Sandy, Sarah and Ezra (of baby-zombie fame) are in town. We’re having a wonderful time catching up, watching Eleanor & Ezra together (although they are largely ignoring each other. Eleanor pays attention long enough to take whatever Ezra happens to have in his hand), and generally just chilling out. On Friday, we spent some time [...]

Freaky Friday
June 7th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Carleton, EDG
Ok, not freaky. But unusual inasmuch we did three (for us) exciting things. As I’m sure almost none of you know, I’m a particular fan of pigeons. I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved them. When I was a child, my mother took me to Trafalgar Square back when it was covered in pigeons [...]

We took a video of Ellie doing tummy time the other day (also known as “face plant time”) with the hopes of sharing it with you, our readers. Two things prevent us from doing so. First, wordpress doesn’t allow us to post videos without paying a substantial fee. We’ll be able to take care of [...]
