Mommy! Mommy! Guess What I Found!

Okay…Logan didn’t say that….’cause he doesn’t talk yet. But I know he was thinking it as he gave me his sheepish little grin.
Logan and Zander were having their bath, and playing the way they usually do…..Zander splashing until every wall in the bathroom was shiny from water as it cascaded to the floor, Logan [...]

The Deposit Is Down

We went back to look at the model homes yesterday….and we put a deposit down on a lot. This means that we have a week to go back with another cheque and sign some more papers. And then the fun starts. Picking the colours, flooring, counter tops, etc. We don’t have [...]

Fun Family Facts

I thought, with all stress we’ve been going through the past couple of weeks, I would do something fun. The boys are so much alike, and at the same time so completely different. I thought I would do a little comparison thingy by way of a list of facts about the two [...]

I Clean!

Dinner tonight was….well….it was just one of those nights when neither son was willing to eat. There was screaming. There was crying. There was much grief. Until Zander did something that made mommy and daddy smile.
He took the face cloth we had to wipe Logan’s face….and started to wipe up the [...]

We Have Lift Off

Logan FINALLY started to crawl yesterday!
Due to his GERD, he didn’t get a lot of floor time (tummy time or otherwise). It was pretty much impossible for him to lie flat for the first 5 months of his life. He would start to reflux within a couple of minutes…even with all the medication [...]

Looking For Home

With all the trials and tribulations of the past 10 months dealing with Logan and his GERD, it has become painfully obvious how isolated we are here in the West end of Ottawa.
All of our support system, friends and family alike, live in the East end. It’s been tough for them to find the [...]

I Think & I Blog, Therefore I Get An Award!

Sara from Suburban Oblivion recently bestowed a Thinking Blogger Award on me. Is it well deserved? I’m not sure. But I will accept it, and all the accolades that come with receiving such a prestigious award (yes, I’m currently standing in the middle of my living room, bowing before a myriad of tripping hazards [...]

Searching For Answers

We recently received news that has left me shaken and heart-broken.
Friends of ours just lost their baby. After an emergency C-Section, Emily Grace was born brain dead as a result of her umbilical cord being wrapped tightly around her neck. I am so sad for their loss.
And this horrific news brings up [...]

There’s Only So Much A Cate Can Take

Seriously….I think our house is punishing us for wanting to leave.
Last night the humidifier on our furnace sprang a leak. Carlos went downstairs to see the now familiar scene of an indoor flood. Again, he was up late trying to rid our basement of water.
On another note, Zander has been showing signs of [...]

Man, These Guys Are Good!

Last night we discovered that the shut-off valve on the top of our newly installed water heater is leaking. Inspires confidence, doesn’t it?
The Company sent the nice man back this morning to fix it. Free of charge, no less….what a deal!
