A Teaser

I'm still not posting as much as I'd like.  Especially since the last time I posted Christmas and New Years have already passed.  So thought that I'd put in this little teaser a week before Rhian turns 2 (before everyone in blogland completely disappears - if you are still reading, I'm certainly grateful).

Yes people, she is 2 (or will be next Saturday)!

An early birthday gift came in the mail from Granny today.  Lucky, lucky girl.  But an even luckier me!

You may be asking "Gee what is Mama planning to do to celebrate this precious little girl's 2nd birthday?"

To which  I say - "I will be hiring a sitter and going out for dinner with friends!"

(and why is this short little video taking sooooo long to upload?)

Yikes!

I am still here.  I must, must, must post.  We are fantastic.  I am busy.  Will get to it as soon as I get some pics downloaded...

Promise.

And I am behind on reading too...  Will catch up.  Soon.

Miss you blogland!

Mommy had a little lamb

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkins and Float Planes

We went to a pumpkin patch this morning and then to the park to watch the planes...

Occupy Vancouver

You know we weren't going to go.

I couldn't figure it out.  I'm a lawyer, earn a decent living, live in a country where I get free  mostly free health care, where the banks haven't been bailed out, and our financial institutions are strong sort of strong.   The movement seems disjointed, unorganized, and unfocused.  So what is the point.  And I struggled.

Then a friend (thank you!) sent me this:

And I thought about what she wrote.  And I decided that if I plan to raise an engaged, concerned, community minded daughter - we better damn well go.

So, subject to Rhian's fever dropping a bit.  We will be there.

Will you?

A trip to emergency

Not really the reaction you want after an immunization.
