Today is C's 39th birthday. I hope he has many more years left in him. Lots of love.

Little T just learned how to raspberry. He raspberries with great concentration and effort with a very serious expression. Then he grins hugely. It's really cute. He also said "bah" once for the first time yesterday. Perhaps the two are related. In any case, I think raspberries are a milestone. His OTs keep asking if he does them ( Read more... )

I just realised I'm much more nervous about being a bridesmaid at my brother's wedding than a bride at my own. I knew I was marrying the right guy, so the rest was gravy. I figured if I made a total idiot of myself at my wedding, at least I'd end up with C at the end of it ( Read more... )

Unfortunately the food had problems. Maybe we just picked the wrong dishes, or maybe it just needs to work things out. The ingredients were all fresh and things were cooked ( Read more... )

This morning at breakfast C gave me an anniversary present a few months late. He had given me a DVD on our actual anniversary of February 23, but it wasn't in theme.

C has been sick since Labour Day and I'm going insane ( Read more... )
