This will be the fourth time I’ve started this post. It turns out long days of travel and nights in small hotel rooms with two small children are not conducive to blogging. (I know! Shocking!) I was tired in the evenings and since we only had one computer and I wasn’t strong enough to wrestle the [...]

letters from Canada
30Jun08This is my last official Canadian post! As of tomorrow morning we will *hopefully* be American residents! Cross your fingers for us that all goes well at the border. I am so nervous.
Now, on to official business…

Dear Avery,
I knew it was a very, VERY bad omen when you fell ill at lunch today, the day [...]
I’m starting to feel that this holiday, as wonderful as it has been, is becoming a kind of exquisite torture for the kids. Especially Kieran is having an increasingly hard time managing the running around from place to place, meeting endless bunches of new (to him) people and constant late nights. He is loving it, but it [...]
There are so many things I want to be writing about these days but we have been so busy spending time with many wonderful people here in Saskatoon. It has been such a pleasure to spend time here at “home” before we make the transition to living in the states. One more week to go! [...]
words that rhyme with “crazy”
17Jun08Ok, none of these words actually rhyme with crazy. But they all capture the spirit of the Cray-zay that is my life right now.
Home: Driving from Winnipeg to Saskatoon today was truly enjoyable in a way it has never been before. The main reason I’ve never appreciated it before is because it’s a nine hour [...]
arachnophobiaaaaAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
15Jun08My parents have a fairly new house. It was built almost 5 years ago now. It is lovely and modern and has room for us to visit for lengthy moderate short periods of time. My mom is an excellent housekeeper and her house is always spotless. I hardly feel I should complain about this little issue [...]
the picture post
15Jun08Haven’t posted pictures lately and I’ve been feeling a bit sluggish in the writing department so you get picture day, you lucky readers, you!
He’s just so TWO right now!
He recently discovered pockets and has decided they are the BEST. INVENTION. EVER. He constantly fills them with pebbles (his second favourite thing after pockets) and sometimes [...]
After witnessing Avery throw two hissy fits in ten minutes (over the highly volatile issue of a barrette falling out) her daddy mumbles a comment about Girls! and Their Hormones! and That Time Of The Month!
“Honey,” I quipped, “If there’s one thing you should have learned after being married to me for eight years, it’s [...]
blown away
12Jun08”If you’re not from the prairie,
You don’t know the wind,
You can’t know the wind.
Our cold winds of winter cut right to the core,
Hot summer wind devils can blow down the door.
As children we know when we play any game,
The wind will be there, yet we play just the same. [...]
an avery a day
11Jun08This week I had the opportunity to bring the kids to visit my mom’s class of grade two and three students. Kieran sat beside his sister looking dumbfounded. Avery enthusiastically answered a variety of questions from the students about where she is from and what her various “favourites” are. When asked what she wants to [...]
