new pics… 2008-07-11 07:53:41 I kind of forgot how different shooting with an SLR is… So I have been reading and trying to remember what I had learned in College… and that wasn’t working… so I am just trying to learn it all over again… lol…
I think that my camera manual is going to be my best friend for [...]
It’s here!! 2008-07-09 10:03:34 Now I am just waiting for the battery to charge…
It seems to be taking forever…. of course it has been only about 20 min but time seems to stand still when you stare at something…lol

New Camera on the way… 2008-07-05 22:26:44 wow… I am just on a spending binge here aren’t I?
I love my current Camera
(Canon G9)…
but well… I have long desired more “Umph”… I just love photography and I want to do more and as great as the G9 is… it is a P&S and has its limits…
So I decided to take the plunge [...]
I bought clothes… 2008-07-03 19:11:34 ok… ok… maybe not that news worthy to some… but for me who never buys clothes… well it is something worth mentioning… honestly…
I have never spent so much in one day on clothes in my life!!! actually I have never even spent 1/3 of what I spent yesterday…
I really needed it though…
All of my clothes [...]
Eating alone together with a stranger… 2008-07-01 09:32:30 Last Friday I decided to head to Montreal to see an old friend who had a photography/art exposition… I picked Simon up at work and we headed up to St-Denis and Deluth and I found a parking space right away which is always a nice thing…

Plateau… 2008-07-01 09:23:33 I am on a plateau right now… still hanging around 223-224…
The pool went into Summer hours and it makes it a lot harder to go… I would have to leave the minute Simon gets home to get my hour in… which would mean that supper would have to be done completely before Simon gets here… [...]
I’m here! 2008-07-27 11:17:49 I don’t have much internet access here at my mom’s so I haven’t been able to write much.. or upload pics… but I got a connection this morning so I am doing as much as I can…

We left this morning at 5:30… getting up 45min before…
Got to the [...]
last day… 2008-07-23 09:51:07 My dad arrived last night and we got him all set up… he has COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and is on oxygen so house-sitting means that he needed to bring his big machine and apnea machine and all of that…
Our bags are packed and pretty much ready to go… just a few last minute [...]
my last few days… 2008-07-20 08:22:57 Last week was like a blur…
All three boys had fevers and runny noses and were each miserable for a a day or two…On Friday I needed to get some things done in Montreal… I hesitated so much because the forcast was saying thundershowers for the whole day… but because the boys had been sick and [...]
A few more pics… 2008-07-18 22:49:13 I would have liked to have a few pics of Xavier up but he has been steering clear of the camera… lol
random thoughts… 2008-07-15 08:37:58 Man… I feel old…
We are leaving next week and I am getting more and more nervous…I get a queasy feeling each time I think about it… and with all that I need to prepare I have been feeling really queasy lately… especially now that Xavier’s party has past and now it is the only thing [...] Read more:thoughts
Xavier is turning 6!! 2008-07-14 12:05:36 In two days Xavier is going to be 6…
I remember thinking about him turning
6 when he was small… Thinking 5 years ahead when he was still a small little one… when we were still living in Montreal… when he was our only child….
6 years is not that long but it is hard at times [...]

to see the majestic Douglas Firs… What an amazing place…

playing in one of the trees…
It was a bit of a tourist trap [...]

In Nelson we stayed with [...]

It has been a bit rough at times being alone with all three but the roughtest times seemed to be when we ere with Annie… The kids seem to love being with each other at times but then something would happen and they [...]
“AP” past the age of 3… 2008-08-15 19:53:18 I have talked before on the blog how the “AP trend” seems to be instilled in the idea that “attachment parenting” is a list of things that you do.
Breastfeeding, co-sleeping, babywearing etc… all things that are on the “Sears List”… all things that are important in a infant and baby’s life…
But the lists that so [...]
midway vacation… 2008-08-15 18:09:47 Well… Simon left yesterday morning and I have to admit that being alone with the boys is already a bit of a challenge…
We are still at Annie’s house but we should be leaving this weekend to head back to Vancouver… there is a big part of me that is happy that we are staying longer [...]
Getting Published… 2008-09-18 19:39:54 well… it is official…
Simon and I both gave in some texts about our experiences with breastfeeding…
me from the experience of nursing one.. then two.. and then three…

We found out a while ago that they had been accepted but now everything is official and we have been invited to the [...]

Xavier: The atmosphere! Get it?
monday morning… 2008-09-15 08:10:18 three boys stomp by…
the little one falling behind…
they demand breakfast…
but first they have to pee…
so they stand on either side of the toilet while the little one looks on… when he is taller he will most likely join in..
I get the croissants out…
General Grievous brings me the peanut butter…
Obi wan runs away with the jar’s [...]
yesterday… 2008-09-11 10:01:12 Yesterday the boys and I headed out to the cabin to see my mom…
Not only were we heading out there to hang out, but my mom had asked me to bring the boys so that they could stay over a night or two.. and Xavier didn’t forget it and kept asking me when they could…so [...]

Article I just saw… 2008-09-04 15:35:39 “Natural birth may build bond between mother, baby”
“Brain scans on 12 new mothers found that natural childbirth may strengthen the bond between mother and child.
Scientists at Yale University think the contractions during natural childbirth trigger the release of oxytocin, known as the cuddling hormone, in the mother and form a closer attachment between mothers and [...] Read more:Article
isn’t it September? 2008-09-03 15:27:35 Before I left for BC I thought that it would be the last time I swam in our pool for the year… the last years the month of August gets cool and rainy and we don’t use the pool at all for almost the whole month… and then when we get a bit of warm [...] Read more:September
I’m home… 2008-09-03 14:36:12 The flight home on Monday was umm…. interesting….
For about half of the flight Khéna screamed… and cried and just wanted to get out of my arms…
