After doing really well for a while after finishing my last round of meds Saturday I took a big step back. Monday I was able to get in to see my family doctor and she said it is quite common for this to come back so she immediately prescribed antibiotics again.

Wapuu Colouring Pages
My family has fallen in love with Wapuu, especially my son. He loves his Wapuu shirt and every time he puts it on in the morning he asks me if I’ll wear mine too. Lately he has been drawing and painting versions of Wapuu. He came home from school excited the other day to showContinue reading “Wapuu Colouring Pages”
Reason number …
No longer can I keep track of the number of reasons I love my job. But this is up there with the very top of them. Yesterday I received this feedback from one the people I had chatted with. It wasn’t only for me as they have chatted with a number of my team overContinue reading “Reason number …”
Unseen Perk
Tonight I found another unseen perk of distributed work. Jen is no longer afraid to cut my hair, because really who will see me anyway. YAY free haircut!

Noah’s favourite was the LegoContinue reading “Model train show”
Easy to please
All the kids just arrived home from school so there were eleven of them in the kitchen eating snacks of homemade peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and apple slices. My youngest daughter Ella, who does not like peanut butter, asked this instead: Can I just have a couple chocolate chips and a slice of bread?
Little George Costanza
Noah had been in the washroom for a little while and was being quiet, so I went to check on him. He was in there with everything but his socks off sitting on the toilet. When I asked him why he was naked he said, sometimes I get really hot so I take my clothesContinue reading “Little George Costanza”
Halifax day trip
Yesterday we took a wonderful day trip into Halifax. It was a beautiful day and it had been a while since we were able to all go spend a day together. This was the first day this year I was able to wear shorts and t-shirt, the only time I was a little cold wasContinue reading “Halifax day trip”
Backyard Wildlife
The view from my office window is great. Our backyard always has some critter running around out there it seems. There are lots of birds flying and singing. A few weeks back the big attractions was watching the squirrels sneaking around, climbing and jumping. We have deer who are semi regular visitors. As the cloverContinue reading “Backyard Wildlife”
