It's been a quiet few weeks for us. Nothing too exciting happening on the weekends. One of the last few weekends Owen was actually pretty sick (for him). He was really dragging, actually napped, and we spent a quiet day inside playing despite the lovely weather. He perked up by the Sunday so the boys got to play outside a bit, and by Monday he ( Read more... )

So, all of a sudden it's April. I've called this and "April" update, but hopefully it's not the only one I end up posting in April ( Read more... )

Owen declared this to be the best weekend ever - and that was at 1:30 on Saturday afternoon! How could I top that, I thought to myself ( Read more... )

So, I survived my trip to New York City (not that it was in doubt, but it is in the past now, and in some ways, it was a bit of a trial! More info on that in a bit ( Read more... )

Looks like March will be coming in like a Lion, for us in Ottawa. We've got freezing rain and high winds today, then snow starting later today, and 15-20 cm tomorrow.

So, Mack and I are back in our bedroom, finally. Over the last few weeks, we finished drywalling and priming, then painting (it's a lovely colour now!). And this last weekend (which was a long weekend), we built all the IKEA wardrobes, which took a couple of days. We thanked Owen for his assistance and his patience, but he was away to his art ( Read more... )

I'm back, after a few weeks away. I've been pretty busy at work, and had a big Board meeting Thursday and Friday, so I've been working hard for the last few weeks preparing and rehearsing. It was fun actually presenting to a group of people, rather than to people on the phone ( Read more... )

It was a good weekend, though not too much happened. Mack had a gig on Friday night, but then the singer lost his voice so had to cancel for Saturday night. Sad way for it to happen, but it was nice to have another evening with him (even if we just watched football ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a sad day for me - the taking down of the Christmas tree. I love having it up, even if Mack and I can't see each other around it. :-) It was a great tree this year, very hardy and a lovely shape ( Read more... )
