Day 48 – 3.5

Today is a special day.  I mostly think people are crazy when they talk about half-birthdays, except when it comes to those people born in late December/early January who were seriously ripped off in the birthday department.  Myself included.  And closest to my heart in that elite group of people, is Jaia.  And today she...

Surprise, surprise!

Dan is one of those people who wants very little fuss for his birthday.  When I asked him a few weeks ago what he’d like to do, he thought about it for a little while and then suggested we go to a movie.  That’s it.  No dinner, no time with friends.  A movie. Not good...

Happy birthday, Dan-o.

We spent the weekend and last night celebrating Dan’s birthday.  His friends went all out to make this birthday one of his best yet.  I know I had fun!  But then, I love birthdays and even more than birthdays, I LOVE surprises.  I’m planning a full post on that later – so stay tuned. But,...

Four Christmases (and two birthdays) – Part Deux

It seems like eons since all of this happened now, but with a couple of big firsts for Jaia, it definitely deserves a recap.  Plus, with no holidays or even a long weekend in sight for months, I may have to live in the past for a little while just be able to cope with...

Four Christmases (and two birthdays) – Part One

Our holidays were chock full this year.  Chock full of family, chock full of FOOD and chock full of presents.  We were spoiled, as per usual.  In order to do a wrap up without A) forgetting anything and B) boring the crap out of you, I have to break it down into chunks.  And a...

Oh the posts I will post!

Our holidays were insanely busy.  Make that, we were insanely busy relaxing.  We weren’t checking email.  We weren’t online banking.  We weren’t checking voicemails.  We had a wonderful, beautiful holiday in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia doing nothing but visiting, catching up, and, obviously, driving. Yup, that’s right.  Every 3 years we have what...

Happy birthday, Auntie Kris.

What I wouldn’t give to be there, with you, in paradise, having a cocktail to celebrate your big day.  Soon, my friend, very soon.  And in the meantime, my tickets to Victoria are booked!  So excited. xoxo
