Well folks, as I write this, my holiday vacation has little less than twenty four hours of life to it, but don’t get me wrong because I’m not complaining.  It’s been a very busy, wacky and wild two weeks, and maybe a little relaxed, slacker time at work is just what I need! My [...]

Well folks it is time for the big show! Santa is gonna slide his svelte little arse down our chimneys tonight, and Melissa and I are running around like Elves on PCP trying to get everything ready in time! We’re still making homemade sweets this morning, and we still have gifts to wrap!  I’ve been [...]

We are down to 2 little days before the big one, and lo-and-behold Sammy has scored the first Christmas gift of his life! No, it’s not a fat roll of twenties, but it’s pretty fun none the less.  Last night, we went over to a good friends for supper. Lyne “La Voisine” was originally [...]

…out of our Christmas decorations!  It’s like he considers their sudden appearance as an infringement on his turf or something.  Take this incident that happened this past weekend! Sam roughed Ted Teddington up pretty bad, even stomped on his holly berries! I can tell you the teddy bear survived, but he’s eating his stuffing through [...]

It may be a little early for some people, but Melissa and I love the holiday season, and poor Sammy has been dragged into it.  Until he can defend himself, he won’t have a choice but to submit to our month long festive mood.  This weekend, we are putting up the tree and whipping out [...]

Sam’s nine months old now and that means he’s booting around the floor soldier style, giving his parents fits when we turn around a don’t immediately see where he is… or what he’s doing… or what he’s putting in his mouth! Now, in addition to said movement issues, Sam has taken a liking [...]

Well, whomever said that parenting was an ever learning state of being hit the freakin’ nail on the head. Another little nugget of information concerning babies and their digestive systems has just acquired some real estate in my ever expanding parental brain. Here’s the situation: Sam has developed a little cough [...]

I know this post is long over due, but I figured I’d tell you about our Thanksgiving anyways, because we ended up in the hospital again!  Man, when it rains it pours!  I hadn’t been in a hospital in years, almost decades, and now it happens three times in a two month period!  So, with [...]
