{Isabel comes over to speak to Mummy and Daddy, wearing a set of gold Mardi Gras-style beads}
Isabel: "I'm going to wear this and be the mother. I'm going to take the babies and put them in line for the doctor."
Mummy: "What happens then?"
Isabel: "If something happens, you don't say nothing." {Isabel scampers off to play.}
Mummy to Daddy: "We need to get better insurance. This hospital is ske-tchy."
Daddy: "Hi Everybody!"



Now, she's treating Orin's apparent broken foot with a princess sticker and dog food. o_O

Project 365 - June & July

Yeah, that's right. You are going to get two months worth of pictures in one shot. The good news is, I will just link them from FB so that you don't have to wait for oodles of pictures to load.

Summer time!

That is our entire summer album to date. Feel free to check in again over the course of the summer. There will be additions. :)

I won't leave you with only an album. I have been doing little photo documentaries as well that I will share with you.

The first one is: NDI @ 18-months. This is what NDI looks like for us right now. I just took pics of some fun stuff that I thought might give non-NDIers a glimpse inside.

We need a Head Bottle Washer.


Diaper sale....NDI-style!


Nothing like a diaper pail right next to your bed and in both upstairs bathrooms and in Orin's room...yikes.


Two days worth of Orin's laundry. Mostly bedding and pjs because, before his med change, I was changing his bed 3 times per night.


When it wasn't a gazillion degrees, I had 2-3 pair of jammies hanging on my headboard at any one time because he needed to be changed so many times through the night.


Also, because I am going for my surgery soon, I felt it was in my/Orin's best interest to get his room set up and move him in. Here's the end result:

Project 365 - May 30th & 31st (Dance Spectacular!)

Here are the photos from show #1, which we got to see.







These are from day #2. The bottom one is a quirky "whale car" parked outside the new convention center. It is advertising the Bay of Fundy as one of the New 7 Natural Wonders of the World

Project 365 - May 16th to 29th

Sweet Ride!


Isabel participated in the LHHS Best Buddies Fun Run and she ran her little heart out. She said she had fun and I think the photo and video prove it :)




Traffic....it has been kind of crappy since the Princess Margaret Bridge closed. It is making our lives a little more challenging, especially when it comes to getting Isabel to daycare.


mmmmm....homemade peanut butter cups.


Isabel wanted to have her hair done like the girl on her shirt. This was the best we could do, but I thought it was pretty good :)


Poor Orin-boo wasn't well toward the end of last week, so I kept him home with me on Friday. Here he is sleeping in the sling (are you getting tired of seeing pics like this :P )


A bottle and syringe cleaning.


A cuddle for Gramma <3


Where's Isabel?


THERE she is!


I put Isabel's hair up in rags to make it curly for the dance show. Here she is with it up. Super cute :D

{We'd just finished watching Follow the Feather, an episode of the Backyardigans featuring a wise, gypsy-type character called "The Mysterious Lady", who gives the other characters advice about their quest. Izzy had been quoting and pretending to be the Mysterious Lady for the last little while.}
Mummy: Isabel I need some help with the laundry. I would like you to sort out all of the socks and facecloths please.
Isabel: I'm the Mysterious Lady.
Mummy: Perfect! I need some help with the clothes, Mysterious Lady.
Isabel: The Mysterious Lady knows much. The Mysterious Lady doesn't do clothes.

Project 365 - May 15th

It rained today.....just as it has every day for the last two weeks....so we made a "tent" in the living room (Isabel just learned about camping at school this week, so my fort became a tent immediately upon her viewing it). We had great fun; we made shadow puppets against the roof with a flashlight and read books and played instruments(both of which were far more entertaining due simply to their being transported under a blanket suspended on kitchen chairs) among other things.




OMG! It's a Sasquatch running into our campsite! Run for your lives!!!!!


Oh....no...I take that back. It is simply the most hilarious photo I've taken of this child to date. He was cranky because I was taking pics instead of picking him up (he is teething and, therefore, moody). This is the result.

Project 365 - May 8th

IT'S A PICTURE EXPLOSION!!

We went for a walk by the river today because it was beautiful and because it is always interesting to be down near the river when it is swollen in spring. Enjoy the resulting photoshoot :)
