely different experience-lots of clubs, bars, and hanging out.) I did enjoy living in a small ( Read more... )

Ahhh, Christmas is over! It was such a good one! Mike and Sue came over on Christmas Eve and we had Chinese food for dinner--Chinese food on Christmas Eve is our tradition every year. The kids exchanged their presents and our girls got a bunch of Webkinz that they love. After they left we let the kids open one present each from us. They each ( Read more... )

The countdown is ON!! 30 minutes is all that is left before I go get the big girls from school for the holidays!! Chris is out having drinks with people from work. Once I pick up the girls we are going to circle back to the house and get them changed out of their pajamas (pj day at school) and into pretty dresses and head over to the mall to see ( Read more... )
