Cough! Cough!

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

My son is sick. Nothing bad, according to the doctor, a simple viral infection. But it's his first illness, and he's only 6 months old... How do you explain to a baby who's nose is plugged, who has trouble feeding because it's hard to breathe at the same time, who keeps ...

A Beautiful Spring Day

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

I know, we are still in February and therefore it is not spring yet and won't be for another month. But tell that to Vancouverites today and they won't believe you. Right now, in their city, the sun is shining bright and it is 14 degrees (above zero, small precisions ...

We are expecting a high chair, delivered by FedEx. Yesterday, I was home all day. When I went to get the mail, I found a FedEx notice saying that they "didn't have the buzzer number". What? They had our apartment number, which is the same as the buzzer number. I ...
