This weekend was your typical spring weekend in a typical suburb. The nice weather permitted us to work on the property, you know: cut the grass, plant some flowers, sweep the driveway, etc. Melissa and I try, but we simply can’t keep up with the crazy lady that lives in front of our [...]

The Mother’s Day weekend is traditionally a big one in our families. Not only was it Mother’s Day, but it was also my mother-in-laws birthday on Saturday, my brother-in-laws birthday on Sunday and my own birthday on Monday. So we had a lot to celebrate, and we did, with three days of [...]

Those are the two words that would best qualify our son Sam. Always smiling, always curious. Sam is now two and a half months old, and for a couple of weeks now, he’s been an entirely different baby. Which is, of course, normal in his development, and we couldn’t be happier too! [...]

One of the biggest questions we had as parents awaiting Sam’s birth, besides the whole “is it a boy or a girl” thing, is what Sam would look like. Because on the ultrasound, you get squat. The pic on the left is Sam’s first official picture! That’s his ultrasound at 12.6 weeks, and [...]

This weekend was a special one. I was sick. Food poisoning, had some bad cheese stuffed pasta. That was a first for me! And I’m actually glad it was only that, because having the flu could have been a big deal if Sam would have caught it! So Friday [...]

It’s that time of year again, you crank open the windows letting that fresh spring breeze fill the house, and that’s when you notice dust bunnies bigger than Russell Crowe’s ego sliding across the floor. Yep, it’s time for a little spring cleaning! That meant my lazy Sunday was shot! When you [...]

Since I’ve started back at work, when I get home, for me, it’s all Sammy all the time. Melissa deservedly gets the evening off and I take care of the little munchkin. A nice little tradition we’ve started is having bath time be a Father & Son moment. It’s our bonding time [...]

Being new parents means you’re going to read a few books on babies. Well its been two-fold for Melissa and I, as she’s got her 3 French books and I’ve got a couple English ones. So between us, we’ve read around 5 or 6 books, which all pretty much say the same things [...]
