Samantha is by far, the most vocal of the kids. When she wants someone's attention she throws back her head and yells their name loudly until they reply "Yes Sammy?!". For Joe it is "DADDY!!", for Jen it is "GRAMMA" and today, to get my attention...

Joe has a bad back, the kids all have a cold and this whole week has been difficult. Coming from a mother of 3 small toddlers, that means far more than the average "difficult"! In the midst of this, December 5th marked the two year anniversary of...

The long awaited and much sought after eye appointment for Sarah was this morning. She is very impared in both eyes but the good news is that glasses will most likely do the trick. If they do, she won't require surgery. She actually enjoys the ey...

Salmonier Nature Park

2007-06-11T01:26:24Z

I thought Alex would really enjoy a trip to Salmonier Nature Park so we piled ourselves into the van and drove there for the day. He wasn't nearly as interested as we thought he'd be and in fact spent most of the walk in the stroller! Sarah and S...
