One week to go!

One week to go!

Jul 24

A week to go until we move in and we getting a little excited (maybe). Slowly, but surely, we are putting things in boxes and the stacks of boxes are growing around the house. Jen has been doing a great job of packing things despite having a 3-month old around who conveniently wakes up and wants attention at the very moment you were just getting ready to do a bunch of work. I haven’t been...

3 Months!

3 Months!

Aidan turned 3 months old today! That’s a whole 1/4 of a year! It’s hard to believe time is flying along so fast. It’s funny to watch him develop. Things that we take for granted, like sitting up straight on our own, are difficult for him. He can barely lift his head at times, but is very determined he’s going to stand up on his own soon!

So after much procrastination and doing other stuff, I’ve finally uploaded enough pictures that I feel I can turn on the photo gallery.  Especially since I want to show off pictures of Aidan and his cousin Ella (who was born May 26th). Now I have to go back through the past 2 and a half years of taking digital pictures and post the good stuff.  Don’t hold your breath!...

This post comes to you live from Liberty International Airport in Newark, NJ where my flight has been delayed… again. The nice folks in Norfolk got me up here on an earlier flight, turning my expected wait from 2 hours to 3 hours. After checking the board, not seeing my flight and then checking with a gate agent to confirm there were no earlier flights to Ottawa than the 8:00 pm one I was...
